Overall, US productivity is still one of the world's highest, but that
is achieved by mechanization in the main. There is a skill level that
is variable within all work forces, worldwide. China/India/Pakistan are
no different in that regard than the US.

Y'think? Especially as it applies to production or factory labor? Or is
the whole skewed by the office worker's "productivity?"
Isn't it all GNP $ / workforce #?

How do they figure an item manufactured in China or any other place? No
question that the value added (or just taken) favors the
importer/distributor. Have a feeling that this may be some damned lies
converted to statistics.
