Productivity

The UK is currently experiencing what has become termed as a “productivity puzzle”, this refers to the fact that our productivity has stagnated since 2010. It's not just the UK that has suffered from weak productivity growth, it's across all advanced countries, but in the UK, the weakness is worse, meaning UK workers across every sector, urban and rural are producing less output per hour worked than our competitors in France, Germany and the US.
