General field: Bus/Financial
Detailed field: Economics | Source text - English
Productivity growth in the United States has declined from an average of over 3% per year in the 1980's to less than 1% in the early 1990's. This decline appears to be attributable to lower saving rates, less technological progress, aging capital and a decrease in labor quality (associated with declining educational standards). In the late 1990's, productivity growth rebounded to well over 3% per year.

O crescimento da produtividade nos Estados Unidos caiu de uma média de mais de 3% ao ano nos anos 80, para menos de 1% no início dos anos 90. Essa queda pode ser atribuída a índices de poupança mais baixos, menor progresso tecnológico e redução da qualidade da mão-de-obra (associada ao declínio do nível educacional). No final da década de 90, o ganho de produtividade voltou a subir para bem acima de 3% ao ano. |
