@escoeorg.bsky.socialWhat drives uneven productivity across industries and regions?
New ESCoE research shows productivity slowdowns are not just about weaker innovation. Industries falling behind their own potential may also be widening regional gaps: tinyurl.com/2jxasvuu

@eduinlatimer.bsky.socialReposted by @escoeorg.bsky.socialShout out to my @escoeorg.bsky.social colleague @joshmartinecon.bsky.social and to ONS researchers for all their work to improve the measurement of our economy. This is just one example that shows that how we measure things matters!
