There's no indication current bar isn't too high, tho



Given that the US performs middling to poorly on most statistics of welfare and simultaneously has the longest working hours in the OECD I think it's safe to say we could set the bar higher.


Given that per-capita GDP is higher in US than in most those countries (actually all of them except oil-propelled Norway), you can argue that the bar could be even lower


What use is per-capita GDP if it's not getting to workers through real wage growth?
