Working Hard?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the define-work dept.

Two related stories about working hard in the U.S.: U.S. workers are granted less (and take less) vacation time than workers in other industrialized nations. And if that wasn't enough, changes to the overtime laws will eliminate overtime pay for many workers.

    could this be because the strong dollar ?
    The people are having to work a lot to stay competitive with the international markets and some more to balance the exchange rate of the dollar. Unless the dollar weakens i dont see this trend changing.
