PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS BY INDUSTRY, 2001 

 Labor productivitydefined as output per hourrose in 2001 in 55 percent of the 

164 industries studied by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor. 

Output rose in 29 percent of the industries, while hours rose in 20 percent. 

 The share of industries with productivity increases in 2001 was significantly 

smaller than the share during the 1987-2001 period. From 1987 to 2001, labor 

productivity increased in 93 percent of the industries. Output rose in 87 percent of the 

industries, while hours rose in 52 percent. 

 The attached tables present industry productivity and related series that are based, 

for the first time, on the North American Industry Classification System, or NAICS. See 

technical note for information on NAICS conversion, industry coverage, and concepts. 

2000-2001 change 

More than half of the industries for which BLS maintains data recorded labor 

productivity gains in 2001, with output per hour increasing in 50 of the 86 manufacturing 

industries. (See table 1.) Over thirty percent of the industries in manufacturing had 

productivity gains greater than 2.5 percent. Five of the six largest manufacturing 

industries, those with more than 500,000 employees, recorded growth in output per hour. 

Of these, labor productivity rose 1.9 percent in motor vehicle parts manufacturing 

(NAICS 3363), 0.7 percent in printing and related support activities (NAICS 3231), 1.7 

percent in plastics products (NAICS 3261), 0.9 percent in animal slaughtering and 

processing (NAICS 3116), and 13.7 percent in aerospace products and parts 

manufacturing (NAICS 3364). Productivity in semiconductors and electronic 

components (NAICS 3344), in contrast, fell 0.8 percent. Unit labor costs, the ratio of 

total compensation to output, fell in 20 of the manufacturing industries. (See table 2.) 

Among the 50 manufacturing industries with increasing productivity, 19 also registered 

decreasing unit labor costs. 
2

Productivity increased in three of the four mining industries in 2001, with metal 

ore mining (NAICS 2122) and nonmetallic mineral mining and quarrying (NAICS 2123) 

registering gains in productivity of 5.9 percent and 3.3 percent, respectively. Unit labor 

costs in these industries fell. Productivity also increased in oil and gas extraction 

(NAICS 211), by 1.9 percent, but unit labor costs in this industry increased 3.6 percent. 

In overall mining (NAICS 21), productivity fell 1.6 percent while unit labor costs grew 

6.5 percent. 

Labor productivity grew in nine of the 20 industries measured for wholesale trade. 

Five of the nine nondurable goods wholesalers had productivity increases, while 3 of the 

durable goods wholesalers did. One of the two industries in electronic markets and 

agents and brokers (NAICS 425)─business-to-business electronic markets (NAICS

42511)─registered an increase in productivity of 17.9 percent, the largest increase in 

wholesale trade. Productivity in the wholesale sector as a whole grew 1.7 percent, while 

both output and hours fell, by 2.3 and 3.9 percent, respectively. Unit labor costs 

increased 1.4 percent in the wholesale trade sector. 

Labor productivity rose in 18 of the 27 retail trade industries in 2001. The 

increases ranged from 0.9 percent to 12.6 percent. Output per hour rose in five of the six

largest retail industries, all of which have 1,000,000 employees or more. Productivity

grew 2.6 percent in grocery stores (NAICS 4451), 1.1 percent in automobile dealers 

(NAICS 4411), 11.2 percent in other general merchandise stores (NAICS 4529), 1.2 

percent in building material and supplies dealers (NAICS 4441), and 3.6 percent in 

clothing stores (NAICS 4481). Department stores (NAICS 4521) experienced a 2.3 

percent productivity decline. Among the 18 retail trade industries with increasing

productivity, 16 also experienced decreasing unit labor costs. Reflecting the growth 

among the individual retail trade industries, productivity in the retail trade sector as a 

whole (NAICS 44-45) rose 2.6 percent. Output also increased 2.6 percent, while hours 

were unchanged. Unit labor costs fell 4.5 percent in the retail sector. 

In 2001, productivity fell in four of the six industries in the transportation and 

warehousing, and utilities industries for which measures were constructed. The largest 

productivity gain was 6.7 percent in line-haul railroads (NAICS 482111). Similarly,

productivity fell in the majority of the measured industries in the information sector, with 

the largest gain (24.2 percent) posted by wireless telecommunications carriers (NAICS 

5172). 

Among all other service providers, which includes industries in the finance and 

insurance, real estate and rental leasing, professional and technical services, 

accommodation and food services, and other services sectors, gains in output per hour 

were posted in 2001 in seven of the fourteen industries for which the BLS maintains 

measures. Productivity in full-service restaurants (NAICS 7221), the largest industry in 

this group in terms of employment, was unchanged. Among other large industries, 

productivity rose 2.0 percent in limited-service eating places (NAICS 7222), but fell 3.6 

percent in traveler accommodations (NAICS 7211). Productivity also declined 2.7 
3

percent in commercial banking (NAICS 52211). Unit labor costs declined in five of the 

industries in these sectors. 

 

Long-term trends 

From 1987 to 2001, nearly all industries posted productivity gains. (See table 1.) 

In the manufacturing sector output per hour increased in 85 of the 86 industries. 

