[edit] Increases in productivity

This section asserts 'Many economists see the economic expansion of the later 1990s in the United States as being allowed by the massive increase in worker productivity that occurred during that period.' But as stated in a pos from Paul Krugman (http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/16/reconsidering-a-miracle/) "... properly measured, the productivity gap between America and Europe never happened." More references in Krugman's post. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.98.62.150 (talk) 15:33, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Productivity per person

I'm not an expert in economics, but I believe productivity per person is an especially important metric. If it is important, then maybe someone could add specific information about it.74.195.16.39 (talk) 11:28, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
