hartz mountain bird seed reforms may be positive long run lever


Peter Hartz.

aka herr bird seed

job time redistribution can lead to a new normal for weekly hours

yes we want  adequate numbers of net new full time jobs
but full timehours needs to  decline
even as bottom 40% hourly wage rates  are lifted by organization

of course nothing suggests the german miracle will spread to norte amigo

but

german unemployment ...as a head count has declined even as total hired hours has declined
in fact german total hours declined faster then any where else

more jobs/ less median/mean  hours