Productivity advanced 5.0 percent per year or more in 6 manufacturing industries; 

another 21 industries experienced annual productivity growth in the 2.5-4.9 percent 

range. Unit labor costs fell in 13 industries in the manufacturing sector. 

All of the mining industries posted productivity gains during the 1987-2001

period. The two industries with the fastest growth in labor productivity also reduced unit 

labor costs. In coal mining (NAICS 2121), output per hour rose 4.9 percent per year and 

unit labor costs fell 2.5 percent per year. In metal ore mining, productivity increased 4.5 

percent per year and unit labor costs decreased 0.4 percent per year. In overall mining,

productivity increased 1.7 percent per year and unit labor costs increased 2.8 percent per 

year.

Labor productivity increased in 16 of the 20 industries in the wholesale trade 

sector between 1987 and 2001. Three of the wholesale trade industries registered gains 

in excess of 5.0 percent per year. Productivity in an additional four industries increased 

between 2.5 and 4.9 percent per year. Productivity in the wholesale trade sector rose 3.3 

percent per year. Output, employment and unit labor costs also increased─by 4.1 percent 

per year, 0.8 percent per year, and 1.1 percent per year, respectively. 

Output per hour increased in most of the retail trade industries between 1987 and 

2001. Labor productivity advanced 5.0 percent per year or more in four of the retail 

industries, and eleven registered annual growth rates in output per hour in the 2.5-4.9 

percent range. Unit labor costs declined in 11 of the 27 retail trade industries. 

Productivity in the overall retail sector grew 2.7 percent per year during the 1987-2001 

period. Output increased 3.8 percent per year, while hours rose 1.1 percent per year. 

Unit labor costs grew 0.8 percent per year for the retail sector as a whole. 

All of the measured industries in the transportation and warehousing, and utilities 

sectors posted gains in output per hour during the 1987-2001 period. Productivity grew 

5.4 percent per year in line-haul railroads and 3.6 percent per year in both the utilities 

industries (NAICS 2211 and NAICS 2212). Of the measured industries in these sectors, 

only line-haul railroads registered a decline in unit labor costs. 

Productivity grew, between 1987 and 2001, in six of the seven industries in the 

information sector for which the BLS maintains measures. Output per hour rose 15.7 

percent per year among software publishers (NAICS 5112). Productivity growth in the 

telecommunications industries was also strong, with an increase of 9.9 percent per year 

posted by the wireless telecommunications industry and an increase of 6.2 percent per 
4

year registered by the wired telecommunications industry (NAICS 5171). These same 

industries posted declines in unit labor costs. 

Among other service providers, productivity increased in eleven of the fourteen 

measured industries. Productivity advances among these industries were rather modest. 

Just two, advertising agencies (NAICS 54181) and truck, trailer and RV rental and 

leasing (NAICS 53212) registered increases in excess of 2.5 percent. Unit labor costs 

increased in all these industries. 

New Multifactor Productivity Series 

 Multifactor productivity and related measures for air transportation, NAICS 481, 

will be available on the BLS web site (http://www.bls.gov/mfp/home.htm) by September

30, 2003. An article discussing these new measures will appear in a forthcoming issue of 

the Monthly Labor Review. 

Technical Note 

Data in this news release reflect the conversion of the industry labor productivity

data to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), which replaces the 

Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system as the basis for assigning and tabulating

data by industry. The data in this news release replace the SIC-based series published in 

Table 46 of the Monthly Labor Review and in the news releases Productivity and Costs 

by Industry, 2000 (released April 23, 2002), BLS Releases New Series on Productivity 

and Costs in Wholesale Trade Industries, 1990-2000 (released June 20, 2002), and New 

Transportation and Service Productivity Measures (released January, 2003). Due to 

differences in NAICS and SIC structures, NAICS-based industry productivity data are 

not comparable to the SIC-based data. All of the measures for 2001 in this news release 

are preliminary and subject to revision. 

Data are provided for all 4-digit NAICS industries within manufacturing,

wholesale trade, and retail trade. Additional industry series, though not complete 

coverage, are provided for utilities, transportation and warehousing, information, finance 

and insurance, professional and technical services, accommodation and food services, 

and other services; these series are primarily at the 4-digit NAICS level, but include 

measures for various 5- and 6-digit service-producing industries where measures are not 

available at the 4-digit level. Also included in this news release are productivity and 

related data for some 3-digit NAICS subsectors in mining, wholesale trade, and retail 

trade, as well as measures for the mining, wholesale trade, and retail trade sectors as a 

whole. 

Overall, the industry productivity series account for over 60 percent of the 4-digit 

NAICS industries in the nonfarm business sector of the economy. Series for additional 5- 
5

and 6-digit industries within sectors covered in this report are being developed. 

Expansion of industry coverage within the service-producing sector will continue. 

