Second Assignment:-

The article, "Heat Is Costing the U.S. Economy Billions in Lost Productivity" from the New York Times talks about how climate change is making it more likely for workers in different fields to be affected by extreme heat. As record-breaking heatwaves are scorching the United States, Amazon drivers, and warehouse workers have gone on strike to protest working conditions that are often hotter than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. But the effects of heat aren't just felt in agriculture and construction. They also affect workers in factories, warehouses, restaurants, airlines, telecommunications companies, delivery services, energy companies, and even home health aides. According to a new study, the economy as a whole and labor-intensive industry in particular are less productive when it is very hot. Heat makes people miss more work and work less, which means that a lot of work hours are lost. In 2021, the heat cost the U.S. business more than 2.5 billion hours of work in different fields. In 2020, it was thought that the cost of lost labor due to heat exposure would be around $100 billion, and by 2050, this number could reach $500 billion per year. The effects of heat on productivity are not the same for everyone. Workers in poorer counties lose more pay than those who work in wealthier counties because of the heat. Even though it's clear that being exposed to heat at work costs money and poses health risks, there are no national rules to protect workers from extreme heat. Even though some states have laws to protect workers from heat, there has been a push in some places to get rid of these laws. Employers will have to pay to help their workers deal with the problems caused by the heat. As climate change gets worse, companies will have to spend money on things like air conditioning and water breaks to keep workers safe and keep them working. But it's possible that these costs will be passed on to consumers, which will cause prices for goods and services to go up.
