The efficiency of America's workers grew at a slightly slower pace in the spring as companies sought to produce more with leaner work forces. Workers' compensation growth slowed, too.

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

You're right ( he wrote sarcastically) the American worker is a cry baby. If the work force would just see the light and become like those in S.E. Asia, all would be well here. So what if they are like that lady pictured in National Geographic a few months ago. A month's wages to buy a Thomas The Tank Engine isn't really too much to ask, now is it. Granted, it does make it hard to be patriotic and spendspendspend, but really, don't you get a warm fuzzy feeling providing dividends for some one who tossed a few bucks into the stock market? I know I do...
