You're welcome. By the way, that's 2000$, not 1996$.

Also, GDP per *paid* worker. The unpaid labor of women isn't accounted for. But since female labor force participation is way up since 1925, the 1925 denominator underestimates the labor input - so productivity is actually up much more than that, since adding unpaid women workers to the denominator would lower output per worker in 1925.
