(WASHINGTON POST)  Max Ehrenfreund — Friday’s jobs report was solidly encouraging, as Matt O’Brien writes at Wonkblog. U.S. firms added 280,000 employees to their payrolls, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said, more than analysts had predicted. Behind that big number, though, was a troubling question: if more people are working, why isn’t the economy getting much larger? It certainly appears as though American workers are getting less done — and as they become more inefficient, more of them are needed to keep the economy moving at the same pace.
