PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS

Second Quarter 2010, Preliminary 

Nonfarm business sector labor productivity decreased at a 0.9 percent annual rate during the second 

quarter of 2010, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today, with output and hours rising 2.6 

percent and 3.6 percent, respectively. (All quarterly percent changes in this release are seasonally 

adjusted annual rates.) The decline in output per hour follows five quarters of strong productivity 

growth. The second-quarter gain in hours worked was the largest since the first quarter of 2006 when 

hours rose 4.1 percent. From the second quarter of 2009 to the second quarter of 2010, both productivity 

and output increased 3.9 percent; hours were unchanged (chart 1, tables A and 2). 

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. 

Data in this release reflect the regular multi-year revision to the National Income and Product Accounts 

(NIPA) released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the U.S. Department of Commerce on July 30, 

2010. See Revised Measures (page 2). The presentation of the data in tables 1-6 has been reformatted, 

with the first panel displaying percent changes from the previous quarter, the second displaying percent 

changes from the corresponding quarter of the previous year, and the third displaying indexes. The index 

series have been rebased from 1992=100 to 2005=100. Data are presented in reverse chronological 

order.

-2- 

Unit labor costs in nonfarm businesses edged up 0.2 percent in the second quarter of 2010, the result 

of productivity declining more than hourly compensation. Over the last four quarters, unit labor costs 

fell 2.8 percent as output per hour increased faster than hourly compensation (chart 2, tables A and 2). 

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. 

Manufacturing sector productivity grew 4.5 percent in the second quarter of 2010, as output rose 8.3 

percent and hours worked increased 3.6 percent. Durable manufacturing sector productivity increased 

11.2 percent as the increase in output outpaced the increase in hours. The reverse was true for 

nondurable manufacturing industries, where productivity decreased 2.8 percent, given that the increase 

in hours was larger than the increase in output (tables A, 3, 4 and 5). 

Unit labor costs in manufacturing declined 6.1 percent in the second quarter of 2010 and fell 6.9 

percent over the last four quarters (tables A and 3). The four-quarter decline was the largest in the series, 

which begins in the first quarter of 1988. 

The data sources and methods used in the preparation of the manufacturing output series differ from 

those used in preparing the business and nonfarm business output series, and these measures are not 

directly comparable. See Technical Notes for further information on data sources (page 6). 

Nonfinancial corporate sector productivity increased 9.1 percent in the first quarter of 2010 as output 

and hours rose 11.4 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively (tables D and 6). 

Revised measures 

Measures of output for the business and nonfarm business sectors and compensation for all sectors 

incorporate the revised National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) data released on July 30 by the 

Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce. These revisions begin in the first quarter 

of 2007. Output measures for all manufacturing sectors reflect historically revised indexes of industrial 

production released by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on June 25. Hours 

measures for all sectors were revised for 2003 forward to include revised NIPA data on employment in 

government enterprises and the proportion of total compensation paid to employees of corporations, in 

addition to 2007 U.S. Census Bureau data on employment in tax-exempt organizations. Table B presents 

previous and revised productivity and related measures for the business, nonfarm business and 

manufacturing sectors for the first quarter of 2010 and table C presents annual data for nonfarm business 

and total manufacturing from 2007 to 2009. Revised quarterly and annual series for recent years appear 

in tables 1-6 and in appendix tables 1-6. Full historical annual and quarterly measures can be found on 

the productivity and costs home page http://www.bls.gov/lpc/#data. 

In the first quarter of 2010, nonfarm business productivity growth was revised up to 3.9 percent from 

2.8 percent, reflecting an upward revision to output as hours rose at the same 1.1 percent rate reported 

previously. Unit labor costs fell 3.7 percent in the first quarter, a larger decline than reported June 3. In 

the manufacturing sector, productivity growth in the first quarter was revised down to 1.2 percent from 

1.5 percent. Unit labor costs declined 6.2 percent rather than falling 1.5 percent as previously reported, 

reflecting a 5.0 percentage point downward revision to hourly compensation. 
-3- 

For the year 2009, nonfarm business productivity growth was revised down to 3.5 percent from the 3.7 

percent increase reported June 3, the result of a small downward revision to output and a small upward 

revision to hours (table C). Unit labor costs declined less than previously reported. Small revisions to 

nonfarm business output, hours and unit labor costs did not alter the fact that these three measures 

displayed the largest annual declines since the series began in 1948. In manufacturing, productivity 

growth was revised up slightly to 2.0 percent, as output was revised up and hours were not revised. The 

decreases in manufacturing output (-10.9 percent) and hours (-12.6 percent) were the largest in the 

series, which extend back to 1988. 

The largest revisions to annual data occur in 2008. In both nonfarm business and manufacturing, 

productivity growth was revised down along with output; hours were not revised. The 0.7 percent 

decrease in manufacturing productivity was the only annual productivity decline in the series, which 

begins in 1988. Also in both sectors, unit labor costs were revised up due to the combined effect of 

downward revisions to productivity and small upward revisions to hourly compensation. The increase in 

manufacturing unit labor costs (4.6 percent) was the largest in the series, which begins in 1988. 

For the year 2007, nonfarm business productivity was revised down to 1.6 percent from 1.8 percent as 

output was revised down. Unit labor costs were revised up slightly. In manufacturing, productivity, 

hours and output changed at the same rate previously reported. Hourly compensation rose 1.0 percentage 

point less than previously reported, resulting in a similar downward revision to unit labor costs. 

As revised, nonfarm business productivity increased at an average annual rate of 2.5 percent from 2000 

to 2009 rather than the 2.7 percent rate reported previously. Manufacturing productivity grew at an 

annual average rate of 3.0 percent from 2000 to 2009, revised down from 3.2 percent. 

In the nonfinancial corporate sector, revisions to output, hours and compensation affected productivity 

and unit labor costs for 2007 forward. For the year 2009, productivity was revised downward to 1.6 

percent due to a downward revision in output (table D). In 2008 productivity was revised up 0.5 

percentage point as output was revised by the same amount. In 2007 productivity was revised down to 

0.6 percent from 1.0 percent as a downward revision to output combined with an upward revision to 

hours (table 6 and appendix table 6).

The revised Productivity and Costs press release for second-quarter 2010 is scheduled to be 

released on Thursday, September 2, 2010 at 8:30 a.m. (EDT).

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 2009. Nonfarm 

business, which excludes farming, accounted for about 74 percent of GDP in 2009.

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 47 percent of the value of GDP in 2009. 

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 
-7- 

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 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 index 

number series where 2005=100, as percent changes from the corresponding quarter of the previous year, 

and as percent changes from the previous quarter presented at a compound annual rate. 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, http://www.bls.gov/data/home.htm, or by contacting the BLS Division of Major Sector 

Productivity. (Telephone 202-691-5606 or email DPRWEB@BLS.GOV)

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. Compensation and hours 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 –1.7 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 first quarter of 2010.

Footnotes, Tables 1-6

(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 1978-2009 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 average 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.
