I  am not able to comment inside of the posted pages since they are images but here is a short summary of the key points.

  • Reductions in the  Demand for Labor
  • Reductions in the Demand for Labor due to Weather  Extremes.
  • Worker Absentism.
  • Declines in Productivity (heat is a major factor)
  • Impact on the self-employed.
  • Reallocation of Labor

It is a thorough report on the possible impacts but a bit short on data as to what the impacts have been but there is quite a bit of data in the report it is just not complete. It is a very interesting report to read on  Labor Day.
