  • Why Productivity Matters. It is sometimes easy to
    overlook the importance of productivity. National

    seem to be ho-hum theres nothing glamorous
    about them to get our attention. But make no
    mistake they are key economic indicatorsbaromete
    r, if you will, that affect everybody. How? High
    productivity and high standard of living go
    hand-in-hand. If a country becomes more
    service-based, as the United States has become,
    some (but not all) high-productivity
    manufacturing jobs are replaced by
    lower-productivity service jobs. That makes it
    more difficult to support a high standard of
    living.
