The Economist has a tremendous charts available here showing what has happened to GDP per person employed since the Global Financial Crisis hit in 2007. The range of outcomes is huge with countries such as China, India, Indonesia and Poland achieving solid gains (indeed Poland was one of the few EU countries to avoid recession) whilst the PIIGS including Greece, Ireland and Italy have suffered badly. The UK is not immune too as the chart makes clear.

The chart would make for a terrific discussion among students starting their Unit 4 course and could also be used as a teaching resource for students new to macroeconomics - not least in prompting discussion of the meaning and measurement of GDP and the concept of the economic cycle.
