Most Productive Countries
Understand most productive countries: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.
Productivity measures output relative to an input such as hours worked. It is not a measure of how hard individuals try. Industry mix, technology and capital all influence national averages. Output per worker differs from output per hour, while cross-country comparisons usually need a purchasing-power adjustment rather than raw exchange rates.
