In-Depth: DOL and the Human Spirit

Labor productivity is a very important aspect of America's global influence, and its ability to compete in the global economy. The economic definition of labor productivity refers to the "monetary value of what is produced by a unit of human labor". This means that people need to work for more than they are being paid, and what they have to spend to make a profit. Work is necessary for citizens of an advanced nation to live because work shows your worth, and it influences the amount of money you will get from working and achieving your true potential. Human labor is becoming less and less necessary as technological developments begin to take place. It will put the DOL out of business along with the entire human race because it is much cheaper to operate and maintain a machine, and get new machines than follow the 180 statues in the DOL. "Labor productivity implies two consecutive conversions of energy: first, a flow of energy input is converted into flow of applied power, and second, this flow of applied power is used to perform a particular work". This means that labor is putting energy into your job/ task. This energy is necessary to do your job/ task, and you must be efficient to work and gain a profit on your work accomplished. Child workers in the past were used because they had a high energy level all the time, and they could do many different types of jobs and tasks with minimal problems.
