Alberta’s labour productivity declined in 2015

Description

The current recession caused Alberta’s labour productivity to decline sharply in 2015 as companies saw output fall that year while major payroll cuts were often postponed until 2016. As a result, the 5-year productivity growth rate fell from an average annual increase of 2.3% between 2009 and 2014 to only 0.6% per year between 2010 and 2015.
