working population growth is a big part of economic growth.

Reader comment on: Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations

GDP growth consists of increase in the working population + productivity effects. With the low growth rate of the working population and the decrease in immigration that factor won't help at all. So 3% is really a stretch goal for productivity if you have to depend only on productivity increase.
