Major Sector Quarterly Labor Productivity and Costs
Some productivity data series were incorrect in materials published on March 7, 2024. The incorrect data were included in the Productivity and Costs (R) Fourth Quarter and Annual Averages 2023 news release, as well as in the related data tables, charts, and database.

The corrected data will be published in the data tables, charts, and database on May 2, 2024.
