U.S. workers have become more productive amid tight labor markets

The rise in output per worker has been driven by factors including digitization and remote work, according to NYT Business.

NYT Business reports that U.S. worker productivity has continued to climb, with companies generating more output per employee than in years past.

The outlet points to several contributing forces, including tight labor markets and increased digitization across workplaces.

Remote work is also cited as one reason productivity has improved in recent years, alongside broader shifts in how businesses operate.

Overall, the article argues that gains have been occurring even without wider use of AI.
