What is productivity?
2 comments

For some things it’s easy to measure: eg how much wheat is produced per hour of farm labor.

Some easy to measure things don’t rise and it’s easy to see why, e.g. how many students does one teacher teach in a given day.

Productivity in the aggregate is “the gross national” product and is calculated by the bureau of statistics. This is divided by the total number of hours worked.

Must be a very big spreadsheet. :)

GDP per labour hour.
