“Caused”

LOL at the Economist for not knowing that causality cannot be implied by retroactive data analysis, nor did they provide a counterfactual. You could literally make an equally statistically valid claim that US productivity growth was held back due to H1B holders because the counterfactual would have those same positions generating 50% more productivity growth if they were held by Americans.

It should have said something like “30%-50% of productivity growth was derived from positions held by H1B visa holders”.
