US / ‘Job-Full’ Recovery begins ?

Today, Capital Economics’ Paul Dales declares that era over. We have officially entered the “job-full recovery” era. (Chosen excerpts by Job Market Monitor)

The main evidence: payrolls have been growing faster than GDP for the past nine months.

Dales says this is probably the result of a limit reached on productivity spending:

A lot of this is due to the slowdown in productivity growth.

Any additional increases in demand therefore need to be accompanied by further increases in employment.
