&lt;p&gt;It will likely come as little surprise that the average worker&#39;s productivity has made leaps and bounds over the past few decades. Nor that compensation hasn&#39;t increased at the same exponential pace. But a recent chart from the BLS shows just how far apart the two have grown since the onset of the computer revolution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.vault.com/VCM/blogs/BLS-Productivity_Data.png&quot; alt=&quot;BLS productivity data&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The chart raises a number of questions. Chief among them: is it likely that this trend will ever be reversed, or that the gap between productivity and salaries will close in future?
