Productivity jumps 5% for calendar year 2016

VOV.VN - Vietnam worker productivity jumped at an annual growth rate of 5% for calendar year 2016 rising by US$193 to US$3,853 per worker aged 15 and over, per figures from the General Statistical Office. 

Productivity expanded at the highest rate in industry and construction followed by the service sector and was heavily weighed down by agriculture, which comes as no surprise as low worker productivity is widely recognized.

The increased figures are welcomed news for the economy, said the statistics office and show that significant headway is being made and that as the economy shifts away from agriculture to industry more improvement is in store.
