                        PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS
                  Second Quarter 2014, Preliminary
                
                
Nonfarm business sector labor productivity increased at a 2.5 percent annual 
rate during the second quarter of 2014, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 
reported today, as hours increased 2.7 percent and output increased 5.2 
percent. (All quarterly percent changes in this release are seasonally 
adjusted annual rates.) From the second quarter of 2013 to the second quarter
of 2014, productivity increased 1.2 percent as output and hours worked rose
3.2 percent and 2.0 percent, respectively. (See table A.) 

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.

        Historical Revisions to Productivity and Costs Data
        
Data in this release reflect the comprehensive 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, 2014. See Revised
measures section.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unit labor costs in nonfarm businesses increased 0.6 percent in the second
quarter of 2014, as the 3.1 percent increase in hourly compensation was 
larger than the increase in productivity. Unit labor costs increased 1.9 
percent over the last four quarters. (See 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 increased 3.6 percent in the second quarter 
of 2014, as output increased 7.0 percent and hours worked increased 3.2 
percent. Productivity increased 2.9 percent in the durable goods sector and 
increased 5.9 percent in the nondurable goods sector. Over the last four 
quarters, manufacturing productivity increased 2.1 percent, as output 
increased 3.7 percent and hours increased 1.5 percent. Unit labor costs in
manufacturing decreased 1.3 percent in the second quarter of 2014 and 
increased 0.8 percent 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

Output and related measures--including productivity and unit labor costs--in
the business and nonfarm business sectors were subject to revision for the 
entire series going back to 1947. The most notable revisions in these series
are generally limited to the period from 2010 onward. Hourly compensation and
related measures for all sectors were subject to revision back to 2010. 
Measures of output for the business and nonfarm business sectors and measures
of 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. Hours were revised for the business and
nonfarm business sectors for 2010 forward to include revised NIPA data on 
government enterprises and to incorporate revised NIPA data on the proportion
of sector compensation paid to employees of nonprofit institutions. 

Table B presents revised and previous productivity and related measures for 
the nonfarm business, business, and manufacturing sectors for the first 
quarter of 2014 and table C presents annual data for nonfarm business and 
total manufacturing from 2011 to 2013. Revised quarterly and annual series
for recent years appear in tables 1-6 for all sectors and annual indexes for
all years appear in appendix tables 1-3 for business, nonfarm business, and 
nonfinancial corporate sectors. Full historical annual and quarterly measures
can be found on the productivity and costs home page: www.bls.gov/lpc/#data.

In the first quarter of 2014, nonfarm business productivity decreased 4.5 
percent--rather than falling 3.2 percent as reported June 4--reflecting a
downward revision to output which was larger than a small downward revision
to hours. This decline in productivity was the largest since the fourth 
quarter of 1981, when productivity decreased 4.7 percent.  Unit labor costs 
rose 11.8 percent in the first quarter of 2014--more than double the 
previously reported rate--due to both the downward revision to productivity
and an upward revision to hourly compensation.  Real hourly compensation 
increased 4.8 percent after revision, rather than the previous estimate of
0.4 percent.  In the manufacturing sector, productivity growth in the first 
quarter was 3.2 percent, as output growth was revised down and hours were not
revised. Unit labor costs increased 5.0 percent, rather than falling 0.4 
percent as previously reported, due to both the downward revision to 
productivity and an upward revision to hourly compensation.

Annual Average productivity growth for 2013 in the nonfarm business sector
was revised up to 0.9 percent from a previous estimate of 0.5 percent due to
an upward revision to output. (See table C). Unit labor costs increased 0.2 
percent, less than the 1.1 percent gain reported June 4.  Productivity was 
revised down in both 2012 and 2011, to increases of 1.0 percent and 0.1 
percent in those years, respectively. Growth in unit labor costs was revised
up from 1.2 percent to 1.7 percent in 2012, and from 2.0 percent to 2.1
percent in 2011.  

In the manufacturing sector, annual average productivity growth was not 
revised. Unit labor costs declined 1.6 percent in 2013, rather than 1.3
percent as previously reported. In 2012, unit labor costs fell 0.2 percent
after revision, and in 2011 increased 0.8 percent rather than the previous
estimate of 0.4 percent. 

Nonfinancial corporate sector output and related measures were subject to
revision for the entire series going back to 1947, and hourly compensation
and related measures were revised back to 2010. First-quarter 2014 
productivity growth was revised up to a decline of 0.9 percent; the revision
was due solely to an upward revision to output. Annual average productivity in
2013 and 2012 grew more than previously reported--reflecting upward revisions 
to output in both years, and in 2011 a downward revision to productivity was 
due to a downward revision to output. (See tables D and 6.)

			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 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 
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 49 percent of the value 
of GDP in 2013.
     
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 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 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.

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 -1.7 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 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.
