Just one or two lines from that link:

"If productivity growth had followed its pre-financial crisis trend, then output per hour worked would be around 20pc higher today."

"“The rebound in productivity in the third quarter is highly welcome, but it needs to be seen in the context of a particularly poor first-half performance. There needs to be sustained improvement to ease concerns over the UK’s overall poor productivity record,”

"while a lack of new investment is also a problem."

"Productivity fell in industries including mining and quarrying, water supply, and recreation and culture in the third quarter."

"“While this increase in productivity is a welcome and positive start to 2018, 0.9pc is still a small step at a time when giant leaps are needed”