Conversion to North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)

The NAICS classification system is the product of a cooperative effort on the part 

of the statistical agencies of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The NAICS differs 

from the SIC in that it uses a production-oriented approach to categorize economic units, 

focusing on how products and services are created in contrast to the SIC focus on what is 

produced. The structure of the NAICS system is also different from that of the SIC, with 

a greater emphasis on emerging industries and service-producing industries. Under 

NAICS, some detailed industries that existed under the SIC were collapsed or combined 

with other industries, while other new industries were added. Treatment of auxiliaries 

also changed under NAICS: NAICS classifies auxiliary units involved in activities such 

as transportation and warehousing; accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll services; and 

general management into specialized industries rather than including them in the 

manufacturing, trade, or service industries they support (as in the SIC). As a result of 

these changes, many of the NAICS industries are significantly different from those in the 

SIC system. 

Industry output indexes are prepared from basic data published by various public 

and private agencies, using the greatest level of detail available. Data from the Bureau of 

the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce, are used extensively in developing output 

series for manufacturing, trade, and service-producing industries, as well as in developing

compensation and unit labor cost series for manufacturing industries. Census Bureau 

data for years prior to 1997 were classified according to the Standard Industrial 

Classification (SIC) system. The 1997 Economic Censuses provided data on a NAICS 

basis, and data classified according to NAICS began to be provided in subsequent Annual 

Survey reports beginning in 1998 or 1999. Some data for wholesale and retail trade 

industries have been made available by the Census Bureau on a NAICS basis back to 

1992. 

The 1997 Economic Census questionnaires were designed to permit the 

classification of each establishment according to both NAICS and SIC. As a result, the 

Census Bureau tabulated and published 1997 Census data on both a NAICS and SIC 

basis. The Bureau of Labor Statistics used these dual-coded data to calculate conversion 

ratios relating NAICS values to SIC values, and the ratios were used to convert data on 

receipts, value of shipments, inventories and labor compensation for SIC-based industries 

to estimates for NAICS-based industries for years prior to 1997. 

The labor series used in the industry productivity measures are based primarily on 

employment and average weekly hours data from the Bureau’s Current Employment 

Statistics (CES) survey and the Current Population Survey (CPS). Other sources are the 

Association of American Railroads, the Department of Transportation, and the U.S. 

Postal Service. The CES data were published on a 2002 NAICS basis with the release of 

May 2003 data in June 2003. Historical NAICS data back to 1990 were provided for all 
6

of the CES series; data for years prior to 1990 were provided for some industries. CES 

NAICS industry series not available back to 1987 were extended back using conversion 

ratios derived from dual-coded first-quarter 2001 data from the Covered Employment and 

Wages Program (ES-202). These ratios were also used to convert historical ES-202 wage 

data from SIC to NAICS for use in the compensation and unit labor cost measures for 

non-manufacturing industries. 

 

Productivity measurement

The industry labor productivity measures describe the relationship between output 

and the labor time involved in its production. They show the changes from period to 

period in the amount of goods and services produced per hour. Although these measures 

relate output to hours of employees or all persons engaged in an industry, they do not 

measure the specific contribution of labor, capital, or any other factor of production. 

Rather, they reflect the joint effects of many influences, including changes in technology;

capital investment; level of output; utilization of capacity, energy, and materials; the

organization of production; managerial skill; and the characteristics and effort of the 

workforce. 

The indexes of industry output used in measuring labor productivity and unit 

labor costs are, wherever possible, calculated with a Tornqvist formula. This formula 

aggregates the growth rates of the various industry products between two periods using

the products’ shares in industry value of production, averaged over the two periods, as 

weights. 

Year-to-year movements in productivity measures for some industries might be 

erratic, particularly in the smaller industries. The annual changes in an industry’s output 

and use of labor may reflect cyclical changes in the economy rather than long-term 

trends. Also, annual productivity indexes are based on sample data, which are likely to 

differ from data generated by a census of establishments in the industry. As a result, 

long-term trends tend to be more reliable indicators of the performance of an industry

than are the year-to-year changes. 

Unit labor cost measurement

The unit labor cost series in this release describe the cost of labor input required 

to produce one unit of output. Unit labor costs are calculated as the ratio of current dollar 

labor compensation to constant dollar output. The indexes of unit labor costs for each 

industry are computed by dividing an index of current dollar compensation by an index of 

constant dollar output. 

Compensation is a measure of the cost to the employer of securing the services of 

labor. It is defined as payroll plus supplemental payments. Payroll includes salaries, 

wages, commissions, dismissal pay, bonuses, vacation and sick leave pay, and 

compensation in kind. Supplemental payments are divided into legally required 

expenditures and payments for voluntary programs. The legally required expenditures 

include employers’ contributions to Social Security, unemployment insurance taxes, and 
7

workers’ compensation. Payments for voluntary programs include all programs not 

specifically required by legislation, such as the employer portion of private health 

insurance and pension plans. 

 Productivity and unit labor cost data for the NAICS industries in this news release 

can be obtained in several ways: by visiting the Labor Productivity and Costs web site 

(http://www.bls.gov/lpc/home.htm); by calling the Division of Industry Productivity 

Studies (202-691-5618); or by sending a request by e-mail (dipsweb@bls.gov). 

Historical productivity and related series for 3- and 4-digit SIC industries through 2000 

will continue to be maintained, but will no longer be updated. SIC-based industry data are 

available on the BLS web site or by request.
