productivity gap cdn

It's going to take investment and risk to close Canada's productivity gap with the United States, says a report released Monday by Deloitte Canada.

Canada's productivity performance lags behind the U.S. in virtually every instance, regardless of company size, sector, business type or location, notes the report titled The Future of Productivity: Clear choices for a competitive Canada. Productivity is cited as the amount of value (as measured in contribution to GDP) produced per hour worked. A Canadian worker generates $13 less per hour than a U.S. worker, $2 less than an Australian worker and $29 less than a Norwegian worker.
