Industry Productivity Costs

The Industry Productivity program produces annual measures of output per hour, unit labor costs, and related series for a select group of U.S. industries. Indexes and annual percent changes are available by industry for labor productivity (output per hour), output per person, real output, the implicit price deflator for output, labor hours, employment, labor compensation, and unit labor costs. Level data underlying the productivity and cost measures - including nominal value of production, labor compensation, total annual hours, and total annual employment - also are available.
