Report: Slow Productivity Growth Could Hamper Economy

http://americasmarkets.usatoday.com/2014/04/23/report-slow-productivity-growth-could-hamper-economy/

The article says that aging Baby Boomers and lower investment in tech are responsible, but I dunno -- for years I've been hearing that American workers have been the most productive in the world, but without corresponding wage growth. Maybe it's just that something had to give at some point?
