PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS

Fourth Quarter and Annual Averages 2013, Revised

Nonfarm business sector labor productivity increased at a 1.8 percent annual rate during the fourth quarter 

of 2013, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The increase in productivity reflects increases of 

3.4 percent in output and 1.6 percent in hours worked. (All quarterly percent changes in this release are 

seasonally adjusted annual rates.) From the fourth quarter of 2012 to the fourth quarter of 2013, productivity 

increased 1.3 percent as output and hours worked rose 2.9 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively. (See chart 1 

and table A.) Annual average productivity increased 0.5 percent from 2012 to 2013. (See table C.) 

Labor productivity, or output per hour, is calculated by dividing an index of real output by an index of hours 

worked of all persons, including employees, proprietors, and unpaid family workers. The measures released 

today are based on more recent source data than were available for the preliminary report. 

Unit labor costs in nonfarm businesses decreased 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013, while hourly 

compensation increased 1.7 percent. Unit labor costs fell 0.9 percent over the last four quarters. (See chart 2 

and table A.) 

BLS defines unit labor costs as the ratio of hourly compensation to labor productivity; increases in hourly 

compensation tend to increase unit labor costs and increases in output per hour tend to reduce them.

Data in this release reflect the annual benchmark revision of BLS Current Employment Statistics program 

data on nonfarm employment and hours, and the revised seasonal adjustment of those data. More detail can 

be found in tables 1 through 6 and appendix tables 1 through 6. See Revised measures on page 2.

Manufacturing sector productivity increased 1.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013, as output increased 

5.0 percent and hours worked increased 3.6 percent. Productivity increased 3.0 percent in the durable goods 

sector and decreased 0.1 percent in the nondurable goods sector. Over the last four quarters, manufacturing 

productivity increased 1.9 percent, as output increased 3.0 percent and hours increased 1.1 percent. Unit 

labor costs in manufacturing decreased 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013 and declined 1.0 percent 

from the same quarter a year ago. (See charts 3, 4 and tables A and 3.) 

The concepts, sources, and methods used for the manufacturing output series differ from those used in the 

business and nonfarm business output series; these output measures are not directly comparable. See 

Technical Notes for a more detailed explanation. (See page 6.) 

Revised measures

Quarterly and annual measures of hours and related series–including productivity– were revised back to 1979 

for the business, nonfarm business, and nonfinancial corporate sectors and back to 1990 for the 

manufacturing sector. The revisions incorporate revised Current Employment Statistics (CES) program data 

published February 7, 2014. From 2009 forward the data were subject to revision as a result of annual 

benchmarking of CES data and revised seasonal adjustment of those data. Prior to 2009 there were small

revisions due to the reclassification of some industries. Index measures related to hours show full historical 

revisions because the 2009 base year values were revised; resulting revisions to percent changes are small.

Third quarter, fourth quarter, and annual average data for 2013 were also revised for regular updates of 

source data on output and compensation. 

Revised and previous measures for the third and fourth quarters of 2013 are shown in table B for the 

business, nonfarm business, and manufacturing sectors. Revised annual average measures for 2009 to 2013 

are shown in table C for the nonfarm business and manufacturing sectors. Revised third quarter measures for 

the nonfinancial corporate sector are shown in table D. Quarterly and annual data for all sectors appear in 

tables 1-6 for 2011 through 2013 and in appendix tables 1-6 for 2008 through 2010. Full historical annual 

and quarterly measures can be found on the labor productivity and costs home page at

In the fourth quarter of 2013, nonfarm business productivity increased 1.8 percent rather than 3.2 percent 

as reported February 6. The revised figure reflects a 1.5 percentage point downward revision to output and a 

0.1 percentage point downward revision to hours. Unit labor costs decreased 0.1 percent, a smaller decline 

than was previously reported. Manufacturing productivity growth was revised downward, to 1.3 percent, 

reflecting a downward revision to output that was larger than a downward revision to hours. Due to both the 

downward revision to productivity and an upward revision to hourly compensation, manufacturing unit labor 

costs decreased 0.1 percent, rather than falling 1.0 percent as reported in the preliminary release. (See table 

B.) 

