![]() American labor productivity has flat-lined from 2008 onwards (see Chart 2 below), and now it is expected to actually decline for the first time in over 30 years. ![]() Sam Fleming and Chris Giles of the Financial Times have written recently about the long-term declines in labor productivity in China, the eurozone, the UK, and the US. One widely accepted measure of productivity in US economics is called Labor productivity (e.g., GDP/hour worked). Indeed, it can be confusing if one doesn't know what a research study or journalist is actually measuring when they refer to "productivity."Ĭhart 1: Long-Term Decline in Productivity Productivity can also be broken down by sectors, such as non-durables productivity vs. ![]() However, there are a number of different measures of productivity discussed in the literature and by the media (e.g., GDP/per capita, GDP/hour worked, and Non-Farm Payroll Productivity ). When these are all combined according to an accounting function in the determination of productivity, it is called Total Factor Productivity (TFP). National productivity is a broadly defined term, and in economics, technically it is comprised of separate factors for labor, capital and intermediate outputs. There has been a rising sense of concern amongst economists and central bankers over the widespread decline in economic productivity in recent years (e.g., change in GDP/per capita see Chart 1). ![]() It may be that the ultimate cause for this apparent conundrum is the financialization of the US economy. Furthermore, the robotics revolution and the IT revolution should have boosted productivity overall, but have not yet done so. This is a conundrum because in that same time frame, the returns to labor have plummeted due to globalization and automation. US productivity has stagnated for years, and is now going to decline for the first time in three decades. That's it so far (i'm only 54% of the way through), as I'm referencing the PDF to see what the original spelling was."Productivity isn't everything, but in the long run it is almost everything." - Paul Krugman "where tools (and even soldiers can be manufactured using PEN OPTION as a medium (PEN OPTION > PERCEPTION) "This extravagance cab be explained by the fact THAL malachite was traditionally" (THAL > THAT) "When a group of Newblood Houses gathers, there will be one old man, perhaps slouching at the HACK in a tattered yellow gown" (HACK > BACK) "Even low-ranking troops are likely to LEAVE experienced at least one forced regen mission" (LEAVE>HAVE) "The technique of radically re-sculpting the georgraphy the ecosystem, even the noosphere of a planet" (Needs a comma after geography) "He tended to be self-deprecating about his skills, OVEN after his initiation" (OVEN> EVEN) Thank you for understanding my intentions, here's some more I found: That's all I've found so far, and I want to emphasis this is NOT meant as a critisim and I am blown away by how good this book is for what was no doubt hours of unpaid labour of passion!
