It’s too bad that neither this paper, nor the previous detailed survey one have a breakdown of “reasons for reduced productivity by industry”. They report 80% productivity for IT, much less for retail, but it would be nice to see the “top reasons” tables by industry, to tease out “is the IT industry problem mostly bad internet and family distractions?” while Banking / Finance is mostly regulatory? I do appreciate that they allowed people to enter values above 100 for “more productive”. I suspect very few did though. Some box plots would could be illuminating.
