Simply By taking Ratio & Proportion, we can say if there's a decrease, increase or the same in worker's productivity:
\n" ); document.write( "Present scenario: \"PS=160units%2F40hours\"
\n" ); document.write( "------> \"cross%28160%294units%2Fcross%2840%29hour\"
\n" ); document.write( "------> \"4units%2Fhr\"
\n" ); document.write( "Previous week: \"PW=138units%2F36hours\"
\n" ); document.write( "------> \"cross%28138%293.83333units%2Fcross%2836%29hour\"
\n" ); document.write( "------> \"3.83333units%2Fhr\"
\n" ); document.write( "If you see, there's an \"highlight%28increase%29\" in the productivity:
\n" ); document.write( "\"PS%3EPW\"
