"Labour productivity is notoriously hard to measure; measuring changes in it is
harder still.

It’s relatively easy to measure in the jobs we are doing less of these days,
such as making washing machines; harder to measure in the jobs we are doing
more of, such as caring for people.

And it’s less important than you might think. People aren’t a particularly
finite resource. Allowable carbon emissions are."
