The OECD Employment Outlook 2016 (a range of country findings appended) shows that labour markets are recovering from the crisis and employment is set to return to pre-crisis level in 2017. However, wage growth remains weak and the global economy is stuck in a low‑growth trap. Productivity growth has stagnated over the past years and many workers who lost their jobs in manufacturing and construction during the crisis have regained employment in the services sector in jobs that often do not match their skills and are low-paid.
