The date range corresponding to the productivity peak in the late 1960s reflects the aftermath of World War II, when the U.S. converted from a military-industrial based economy to a consumer-based economy. The date range corresponding to the labor force peak in the early 1980s reflects the entrance of the baby boomer generation into the U.S. workforce.
