Preston Mui, a senior economist at Employ America, joins us this week, to dive into the improving trend in US productivity growth. Drawing on a recent paper highlighting parallels to the 1990s productivity boom, Mui emphasizes that whether we witness another boom in productivity hinges not on fate, but on policy decisions. He underscores the importance of tight labor markets, robust investment, and a stable supply of essentials to keep inflation at bay in nurturing productivity. As we navigate the present, echoes of the past resonate, inviting policymakers to shape the economic trajectory with purpose and foresight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
