The EU has outperformed the US on per-capita output growth; in terms of output per hour worked, some EU countries are as productive as the US

The article chooses to take a metric that you usually do not see much: GDP per employee and per hours worked, at purchasing power standards

    I agree, it would be great! Also definitely more efficient than the 24 official languages we currently have, lol.

    I guess Hungarians and Finns wouldn’t be too pleased by this division though. Hehe.

      Well, they can make their own common language if they want, that would still reduce the number of Finno-Urgic languages by 50% ha ha (not sure about the language group name, my memory is blurry)

        Hungarian and Finnish are far enough, the Finno-Ugric group is as diverse as the Indoeuropean one, it was just mostly wiped out in the Great Migrations.

        Hungarian is actually Ugric IIRC, and it is as close to Finnish as English is to Russian. The grammar is similar in some ways, but I don’t think there is substantial shared similar vocabulary.
