The author missed the small peak in productivity around the recession but the main premise of the article stands - productivity growth has hit a wall in recent years.



No it doesn't stand, and your link doesn't back up the article.

Your chart shows an increase every single year. Not one data point on that chart shows a decline.


The rate of growth is declining and near zero.

The author is sloppy with his terms but I never claimed that aggregate productivity is decreasing, just growth rate
