I thought it was pretty clear that the rise in productivity during the pandemic was almost fully explained by the fact that low productivity service sector jobs were not being done during the pandemic.

And the obvious flip side of it was that once those jobs started recovering, the output per hour would drop.

Do you have or know of any data on that?

I mean if you look at how productivity is measured, then it's pretty obvious.

We're not looking at productivity across the board - we're looking at productivity at a particular company that send their workers home. Companies like my company. Productivity soared when the employees were sent home. Many companies reported similar findings.
