PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS BY INDUSTRY:
MANUFACTURING AND MINING INDUSTRIES -- 2016

Labor productivity rose in 31 of the 90 NAICS 4-digit manufacturing and mining industries in 2016, the U.S. 
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. This was fewer than in 2015 when labor productivity rose in 41 
industries. Output and hours worked also increased in fewer industries in 2016 than in the previous year.
Unit labor costs, which reflect the total labor costs required to produce a unit of output, rose in 64 of the 86 
NAICS 4-digit manufacturing industries and in 1 of the 4 mining industries. Eighteen industries with 
productivity increases recorded declines in unit labor costs.

Trends in Labor Productivity in 2016

Manufacturing
*	Labor productivity increased in 5 of the 21 NAICS 3-digit manufacturing industries in 2016, 
as output increased in only 2 industries, and hours worked rose in 11 industries.
*	Labor productivity increased in 27 of the 86 NAICS 4-digit manufacturing industries in 2016, 
as output increased in 31 industries, and hours worked fell in 44 industries.
*	Productivity rose fastest in the agricultural chemicals industry, where output increased by 7.7 
percent and hours worked declined 5.9 percent.

Mining
*	Labor productivity increased in both measured NAICS 3-digit mining industries in 2016. 
Productivity rose 5.4 percent in oil and gas extraction and rose 4.3 percent in mining, except 
oil and gas. Both industries saw output decline less than hours worked. 
*	Productivity increased in all 4 of the NAICS 4-digit mining industries measured. Output fell 
in 3 of the industries, but hours worked declined at an even greater rate. 

Trends in Unit Labor Costs in 2016

Manufacturing
*	Employers face increased unit labor costs when hourly compensation gains outpace 
productivity. For NAICS 3-digit industries, unit labor costs increased in 18 of the 21 
manufacturing industries.
*	Of the 64 NAICS 4-digit manufacturing industries that had increases in unit labor costs, 
productivity growth was negative in almost four-fifths of them.

Mining
*	Unit labor costs declined in both measured NAICS 3-digit mining industries as productivity 
growth outpaced hourly compensation growth.
*	Unit labor costs fell in 3 of the 4 NAICS 4-digit mining industries measured, all 3 of which 
posted declining hourly compensation and increasing labor productivity. The only industry 
with an increase in unit labor costs was nonmetallic mineral mining and quarrying, which 
had more growth in hourly compensation than in productivity.

Long-term trends in Labor Productivity and Unit Labor Costs 

Over the entire 1987-2016 period, labor productivity rose in 85 of the 90 manufacturing and 
mining industries measured. 
*	Productivity growth in the 1987-2016 period was associated with output rising in 59 
manufacturing and mining industries, while hours worked increased in only 13.
*	Productivity increased in 48 industries in the more recent 2007-2016 period that 
included a severe recession. 
*	The 2007-2016 productivity increases are predominantly the result of a decline in hours 
worked, rather than an increase in output, as 72 industries experienced decreasing hours 
worked in this period compared to 19 industries that documented increasing output. 

From 1987 to 2016, unit labor costs increased in 79 of the 90 manufacturing and mining industries.
*	Among the NAICS 4-digit industries, unit labor costs fell in 11 of the 86 manufacturing 
industries from 1987 to 2016. None of the 4 mining industries saw declines in unit labor costs.
*	From 2007 to 2016, unit labor costs decreased in 10 of the 86 manufacturing industries. 
Computer and peripheral equipment was the only industry with declines in both labor 
productivity and unit labor costs, as hourly compensation fell faster than productivity. In mining, 
oil and gas extraction saw a decline in unit labor costs while the other 3 industries had gains.

Computer and peripheral equipment had the largest productivity gains and the largest unit labor cost 
declines during the 1987 to 2007 period, as well as for the whole 1987 to 2016 interval. However, 
between 2007 and 2016, magnetic media manufacturing and reproducing posted the greatest 
productivity growth, while leather and hide tanning and finishing saw the sharpest drop in unit labor 
costs.

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; the characteristics and effort of the workforce; and managerial skill. 

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 worked (hourly compensation) and real output per hour worked (labor productivity). When 
hourly compensation growth outpaces productivity, unit labor costs increase. Alternatively, when 
productivity growth exceeds hourly compensation, unit labor costs decrease. 

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. Data 
from the Bureau of Economic Analysis at the U.S. Department of Commerce is used in part to construct 
intra-industry transactions. Other data sources include the Energy Information Administration at the 
U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Geological Survey at the U.S. Department of the Interior. 
Manufacturing industry output for 2016 is constructed with data on industrial production from the 
Federal Reserve and BLS price indexes.

Labor Hours: Labor hours are measured as 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 data on self-employed and unpaid family workers 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 BLS QCEW and the economic censuses of the Census Bureau at the U.S. Department of Commerce.
