Canada’s Productivity Problem with Michelle Alexopoulos and Jeremy Kronick

Since the mid-1980s, US labour productivity has grown by about 100 percent. But in Canada, it’s only grown by roughly 40 percent. Lower productivity means the economy grows more slowly — and that means Canadians’ paychecks grow more slowly as well.
