Productivity so far has ordsprog

Productivity, so far, has really enabled the economy to grow at a more rapid pace than normal without generating any kind of substantial increase in wage pressures.

This economy is not producing jobs in a normal way. We have serious global competitive pressures working on the economy. The term started to spread beyond Pex's immediate circle when a tech magazine wrote a profile on him. There continues to be a very rapid increase in productivity, which is undermining demand for labor.

[A more doctrinaire Fed chief wouldn't have allowed the economy to grow this fast, but Greenspan argued that technology was creating productivity gains that would allow rapid, inflation-free growth.] There were a lot of economists at the Fed who thought not tightening back then was very dangerous, ... The great accomplishment of the Greenspan Fed was recognizing that productivity growth would allow the economy to grow at a faster rate.

The rise in wages of 6 cents might cause jitters, but wage inflation is less of a worry now, especially with productivity still growing at a healthy clip. As the economy slows, the unemployment rate will continue to inch up and wage pressures should ease further.

When you look at the fact that real wage gains are very much in line with productivity, I do not believe that we have inflationary pressures on the economy, ... As long as we can continue to see that picture in the future, then I think we should not be extraordinarily concerned about inflationary pressures.

This is a new paradigm. The fact that we have higher productivity has allowed the U.S. economy to grow more and grow more rapidly without triggering the usual inflation pressures.

Productivity always slows as the economy slows. If labor and wage costs are still on the rise and productivity slows, either corporate profits decline or prices increase.

The I.T.-producing industry itself, with its extraordinarily rapid pace of change, certainly has contributed to overall productivity growth. But now we're getting a bigger share from the rest of the economy.

There's a simple reason why that's so. The cost increase for businesses to cover the living wage is generally a very small share of their overall operating budget - in the range of 1 to 2 percent. So those kind of costs can be passed through to consumers in the form of slightly higher prices or could be passed through in terms of slight reduction in profitability or improvements in productivity - so that the adjustments that businesses have to make in order to absorb the wage increase for their lowest-paid workers is not really that large.

Lower tax rates would allow our businesses to grow at a much faster rate. It allows us to hire more people, to pay a higher wage, to invest more and to increase the pace, of course, at which our businesses can grow if we're not hampered by higher taxes.

Greenspan's comments underscore the notion that the Fed believes productivity is growing strong enough to allow the economy to grow at a faster pace without inflation,

It's obvious that the U.S. economy is very strong and producing jobs at a very robust pace. Even with the relatively tame wage gains, the market is anticipating another interest rate increase from the Fed.

These wage costs show that there are real wage increases going on in the community, but they are restrained and consistent with low inflation, provided the economy maintains productivity growth,

Over the past decade, the U.S. economy has benefited from a remarkable acceleration of productivity. But experience suggests that such rapid advances are unlikely to be maintained in an economy that has reached the cutting edge of technology.

Alan Greenspan (1926-)

[The numbers] are clearly good news for the Fed, ... Strong productivity numbers raise the economy's speed limit and dampen inflationary pressures, lessening the magnitude of the rate increases that the Fed would have to implement. The key question, however, is: what level of productivity growth is reasonable to assume for the future?
