And very few jobs in developed economies nowadays are classic assembly-line positions, where working 20 percent longer will mechanically produce 20 percent more widgets. Psychology plays a role here too: At least 40 years of studies suggest that people work harder if you limit their time to complete a certain task. In some cases, working too hard can actually reduce output. Long working hours are also associated with ill health, which means lost labor in the long term, as well as higher medical costs for employers and government. + http://www.spiegel.de/karriere/ausland/schweden-goeteborg-will-sechs-stunden-arbeitstag-einfuehren-a-964791.html]]>productivity work life balance Robert Skidelsky economics microeconomic policy microeconomics labour market job skill-biased technological change knowledge worker economy White-collar Blue-collar project management HR human resources people 6-hour day 4-day weekhttps://pinboard.in/u:asterisk2a/b:f25f8440ec66/Why Americans Are Moving Less: New Jobs Aren't Worth It - Richard Florida - The Atlantic Cities2014-04-29T19:26:24+00:00
