GTA 6 Release Expected to Cause Major Losses in the US Labor Market as Workers Plan to Skip Work

According to the International Business Times, approximately 1.5 million American workers are expected to miss work on Thursday, November 19, to play the highly anticipated game.

This could potentially cost the US economy $1 billion in lost productivity.

Reports indicate that employees are planning to take paid leave or call in sick, with technology companies expected to feel the sharpest impact.

The game has already generated $600 million in pre-orders and is expected to reach $4.5 billion in sales during its opening week.
