removing the need to re-enter data when they return to their office, and receive immediate feedback on potential drug interactions and suggested next steps.
These knowledge workers apply their skills not just to perform individual tasks assigned to them,
today†s workers expect to be able to configure their own environment to suit their working style,
so that ideas from workers at all levels are captured to provide a more accurate picture. This led to the development of social business applications that allow for emergent structure and processes rather than imposing predetermined taxonomies and procedures
For example, a wiki used to document internal operational procedures can be updated directly by any worker with information on specific areas of the procedures.
Increasingly, these functions are integrated directly into the line of business applications that workers use every day and BPM systems are proving to be an ideal platform for this integration:
and workers from different areas will more easily lend their expertise to projects that bear some similarity to their own.

growth in workers, growth in productivity across-the-board and growth in the share of activity in high-productivity industries.
The first, growth in the number of workers, is a non-sustainable strategy and more importantly does nothing to increase productivity or per capita-income income growth.
America would clearly enjoy a larger GDP if the number of workers increased ten percent, but the average income of workers would not necessarily increase.

having workers remain in the labor market, even for just a year or two more, would have a positive effect on both the deficit (by increasing taxable income and reducing entitlements) and GDP.
One way to increase total work hours per worker is to increase the number of hours worked each year.
Americans already work more hours per year than workers in most developed nations. 30 Do we really want Americans to take even less than their paltry two weeks of vacation
so that workers work more years. This means, as described below, raising the retirement ages for Social security, Medicare,
and federal government retirement programs, limiting disability payments for prime-age workers, and reducing America†s prison population.
Americans will be spending more years in retirement consuming a share of the output of current workers,

but it will encourage workers to not retire early, leading to higher GDP and tax revenues.
Based on CBO€ s estimate for similar proposals, these changes will save approximately $77 billion over the next 10 years. 35 Assuming these changes cause the average worker to remain employed for two additional years
at the median salary and average tax rate for workers approaching retirement, these changes could also generate an additional $40 billion in taxes each year.
particularly for workers who are not able for physical reasons to work longer. However, these workers would still qualify for Medicaid and Social security Disability insurance (SSDI.
Moreover, with the move to an economy with many more jobs in the services sector, the availability of jobs that require limited physical exertion has grown.

since there will not be enough jobs for the additional workers. But this view reflects what economists call the â€oelump of labor fallacy, â€

Congress should institute progressive indexing that indexes SSI benefits to wages for low-income workers and to inflation for high-income workers.
For future low-wage workers, this means they would still receive more in real dollars than today†s low-wage workers,

Under the CBO proposal the FRA would rise by two months every year for workers born after 1952.
It would therefore reach 67 for workers born in 1958 and then go up to 70 for workers born in 1976 and later.
