U.S. workers caught in vicious cycle

They work harder, get paid less and still lose colleagues

“Millions of Americans pressured by a pair of forces that economists say are boosting productivity as companies large and small have slashed payrolls.

So far, it seems to be working for companies, at least. For workers and their families? Not so much.”
