    Help me leech

    I want the data published in this report, but I don't want to pay for it. How do I proceed?

    Here's the news release with several figures from that report, to those interested: http://www.conference-board.org/util...?press_ID=2799

      It's pretty wide in scope and I don't think it's easy to make internationally comparable statistics when it concerns productivity. AFAIK, most European countries don't even release productivity data at all.

        The article is available online as a PDF... While the general public needs to pay, some universities might have access to that, allowing students to download it for free. (Or maybe not, considering it mentions a "Member Price" of $75.)

        But there are plenty of students around here, someone might be able to access it and e-mail it to you.

        I'm at university on Wednesday. I could give it a shot.

        Failing that, maybe you can try to blackmail or 419 the authors and have them send the report, or $295, to you.
