Greenspan says U.S. productivity gains likely to continue

WASHINGTON, Apr 27, 2001 (AP WorldStream via COMTEX) -- The remarkable
improvement in American workers' productivity in recent years is likely to
continue despite the slowdown in the economy, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan
Greenspan said Friday.

There likely will be some moderation in productivity growth because of the
weaker economy, Greenspan said, but the lull should be only temporary.

Productivity, the amount of output per hour of work, is the key ingredient
determining Americans' living standards. The significant pickup in productivity
growth that has occurred since 1995 has been a major factor supporting the
record-long economic expansion.

In a speech delivered by satellite to a bond traders convention in West
Virginia, Greenspan indicated that he has not lost faith in the belief that
massive investments in computers and other high-tech equipment in recent years
has permanently improved the outlook for productivity.
