Do you want growth? Here is one easy solution

I guess pay for Performance works! Of course it works.

The countries that are growing more are on the left side and countries that are sick (Europe) are on the right side. Of course many other things can influence growth like stupid regulations & regulators (Again Europe). It's a simplistic analysis but it makes me think.

There is a huge correlation (Not causation) between growth & existence of pay for Performance.

Besides this many people in this Study feel that their contribution is much higher than their pay (It's almost never the case) , so if pay is linked in some way to some objective target or metric people will feel more in charge of their condition. This i think is a wonderful thing.

Labor is losing big time


The American worker knows that "improved efficiency" is largely innuendo for layoffs, longer hours, and only modest pay increases (assuming you can convince your boss to give you a raise).
So far, these efficiencies have been lucrative. Widening profit margins have enabled corporations to book fat profits on modest revenue growth.
But how long can this trend last?

You know i have written about this over and over again. A man with a machine can do the work of 100 man or more. If this is the case the salary of a man or woman must go down slowly but surely.

What can we do?

1.Do something manual that can not be replaced by a machine ( Bike Mechanic, Hair dresser, Gardener etc...)

2.Invest in the shares of the machine factory.

3.Invest your money in the companies that have the most machines & least labor costs. I guess the early adapter and of course the low cost producer.
