Companies Boost Productivity and Put off Hiring

This article talks about how companies are pushing their current employees to do more so that they don't have to hire more people. Firms are scared to hire a lot more people now because even though the economy is starting to look up, you can never be sure. American workers are very overworked, especially now. It seems to be, either you have a job and are fighting for your life to keep it, or your out of luck and can't find work anywhere.

  1. This article reminded me of a discussion I had in my Labor class where we talked about how high taxes in Europe discourage employers from finding new hires and instead having workers be more efficient.
