Worker Productivity in the U.S. Is at an All-Time Low: Who or What Is To Blame?

SAN FRANCISCO, June 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Once a pandemic-driven necessity, working from home has become a coveted fringe benefit for the fortunate few who, as it turned out, don't really need to be in the office to get the job done. Pre-COVID, roughly 7% of the U.S. workforce did their jobs from home. At the height of the pandemic, 55% of those lucky enough to still have a job worked from home. In 2023, the percentage has dropped to 35%, still seven times pre-pandemic numbers.(1) Perhaps not coincidentally, worker productivity is dropping at the fastest rate in 75 years, with five consecutive quarters of year-over-year decline, a phenomenon that hasn't happened since 1948, post-WWII.(2) The grim trifecta of labor shortages, inflation, and an imminent recession has most certainly put pressure on small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to reimagine their current business practices to weather the storm. Mikel Lindsaar, CEO and Founder of StoreConnect, proposes that "SMBs who invest in cost-and time-saving technology can overcome the current workforce and economic slumps and turn negative circumstances into positive outcomes."

Key Points: 
  • But there are other persistent challenges contributing to decreased productivity, and SMBs are in the crosshairs of another recession.
  • At the height of the pandemic, 55% of those lucky enough to still have a job worked from home.
  • (1) Perhaps not coincidentally, worker productivity is dropping at the fastest rate in 75 years, with five consecutive quarters of year-over-year decline, a phenomenon that hasn't happened since 1948, post-WWII.
  • Microsoft and Citrix conducted surveys of people in managerial roles to measure their level of confidence in the productivity of their remote workers.
