FRED® Economic data. The Conference Board<br /> <strong>Total Economy Database<sup>™</sup></strong> Global Productivity Slowdown Moderated in 2013 – 2014 May See Better Performance The global economy witnessed a deceleration in labor productivity growth for the third consecutive year.
Yet, compared to the intensity of the slowdown in previous years, the 2013 decline was modest. Labor productivity growth, measured as the average change in output per person employed, declined from 3.9 percent in 2010 to 2.6 percent in 2011, 1.8 percent in 2012, and 1.7 percent in 2013. The moderation in the productivity decline is mainly the result of a stabilization of productivity growth rates in mature economies at 0.9 percent. Labor productivity growth in the United States remained at 0.9 percent in 2013.
