Given the complexity and ambiguity of the productivity equation, the
results one gets from an empirical analysis depend very much on one's
initial assumptions. For example, simply eliminating some
low-productivity, low-wage jobs would, "on average" raise US
productivity without necessarily increasing the productivity or wages
of the survivors.
