As per business intelligence provided by McKinsey, the digital divide in the USA is getting stronger than ever before. In fact the American economy is only functioning at about 18% of potential. This is due to the fact that while everyone is using digital technology, some of the leaders have raced far ahead. Technology based companies are doing particularly well. Sectors such as healthcare, government, hospitality, construction and local services are the usual laggards by comparison. The ones which have adopted digital technologies well have increased their profit margins by a factor of two or three times.
