Total Factor Productivity Releases
The BLS Productivity program replaced the term multifactor productivity (MFP) with total factor productivity (TFP) with the Total Factor Productivity Trends for Major Industries release on November 18, 2021. This is a change in terminology only and does not affect the data or methodology. The use of the term total factor productivity improves the visibility and accessibility of our data and is accompanied by changes to the BLS website and future productivity news releases.
