The new information further discusses the ability of increased productivity to boost profits and raise pay without raising prices, keeping inflation in check. It also mentions the expectation of continued productivity gains with the integration of artificial intelligence. Additionally, it highlights the historical trend of technological improvements creating more jobs than they destroy and the role of satisfied workers in contributing to increased productivity. Finally, it mentions the comparison made by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago president between the surge in productivity and 'magic beanstalk beans for the economy' [8e09ef89].

Version 0.36 (2024-02-21 11:16:22.585000)

updates: The US economy's surprising resilience is attributed to a surge in productivity, as companies invest in machines and technology to compensate for worker shortages. The increased productivity allows companies to boost profits and raise employee pay without raising prices, keeping inflation in check. Economists compare the current productivity surge to the late 1990s when the sudden embrace of laptops, cellphones, and the internet led to a similar boost in productivity. The productivity boom is a result of companies achieving greater efficiencies through automation and advanced technology. The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago president likens the surge in productivity to "magic beanstalk beans for the economy" as it allows for faster income increases, wage growth, and GDP growth without generating inflation. The productivity gains are expected to continue as artificial intelligence (AI) begins to penetrate various industries, sustaining the efficiency improvements. While automation raises concerns about job displacement, history shows that technological improvements ultimately create more jobs than they destroy. Additionally, the tight labor markets of recent years have allowed workers to find better-paying and more satisfying jobs, contributing to increased productivity.

It also highlights the role of wage growth in driving investment in technology, automation, and training. The article from komu.com discusses the historic economic event of inflation returning to normal without a recession and attributes it to the recent burst of productivity growth. It also explores the reasons behind the productivity growth, such as the adoption of generative artificial intelligence and companies becoming more productive in anticipation of a recession that never occurred. The article emphasizes the difficulty of measuring productivity in real-time and the potential long-term impact of generative tools on productivity improvements.

updates: The article from CNN provides additional insights into the reasons behind the productivity boom and its impact on inflation and the economy. It suggests that the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and companies becoming more productive in anticipation of a recession that never happened could be contributing factors. The article also highlights the challenge of measuring productivity in real time, especially in the services sector. It remains to be seen if last year's productivity burst was a transformative shift or a temporary boost. Federal Reserve officials consider productivity before making policy decisions.

updates: US business activity picked up in December, with the flash US Composite PMI Output Index increasing to a five-month high of 51.0 from 50.7 in November, according to S&P Global [5e08a438]. The improvement came from the services sector, while manufacturing activity declined further [5e08a438]. The survey also showed an increase in new orders received by private businesses and private sector employment [5e08a438]. The Atlanta Federal Reserve raised its GDP growth estimate to a 2.6% annualized rate [5e08a438]. The survey indicates that the US economy gained momentum in December, driven by looser financial conditions and higher demand [5e08a438]. The US S&P Global Manufacturing PMI dropped to 48.2 in December, indicating a further contraction in the manufacturing sector [0db7e4cb]. However, the Services PMI improved to 51.3, suggesting growth in the services sector [0db7e4cb]. The US S&P Global Composite PMI edged higher to 51.0 in early December [0db7e4cb]. The survey's findings indicate that the US economy picked up some momentum in December, closing off the year with the fastest growth recorded since July [0db7e4cb]. However, the survey also suggests weak GDP growth in the fourth quarter [0db7e4cb]. The US Dollar Index remained in positive territory at around 102.50 [0db7e4cb]. The U.S. Flash PMI data indicates that the U.S. economy picked up momentum in December, ending the year with the fastest growth recorded since July. The service sector input cost inflation remained notably elevated, while manufacturing continued to drag on the economy with a decline in the order book. The headline S&P Global Flash US PMI Composite Output Index was slightly up in December, indicating a modest expansion in business activity. Employment trends diverged, with manufacturing reducing headcounts and service providers increasing hiring. Backlogs of work fell in both sectors, which could help fight inflation. The PMI data on selling prices for goods and services suggests that consumer price inflation is likely to cool only modestly further. The risks to inflation seem tilted to the downside, and the loosening of financial conditions may stimulate the economy. The article was written by IHS Markit, a world leader in critical information, analytics, and solutions for major industries and markets.
