High-tech American economy - pi ... dej pure water
Rather, the work of statisticians. Judge for yourself:
Want to get numbers for US unemployment, inflation, or GDP? Get ready to fork out if you are interested in true information. Government statistics are so ridiculous that special services like ShadowStats.Com are only concerned with bringing numbers to their original state.
Although government statistics are still free, absolutely all the figures go through a process of “processing” which overestimates GDP and underestimates inflation. Here are just a few examples. Between 2000 and 2004, spending on computers in the United States increased by 9.3%. However, the figure was then increased by officials to 113.4% - a difference of almost 10 times!
')
Why? The fact is that the performance of computers during this period increased by more than 10 times. And although the volume and prices of computers did not change much during this period, the contribution of computers to US GDP suddenly increased 10 times simply due to more powerful processors.
By the way, if in 2000 and in 2004 people assembled a computer in an hour, then the labor productivity of the assembler also magically increased 10 times - again, due to a more efficient processor. Miracles, and only.
All the numbers are from here . In the same place more impudent receptions of lies.
