Seattle metro employees are not only more productive than workers in other parts of the country, they're widening their lead, data shows. A recent McKinsey & Co. report on worker productivity found that while Seattle-area employees were 16% more productive than average nationally in 2007, the gap grew to 38% by 2019. The study defines labor productivity as economic output per hour worked. The Seattle area's real gross domestic product per employee in 2019 was $172,437 — the third-highest in the nation.
