True Patriot Love - Your Raise vs. Productivity： Why You're Losing Purchasing Power! #shorts

00:00:00.000 what happens then when my workers show up and ask for a raise i'm going to say listen inflation in

00:00:05.120 this country is pretty low and stable it's around one to three percent so i'm willing to give you

00:00:09.200 a one to three percent raise but that's about it if you want more than that then you need to up

00:00:13.520 your game you need to be more productive now if you can up your game one or two percentage points

00:00:19.280 then i don't mind tacking on an extra one two percentage points to your pay because

00:00:23.200 you're working harder for me but the workers pushback is going to be but i'm not in a position

00:00:27.840 to be able to work harder you haven't given me the tools to be able to work harder so the employer

00:00:31.520 just shrugs and says sorry then that's the way it goes but even worse i'm telling you that

00:00:36.560 productivity has been falling in this country so when the worker comes and says i want a two percent

00:00:41.200 raise the employer says look i'd give you two percent but you're working one percent less hard

00:00:46.160 so in fact i'm not giving you two i'm only going to give you one i'm clawing back some of that

00:00:50.480 and guess what you lose purchasing power and so on a year-to-year basis you might not notice it

00:00:55.520 but accumulated over decades, it's really become apparent that we have clearly fallen behind,

00:01:01.580 not just the Americans, but fallen behind where we could be because of this productivity problem.
