PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS
Fourth Quarter and Annual Averages 2014, Revised
Nonfarm business sector labor productivity decreased at a 2.2 percent annual
rate during the fourth quarter of 2014, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today, as output increased 2.6 percent and hours worked increased
4.9 percent. (All quarterly percent changes in this release are seasonally
adjusted annual rates.) From the fourth quarter of 2013 to the fourth
quarter of 2014, productivity decreased 0.1 percent reflecting increases in
output and hours worked of 2.9 percent and 3.0 percent, respectively. (See
table A.) Annual average productivity increased 0.7 percent from 2013 to
2014. (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. Measures released today were based on
more recent source data than were available for the preliminary report.
Unit labor costs in the nonfarm business sector increased 4.1 percent in the
fourth quarter of 2014, reflecting a 1.9 percent increase in hourly
compensation and a 2.2 percent decline in productivity. Unit labor costs
increased 2.6 percent over the last four quarters. (See tables A and 2.)
=============================================================================
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 1-6 and appendix tables 1-6. See Revised measures.
=============================================================================
BLS calculates 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 decreased 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter
of 2014, as output increased 4.3 percent and hours worked increased 4.4
percent. Productivity increased 0.5 percent in the durable manufacturing
sector and decreased 1.5 percent in the nondurable manufacturing sector.
(See tables A, 3, 4, and 5.) Over the last four quarters, manufacturing
productivity increased 2.4 percent, as output increased 4.5 percent and hours
increased 2.0 percent. Unit labor costs in manufacturing increased 1.5
percent in the fourth quarter of 2014 and were unchanged from the same
quarter a year ago. (See 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.
Revised measures
Quarterly and annual measures of hours and related series-including
productivity-were revised back to 1990 for all major sectors. The revisions
incorporate revised Current Employment Statistics (CES) program data
published February 6, 2015. From 2010 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 2010 there were small revisions due to
CES coverage changes affecting two manufacturing 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 2014 were also revised
for regular updates of source data on output and compensation.
Revised and previous measures for the third and fourth quarters of 2014 are
shown in table B for the business, nonfarm business, and manufacturing
sectors. Revised annual average measures for 2010 to 2014 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 2012
through 2014 and in appendix tables 1-6 for 2009 through 2011. Full
historical annual and quarterly measures can be found on the labor
productivity and costs home page at www.bls.gov/lpc/#data.
In the fourth quarter of 2014, nonfarm business productivity decreased 2.2
percent rather than 1.8 percent as reported February 5. The revised figure
reflects a 0.6 percentage point downward revision to output and a 0.2
percentage point downward revision to hours. The 4.9 percent increase in
hours worked remains the largest increase in this series since a gain of 5.7
percent in the fourth quarter of 1998. Unit labor costs increased 4.1
percent, a larger increase than was previously reported.
Manufacturing productivity declined 0.1 percent rather than increasing 1.3
percent, a combination of a downward revision to output and a small upward
revision to hours. This was the first decrease in the productivity measure
since a 1.6 percent decrease in the fourth quarter of 2011. Because the
downward revision to productivity was larger than a downward revision to
hourly compensation, manufacturing unit labor costs increased 1.5 percent,
rather than 0.2 percent as reported in the preliminary release. (See table
B.)
In the third quarter of 2014, nonfarm business productivity growth was
little changed, at 3.9 percent, reflecting a slight downward revision to
hours. Unit labor costs decreased 1.0 percent, as revised, reflecting the
small upward revision to productivity and a 1.5 percentage point upward
revision to hourly compensation. In the manufacturing sector, productivity
increased 3.5 percent rather than 3.2 percent as previously reported. The
revision reflected a small upward revision to output and a small downward
revision to hours. (See table B.) Nonfinancial corporate sector productivity
increased 1.8 percent in the third quarter of 2014. (See table D.)
When the annual average indexes of output per hour are compared, nonfarm
business sector productivity rose 0.7 percent from 2013 to 2014 reflecting
increases of 3.0 percent in output and 2.3 percent in hours worked. The
increase in hours in 2014 was the largest increase in the annual measure
since 1997 (3.5 percent). Since 2010, productivity has increased at an
average annual rate of 0.7 percent, reflecting average annual growth rates
of 2.8 percent in output and 2.1 percent in hours worked. Output per hour
has increased at an average annual rate of 2.1 percent since 1990 as output
increased 2.8 percent and hours increased 0.7 percent. Unit labor costs rose
1.8 percent from 2013 to 2014 in the nonfarm business sector.
In the manufacturing sector, annual average productivity growth was revised
down to 2.2 percent in 2014. Productivity growth over the last four years of
1.5 percent per year on average reflects annual average rates of growth in
output and hours of 3.2 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively. Manufacturing
unit labor costs increased 0.1 percent in 2014 as the 2.2 percent increase
in productivity was outpaced by the 2.3 percent increase in compensation per
hour. Real hourly compensation increased 0.6 percent in 2014, after four
consecutive years of decreases in the measure (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, counting a
person who is employed by two or more establishments at each place of
employment. 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) for 2001 forward and data from the BLS Hours at Work survey,
conducted for this purpose, 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 to estimate hours worked for farm labor,
nonfarm proprietors, and nonfarm unpaid family workers. Using CPS
information on employment and hours worked at primary jobs and all other
jobs, separately, the BLS productivity measures assign all hours worked
to the correct industrial sector. Hours 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.
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 76 percent of the value of GDP in 2013. Nonfarm business, which
excludes farming, accounted for about 74 percent of GDP in 2013.
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 indexes 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.
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 2013.
Labor Productivity: The measure describes the relationship between real
output and the labor time involved in its production. Measures of labor
productivity growth show the changes from period to period in the amount
of goods and services produced per hour worked. 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: These measures describe the relationship between
compensation per hour and labor 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 (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. 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 2014.
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 1978-2013 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.
