Shropshire, We Need to Talk About Productivity



The Office for National Statistics published the latest productivity figures last week (6 Jan 17), for Q3 2016, showing that national productivity was up 0.4% on the quarter, and 1.1% on Q1 2008, and hence, “the productivity puzzle remains.”[1] Alongside these, they also published productivity data at a sub-regional level, although this lags the overall data with the most recent publication running to the end of 2015.
