IN BRIEF U.S. productivity rate soars WASHINGTON -America's businesses pumped out more with fewer employees last quarter in a big boost for productivity, and new claims for unemployment benefits are ris ing, underscoring the strains facing workers even as the economy gains momentum. Productivity- the amount an employee pro duces for each hour of work - soared at an annual rate of 6.8 percent in the April-to-June quarter, marking the largest increase since the first quarter of 2002, according to revised fig ures released Thursday by the Labor Department. That was even stronger than the government's initial estimate of a 5. 7 percent growth rate.
