Study: Temperature may affect your job productivity

WASHINGTON (AP) – A new study says the hotter it is the less productive Americans are on the job. The study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that days that averaged about 77 degrees ended up reducing a person’s income by about $5 a day when compared with days that were about 20 degrees cooler. And a county’s average economic productivity decreased by nearly 1 percent for every degree that the average daily temperature was above 59.