In the third quarter of 2013, nonfarm business productivity growth was little changed, at 3.5 percent, 

reflecting a slight upward revision to hours. Unit labor costs decreased 2.1 percent, as revised. In the 

manufacturing sector, productivity increased 0.2 percent rather than falling 0.1 percent as previously 

reported. The combination of the upward revision to productivity and a downward revision to compensation 

per hour resulted in a smaller increase in manufacturing unit labor costs than previously reported. (See table 

B.) Nonfinancial corporate sector productivity decreased 0.7 percent in the third quarter of 2013. (See 

table D.)

When the annual average indexes of output per hour are compared, nonfarm business sector productivity 

rose 0.5 percent from 2012 to 2013. Since 2010, productivity has increased at an average annual rate of 0.8 

percent, reflecting average annual growth rates of 2.8 percent in output and 2.0 percent in hours worked. In 

contrast, output per hour had increased 3.3 percent in 2010 as output increased 3.2 percent and hours 

declined 0.1 percent. In 2009, marked by the trough of the most recent recession, productivity grew 3.1 

percent as output fell 4.3 percent and hours fell faster, 7.2 percent. Unit labor costs rose 1.1 percent from 

2012 to 2013, similar to the 1.2 percent increase in the previous year. 

In the manufacturing sector, annual average productivity growth was revised down to 1.8 percent in 2013, 

the same rate as in 2012. Productivity growth over the last three years of 1.5 percent per year on average 

reflected annual average rates of growth in output and hours of 3.2 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively. 

Manufacturing unit labor costs fell 0.9 percent in 2013 as the 1.8 percent increase in productivity was greater 

than the 0.9 percent increase in compensation per hour. The gain in hourly compensation was the smallest in 

the annual series which extends back to 1988. (See table C.)

TECHNICAL NOTES

Labor Hours: Hours data for the labor productivity and cost measures include hours for all persons 

working in the sector—wage and salary workers, the self-employed and unpaid family workers. The 

primary source of hours and employment data is the BLS Current Employment Statistics (CES) 

program, which provides monthly survey data on the number of jobs held by wage and salary workers in 

nonfarm establishments. The CES also provides average weekly paid hours of production and 

nonsupervisory workers in these establishments. Weekly paid hours are adjusted to hours at work using 

data from the National Compensation Survey (NCS). The BLS Hours at Work survey, conducted for 

this purpose, was used for earlier years. The Office of Productivity and Technology estimates average 

weekly hours at work for nonproduction and supervisory workers using information from the Current 

Population Survey (CPS), the CES, and the NCS. 

Data from the CPS are used for farm labor, nonfarm proprietors, and nonfarm unpaid family 

workers. Estimates of labor input for government enterprises are derived from the CPS, the CES, and 

the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) prepared by the Bureau of Economic Analysis 

(BEA) of the Department of Commerce.

The CES measures jobs, counting a person who is employed by two or more establishments at 

each place of employment. In contrast, the CPS features measures of employment that count each person 

only once and classify each person according to his or her primary job; hours worked at all jobs by that 

person accrue to his or her primary job. However, the CPS also collects more detailed information on 

employment and hours worked at primary jobs and all other jobs, separately. The BLS productivity 

measures use the more detailed information on employment and hours to assign all hours worked to the 

correct industrial sector and avoid duplicating hours data from the CES.

Output: Business sector output is a chain-type, current-weighted index constructed after excluding from 

gross domestic product (GDP) the following outputs: general government, nonprofit institutions, and 

private households (including owner-occupied housing). Corresponding exclusions also are made in 

labor inputs. Business output accounted for about 75 percent of the value of GDP in 2012. Nonfarm 

business, which excludes farming, accounted for about 74 percent of GDP in 2012. 

Annual indexes for manufacturing and its durable and nondurable goods components are 

constructed by deflating current-dollar industry value of production data from the U.S. Bureau of the 

Census with deflators from the BLS. These deflators are based on data from the BLS producer price 

program and other sources. The industry shipments are aggregated using annual weights, and intrasector 

transactions are removed. Quarterly manufacturing output measures are based on the index of industrial 

production prepared monthly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, adjusted to be 

consistent with annual indexes of manufacturing sector output prepared by BLS. Durables include the 

following 3-digit NAICS industries: wood product manufacturing; nonmetallic mineral product 

manufacturing; primary metal manufacturing; fabricated metal product manufacturing; machinery 

manufacturing; computer and electronic product manufacturing; electrical equipment and appliance 

manufacturing; transportation equipment manufacturing; furniture and related product manufacturing; 

and miscellaneous manufacturing. Nondurables include: food manufacturing; beverage and tobacco 

product manufacturing; textile mills; textile product mills; apparel manufacturing; leather and allied 

product manufacturing; paper manufacturing; printing and related support activities; petroleum and coal 

products manufacturing; chemical manufacturing; and plastics and rubber products manufacturing. 

