Argentina’s far-right libertarian President Javier Milei is trying to push through anti-worker labor reform that will increase the work day to 12 hours, with no overtime.

Tweet For a variety of reasons, I want to post this graph here. It is constructed by me from the St. Louis Fed’s FRED Data from two different FRED files: total number of manufacturing workers in the U.S. (“MANEMP“) and total number of nonfarm workers in the U.S. (PAYEMS).
