"And for every doubling in city size, there's a 14 to 27 percent increase in productivity per worker--meaning that individual workers are far more productive if they live in cities than they would be out in the sticks."
This is a really broad statement. I would be incredibly impressed if it applied in >95% of cases. How do you measure national productivity anyways? PPP adjusted GDP?
Yeah, looks like BS to me. It probably just means they earn more, which is natural because you don't run big, low paying factories in the middle of expensive cities these days.
