How measured?

Productivity is measured by the factors that measure productivity.
Basically, you divide Gross National Product by hours worked, adjust
for inflation, etc etc.

That used to be the method back when the U.S. was primarily blue collar and work
hours were a good measurement. In the "professional" area, productivity is measured
by dividing GNP by people employed. In the telecom field, "productivity" went up a
great deal just by firing a bunch of people and changing over to a 70 to 90 hour work
week for the rest. Actual productivity per employee-hour went down.
