One reading

Rising total output can indicate that the economy is expanding and supporting incomes and tax receipts.

Another reading

Total growth can coexist with weak output per person, uneven regional outcomes or limited productivity gains.

What the data cannot prove: a movement does not by itself identify its cause or show that every person experienced the same outcome.
