Robert Peston: Flash productivity estimates from ONS criticized for inconsistency
ONS flash productivity estimates questioned

Robert Peston, journalist, economics & finance editor at ITV / Media, draws attention to comments by economist Paul Krugman on the critical role productivity plays in long-term prosperity.

Peston criticizes the flash productivity estimates released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), suggesting that discrepancies between different sets of data are a cause for embarrassment for the agency.

Peston has previously reported on labor market shifts, detailing a fall in payroll employment and vacancies in March as geopolitical tensions impacted the U.S. economy. He also noted major fundraising activity, with Ineffable Labs raising $1.1 billion in a seed round and reaching a $5.1 billion valuation. These earlier reports highlight his ongoing coverage of employment and capital flows.
