Productivity hits 1993 low as first-quarter output falls
The Labor Department reports U.S. productivity dropped 1.2 percent at an annual rate in Q1, the steepest fall since early 1993, as output rose slowly while hours worked surged. Analysts see a temporary slowdown amid a sluggish economy and expanding investments in productivity tech. Greenspan and economists expect a rebound as growth accelerates later in the year.
