" the US figure is boosted by Americans working more hours per year than
workers in most developed countries."


That's why they are MORE productive, dumb ass.


Productivity is measured as output per hour.


No it's not, it is GDP per unit of workforce pure calendar year. Go back
to your bingo.



Says the guy who obviously never studied economics.

I never study anything, it either comes to me or it doesn't.

Let me put it more
completely so perhaps you can follow it better: Productivity is measured as
output per man-hour. Working more un-productive hours does not improve
productivity. how else could you compare GDPs



That may be your understanding but the BBC report says productivity for
purposes of that report is defined as I said it was.
