PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS BY INDUSTRY:
MANUFACTURING AND MINING INDUSTRIES, 2014
Labor productivity - defined as output per hour - rose in about three-quarters of detailed manufacturing
and mining industries covered in 2014, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. This was higher
than 2013, when labor productivity rose in about 60 percent of the covered industries. Output and hours
also increased in more industries in 2014 than in the previous year. Unit labor costs, which reflect
the total labor costs required to produce a unit of output, declined in 53 percent of manufacturing
industries and three out of four mining industries in 2014. Almost two-thirds of industries with
productivity increases posted declines in unit labor costs.
Oil and gas extraction recorded the largest increase in labor productivity in 2014, followed by textile and
fabric finishing and coating mills, and semiconductors and electronic components. The largest decline in
productivity was in glass and glass products.
************************************************************************************************************
* 2014 measures available for selected industries *
* *
* Labor productivity and related measures are being released through 2014 for a group of 57 detailed *
* manufacturing industries and four detailed mining industries. These measures are based on trends in *
* production and wages. Labor productivity measures for all other detailed manufacturing and mining *
* industries are being released through 2013. *
************************************************************************************************************
Labor Productivity and Unit Labor Costs, 2014
Manufacturing: Labor productivity increased in 19 of the 21 NAICS 3-digit manufacturing industries in
2014, as output increased in 19 industries and hours fell in 8 industries. Productivity rose fastest in
leather and allied product manufacturing, where output increased slightly while hours declined.
Of the 21 industries, 14 registered greater productivity growth or smaller productivity declines than in
the previous year.
Mining: Labor productivity increased in three of the four NAICS 4-digit mining industries covered in
2014. Oil and gas extraction experienced the largest gain in productivity, spurred by output growth of
13 percent. Only nonmetallic mineral mining and quarrying recorded an increase in hours that was
greater than that of output, causing productivity to decline. Productivity growth was less in 2014 than
2013 for each of these four mining industries.
Productivity Trends in Selected Time Periods
During the 1987-2013 period, productivity rose in all but four manufacturing and mining industries,
with median productivity growth of approximately 2 percent per year. Productivity growth in this
period was associated with rising output in many manufacturing and mining industries, while hours
increased in relatively few. In most industries, productivity advanced as output was produced with
fewer hours.
Productivity also increased in a majority of industries between 2007 and 2013, despite the fact that the
period encompassed a severe recession. However, only one quarter of manufacturing and mining
industries saw increases in output, while even fewer experienced growth in hours.
In 2013, productivity rose in about 57 percent of manufacturing and mining industries. Output increased
in about two-thirds of the industries, while hours rose in fewer than half the industries.
Additional Information
This release updates productivity measures to 2014 for all 21 NAICS 3-digit and for 57 of the
86 NAICS 4-digit manufacturing industries. Additionally, productivity measures for all 86
NAICS 4-digit manufacturing industries have been updated through 2013. Output estimates
for 2014 are based on trends in industrial production from the Federal Reserve Board and on
trends from the manufacturers’ shipments, inventories, and orders (M3) survey from the U.S.
Census Bureau, along with data on price changes from BLS. Labor compensation in 2014 is
based on trends in industry wages from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages
(QCEW). Data in this release for 2013 and 2014 are preliminary and subject to revision.
For the first time, the industries included in this news release are classified according to the 2012
NAICS. Indexes have been rebased from 2002=100 to 2007=100 starting with this release.
While the rates of change reported by BLS in this release are rounded to one decimal place, all
percent changes are calculated using index numbers rounded to three decimal places.
Year-to-year movements in industry productivity may be erratic, particularly in smaller
industries. The annual measures based on sample data may differ from measures generated by a
census of establishments in the industry. Annual changes in an industry’s output and use of labor
may reflect cyclical changes in the economy as well as long-term trends. As a result, long-term
productivity trends tend to be more reliable indicators of industry performance than year-to-year
changes.

Technical Note
Labor Productivity: Labor productivity describes the relationship between real output and the
labor hours involved in its production. These measures show the changes from period to period in
the amount of goods and services produced per hour worked. Although the labor productivity
measures relate output in an industry to hours worked of all persons in that industry, they do not
measure the specific contribution of labor to growth in output. Rather, they reflect the joint
effects of many influences, including changes in technology; capital investment; utilization of
capacity, energy, and materials; the use of purchased services inputs, including contract
employment services; the organization of production; managerial skill; in addition to the
characteristics and effort of the workforce.
Unit Labor Costs: Unit labor costs represent the cost of labor required to produce one unit of
output. The unit labor cost indexes are computed by dividing an index of nominal industry labor
compensation by an index of real industry output. Unit labor costs also describe the relationship
between compensation per hour and real output per hour (labor productivity). Increases in hourly
compensation increase unit labor costs; increases in labor productivity offset compensation
increases and lower unit labor costs.
Output: Industry output is measured as an annual-weighted index of the changes in the various
products (in real terms) provided for sale outside the industry. Real industry output is usually
derived by deflating nominal sales or values of production using BLS price indexes, but for some
industries it is measured by physical quantities of output. Industry output reflects sectoral value of
production, derived by adjusting shipments for changes in inventories and removing intra-industry
transactions. Industry output measures are constructed primarily using data from the economic
censuses and annual surveys of the Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce, together with
data on price changes primarily from BLS. New with this update, data from the Bureau of
Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, is utilized in part to construct intra-industry
transactions. Advance industry output for 2014 is constructed with data on industrial production
from the Federal Reserve and manufacturers’ shipments, inventories, and orders from the Census
Bureau. Other data sources include the Energy Information Administration, U.S. Department of
Energy; and the U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Department of Interior.
Labor Hours: Labor hours reflect annual hours worked by all employed persons in an industry.
Data on industry employment and hours come primarily from the BLS Current Employment
Statistics (CES) survey and Current Population Survey (CPS). CES data on the number of total
and production worker jobs held by wage and salary workers in nonfarm establishments are
supplemented with CPS self-employed and unpaid family worker data to estimate industry
employment. Hours worked estimates are derived using CES and CPS employment, CES data on
the average weekly hours paid of production workers, CPS data on hours of nonproduction, self-
employed, and unpaid family workers, and ratios of hours worked to hours paid based on data
from the National Compensation Survey (NCS). For some industries, employment and hours data
are supplemented or further disaggregated using data from the BLS Quarterly Census of
Employment and Wages (QCEW), the Census Bureau, or other sources. Hours worked are
estimated separately for different types of workers and then are directly aggregated; no
adjustments for labor composition are made.
Labor Compensation: Labor compensation, defined as payroll plus supplemental payments, is a
measure of the cost to the employer of securing the services of labor. Payroll includes salaries,
wages, commissions, dismissal pay, bonuses, vacation and sick leave pay, and compensation in
kind. Supplemental payments include both legally required expenditures and payments for
voluntary programs. The legally required portion consists primarily of Federal old age and
survivors’ insurance, unemployment compensation, and 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. Industry compensation measures
are constructed primarily using data from the economic censuses and annual surveys of the
Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce. The estimates for 2014 are constructed using
data from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW).
