Calculations performed by Richard Gross of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California show that the quake sped up the rotation of the Earth and enlarged its wobble, causing the length of a day to shrink permanently by 3 millionths of a second.

Does this mean my employer will dock my pay for the shorter day?

Just what I needed. I don't have enough time in my day to get all my work done already, and now it's shorter.

If you work for Dell, the answer is yes - your pay will be reduced.

Actually the days are getting longer due to the Earth/Moon system anyway. This is a pretty small variation.

Does this mean.......

If your work week remains 40 hours, you will be over worked. Your holidays and vacation days will be shortened and you will in effect be getting less time off.

The auto workers union and the teamsters will attack the problem by year end by insisting on new work rules or perhaps more time off. The American working man will thus become even less competetive.

The resulting loss of income will surely result in an increase in the deficit as the GDP declines.

Probably, but do not even think about your taxes being lowered!!! :)
