American productivity growth has been strong over the past year (red and yellow dots in the chart) because more Americans are working.

More of this, please!

More good news today:
The inflation rate fell to 2.1% last month.

Combined with a strong 2.8% GDP growth and just 4.1% unemployment, that's a remarkable success by American policymakers.

Kudos!

DRAKE MAYE YOU LEGEND!!!!

The past few years have been unusual in that low-wage workers, like those in leisure and hospitality, have gained more than high-wage workers.

This is amazing and would have been unthinkable a few years ago.

What a turnaround for American manufacturing.

Just insane that America had the best productivity growth of comparable major nations in the years pre-COVID, then went "hold my beer" post-COVID and had ~double the productivity growth of the next-closest country

US government spending as a share of the economy is slightly lower today than in 1982.

What are the best explanations for US government employment falling so much as a share of the total over the past few decades?

This is amazing and would have been unthinkable a few years ago.

What a turnaround for American manufacturing.
