Answer to Question 1

Growth in real GDP per hour worked averaged 1.3 throughout the nineteenth century and then increased to over 2 until the mid-1970s (when it fell to 1.3 again). Productivity slowed dramatically during the mid-1970s, but the emergence of the new economy saw average annual growth rates in GDP per hour worked rebound to 2.4 from 1996 - 2005, and then slowed to 1.2 from 2006-2014.

Answer to Question 2

B
