The Deparment of Labor (DOL) released a report showing that U.S. worker
productivity has risen in the second quarter of 2014. This is a greater increase
than expected based on previous estimates.


Productivity increased at a 2.5% annualized rate, after a revised 4.5%
decrease in the prior three months that was the biggest since 1981, according to
the DOL.


The positive news comes a month after July’s favorable jobs report, which
showed that employers added more than 200,000 workers to payrolls for a sixth
straight month, the first time that’s happened since 1997.
