If we could just layoff enough people to increase employment we’ll be fine. We’re sinking into a deep recovery now with the current fact pattern.

“Higher productivity is widely regarded as the key to a rising standard of living because it usually leads to higher wages for workers and bigger profits for companies.”

But almost 1/2 million less jobs this month.
higher wages for workers

What workers will be left?

There was no higher productivity. The title is very deceptive. If you’ll notice, productivity FELL from 4th quarter to 1st quarter from 2.6 down to 1.6.

The media flat out lies. This could only have been intentional.
