Not OP, but your reply comes off as pretty rude, especially as I think its pretty off base.

The chart is showing "annual percentage change in labor output", not "gross productivity" which I think supports the OPs point.

If it went up 10% in 2020, and 6.3% in 2021 (or whatever the graph is showing), just because there is a -7.4% drop in 2022 doesn't mean its "far below any pre-pandemic baseline".

In fact it's probably ABOVE pre-pandemic levels, even with the drop. I can't be certain from graph.
