I wasn't trying to be precise, but to find the proper percentage, you could just divide the new salary by the old salary and then subtract 1.

60 ÷ 42 = 1.428

1.428 - 1 = .428, which is 42.8% just under my rough estimate of 45% hope that helps!

Generally, your gut is correct: productivity is the measure of output over time. More output over the same time is higher productivity.

But industries without a hard output wouldn't be measured the same way. There isn't a concrete way to measure the productivity of teachers, though they could try to measure efficiency and extrapolate productivity from that (higher efficiency is "same output over less time" which is theoretically more productive).