Nonfinancial corporate output is a chain-type, current-weighted index calculated on the basis of 

the costs incurred and the incomes earned from production. The output measure excludes the following 

outputs from GDP: general government; nonprofit institutions; private households; unincorporated 

business; and those corporations classified as offices of bank holding companies, offices of other 

holding companies, or offices in the finance and insurance sector. Nonfinancial corporations accounted 

for about 49 percent of the value of GDP in 2012. 

Productivity: These productivity measures describe the relationship between real 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 at work of all persons 

engaged in a sector, 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; 

-6- 
capital investment; level of output; utilization of capacity, energy, and materials; the organization of 

production; managerial skill; and the characteristics and effort of the work force. 

Labor Compensation: The measure includes accrued wages and salaries, supplements, employer 

contributions to employee benefit plans, and taxes. Estimates of labor compensation by major sector, 

required for measures of hourly compensation and unit labor costs, are based primarily on employee 

compensation data from the NIPA, prepared by the BEA. The compensation of employees in general 

government, nonprofit institutions and private households are subtracted from compensation of 

domestic employees to derive employee compensation for the business sector. The labor compensation 

of proprietors cannot be explicitly identified and must be estimated. This is done by assuming that 

proprietors have the same hourly compensation as employees in the same sector. The quarterly labor 

productivity and cost measures do not contain estimates of compensation for unpaid family workers. 

Unit Labor Costs: The measures of unit labor costs in this release describe the relationship between 

compensation per hour and productivity, or real output per hour, and can be used as an indicator of 

inflationary pressure on producers. Increases in hourly compensation increase unit labor costs; labor 

productivity increases offset compensation increases and lower unit labor costs. 

Presentation of the data: The quarterly data in this release are presented in three ways: as percent 

changes from the previous quarter presented at a compound annual rate, as percent changes from the 

corresponding quarter of the previous year, and as index number series where 2009=100. Annual data 

are presented both as index number series and percent changes from the previous year. 

The index numbers and rates of change reported in the productivity and costs news release are 

rounded to one decimal place. All percent changes in this release and on the BLS web site are calculated 

using index numbers to three decimal places. These index numbers are available at the BLS web site, 

www.bls.gov/data/home.htm, or by contacting the BLS Division of Major Sector Productivity.

SOURCES: Output data are from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Census Bureau of the U.S. 

Department of Commerce; the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor; and the Federal 

Reserve Board. Hours and compensation data are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of 

Economic Analysis.

RELIABILITY: Productivity and cost measures are regularly revised as more complete information 

becomes available. The measures are first published within 40 days of the close of the reference period; 

revisions appear 30 days later, and second revisions after an additional 60 days. In the business sector, the 

third publication (second revision) of a quarterly index of output per hour of all persons has differed from 

the initial value by between –1.6 and 1.5 index points approximately 95 percent of the time. This interval is 

based on the performance of this measure between the fourth quarter of 1995 and the third quarter of 2013. 

Table Footnotes

(1) Wages and salaries of employees plus employers' contributions for social insurance and private benefit 

plans. Except for nonfinancial corporations, where there are no self-employed, data also include an estimate

of wages, salaries, and supplemental payments for the self-employed. 

(2) The change for recent quarters is based on the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers 

(CPI-U). The trend from 1978-2012 is based on the Consumer Price Index research series (CPI-U-RS).

(3) Unit nonlabor payments include profits, consumption of fixed capital, taxes on production and imports 

less subsidies, net interest and miscellaneous payments, business current transfer payments, rental income

of persons, and the current surplus of government enterprises.

(4) Current dollar output divided by the output index. 

(5) Quarterly changes: Percent change compounded at annual rate is calculated using index numbers to 

three decimal places. Indexes published in the news release are rounded to one decimal place for 

convenience. Annual changes: Percent change is calculated using annual indexes to three decimal places.

(6) Unit nonlabor costs include consumption of fixed capital, taxes on production and imports less 

subsidies, net interest and miscellaneous payments, and business current transfer payments. 

(7) Total unit costs are the sum of unit labor and nonlabor costs.

(8) Unit profits include corporate profits before tax with inventory valuation and capital consumption 

adjustments.
