Since the early 1990s, the United States has been plagued by weak employment growth when emerging from recessions – so-called ‘jobless recoveries’. Georg Graetz and Guy Michaels look at multiple recoveries elsewhere in the world over a 40-year period to see if the same applies – and whether modern technology is responsible.

This article summarises ‘Is Modern Technology Responsible for Jobless Recoveries?’ by Georg Graetz and Guy Michaels, CEP Discussion Paper No. 1461, January 2017
