Productivity crashed over the past year as the economy added workers at a rapid clip even as economic output grew slowly, data from the Department of Labor showed on Tuesday.
The productivity of the business sector fell 2.5 percent compared with a year ago, the largest decline ever recorded in data going back to the first quarter of 1948, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Tuesday

meh, productivity is a metric that includes cost of labor. We all know that wages are going up and inflation is biting at costs. Or at least they were. This metric is backward-looking. So tell us something we don't know.

A forward looking metric indicates inflation is receding.


  • The ISM® Prices Index registered 60 percent in July, 18.5 percentage points lower compared to the June reading of 78.5 percent, indicating raw materials prices increased for the 26th consecutive month, at a much slower rate. The Prices Index has been at or above 60 percent for 23 straight months. The month-over-month decline of 18.5 percentage points is the fourth biggest decline on record (since 1948 and the steepest since a 22.1-percentage point drop in June 2010. “The slowing in price increases is being driven by (1) volatility in the energy markets, (2) softening in the copper, steel, aluminum and corrugate markets and (3) a significant decrease in chemical demand. Notably, 21.5 percent of respondents reported paying lower prices in July, compared to 8.3 percent in June,” says Fiore. A Prices Index above 52.6 percent, over time, is generally consistent with an increase in the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Producer Price Index for Intermediate Materials.
Note the timeline indicated. Prices for raw materials have been increasing for 26 consecutive months. Biden has been in office for 17 months. Say what you will. The fact is, this is Trump's inflation.



"as the economy added workers"

Jobs added when a Republican president -- good
Jobs added when a Democratic president -- bad

We see you.

Sure all the time… I’ve even seen him step off one. Successfully. BUT, You know what I’ve never seen? I’ve never witnessed him fall three consecutive times going upstairs. Now that, takes talent. Joe wins hands down!

Donald Trump doesn't know how to ride a bike or drive a car. Look it up.

That's what happens when you are born wealthy enough to have a driver.

Edit: it's one of the things we made fun of you guys about back in 2016 when you thought trump was like you. Have you heard his views on physical exertion and how people are like batteries that just run out of energy and die?

Please show us examples of one of the many times trump rode a bike.

In the meantime, enjoy watching the orange moron walk down a ramp:
