@ZachWeinersmith so assuming 2% growth for the period between:
a 40 hour work week in 1945 is equivalent to an 8 hour 15 minute work week today

And I think we're all aware where the difference in value has gone

(I think it was significantly faster, but that isn't material for this part)

@RandomDamage @ZachWeinersmith yeah what's mindblowing isn't the productivity rate, it's that workers' pay and hours haven't progressed proportionally.
