A Message From the Editor

The good news is productivity is up. But, according to experts, that might have more to do with a unique confluence of events than any broader trends you can expect to playout long term. Our first item today looks into what's going on behind the numbers. Also, a federal court ruling is taking a dim view of last year's high-profile Superior Court decision, which raised the bar for companies to enforce arbitration agreements consented to over an app.

Thanks for reading!

– Max Mitchell, Regional Managing Editor
