Right on Kathy,

Raw data is BS. Data turned into useful information, graphically or
otherwise, can be used successfully for improvement.

The definition of productivity suits the presenter. However, the best people
working at maximum efficiency and effictiveness if my best liked. The
government uses this to their data's advantage as fewere workers are
employed but the same amount of work gets done but maybe not meeting
customer requirements and, most certainly, judged by more work. In a
declining economy, less work is available. Therefore, fewer workers are
needed. There's so much more but it all comes down to the governmental types
telling us ignorant folks the economy is recovering when many of my/your
friends don't swallow that as they are not working.
