A couple of problems with this sort of statistic. First:

"The ILO productivity figure is found by dividing a country's total
output in a year by the number of people employed."

I notice it doesn't factor in the hours worked. These are much higher in the USA
than in Europe.

I've always though productivity should be measured per man-hour.


In your case it would have to measured in donkey-picoseconds and even
then, the numbers wouldn't be very good.
