                           PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS
                    Second Quarter 2016, Preliminary
                        
                        
Nonfarm business sector labor productivity decreased at a 0.5-percent annual 
rate during the second quarter of 2016, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 
reported today, as output increased 1.2 percent and hours worked increased
1.8 percent. (All quarterly percent changes in this release are seasonally 
adjusted annual rates.) From the second quarter of 2015 to the second quarter 
of 2016, productivity decreased 0.4 percent, the first four-quarter decline 
in the series since a 0.6-percent decrease in the second quarter of 2013. 
(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.  

Unit labor costs in the nonfarm business sector increased 2.0 percent in the 
second quarter of 2016, reflecting a 1.5-percent increase in hourly 
compensation and a 0.5-percent decline in productivity. Unit labor costs 
increased 2.1 percent over the last four quarters. (See tables A and 2.) 

=============================================================================
          Historical Revisions to Productivity and Costs Data
          
Data in this release reflect revisions to the National Income and Product 
Accounts (NIPA) released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the U.S. 
Department of Commerce on July 29, 2016. See “Revised measures” section.
=============================================================================

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 labor productivity decreased 0.2 percent in the second 
quarter of 2016, as output and hours worked decreased 0.8 percent and 0.7 
percent, respectively. Output per hour increased 2.6 percent in the durable 
goods manufacturing sector reflecting a 2.0-percent decline in hours worked 
and a 0.5-percent increase in output. Productivity decreased 4.1 percent in 
the nondurable goods sector in the second quarter of 2016, following a 4.0-
percent first-quarter increase. Over the last four quarters, manufacturing 
productivity increased 0.9 percent, as output increased 0.3 percent and hours 
declined 0.6 percent. (See tables A, 3, 4, and 5.)  Unit labor costs in 
manufacturing increased 3.1 percent in the second quarter of 2016 and rose 1.7 
percent from the same quarter a year ago. Hourly compensation increased 2.9 
percent in the second quarter of 2016. 

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 the Technical Notes for 
a more detailed explanation. 

Revised measures

Measures of output for the business, nonfarm business, and nonfinancial 
corporate sectors, and measures of compensation for all sectors incorporate 
revised National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) data released on July 29 
by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce. Hours and 
related measures were revised back to 2007 for the business, nonfarm business,
and nonfinancial corporate sectors. These revisions were due to the 
incorporation of 2012 Economic Census data on employment, as well as revised 
NIPA data on government enterprises employment and the proportion of sector
compensation paid to employees of nonprofit institutions and nonfinancial
corporations. Measures of manufacturing output and all related measures were
revised back to 1987 to reflect revised output indexes constructed by the BLS
using data from the U.S. Department of Commerce.  

Table B presents revised and previous productivity and related measures for 
the nonfarm business, business, and manufacturing sectors for the first 
quarter of 2016, and table C presents annual data for nonfarm business and 
total manufacturing from 2013 to 2015. Revised quarterly and annual series for 
all sectors in recent years appear in tables 1-6 and appendix tables 1-6. 
Indexes of all hours-related measures in the business, nonfarm business, and 
nonfinancial corporate sectors show historical revisions because hours in the 
base year of 2009 were revised; resulting revisions to percent changes are 
small. Complete annual and quarterly data series can be found on the 
Productivity and Costs home page: www.bls.gov/lpc/#data.

Nonfarm business sector productivity decreased 0.6 percent in the first 
quarter of 2016--the same as the preliminary estimate--as a small downward 
revision to output was offset by a small downward revision to hours. Due to a 
4.7-percentage point downward revision to first-quarter hourly compensation, 
unit labor costs decreased 0.2 percent in the first quarter of 2016, rather 
than increasing 4.5 percent as reported June 7. Real hourly compensation 
decreased 0.4 percent after revision, rather than the previously-published 
increase of 4.2 percent.

Annual Average productivity growth in the nonfarm business sector in 2015 was 
revised up to an increase of 0.9 percent. (See table C.) Productivity growth 
was unrevised in 2014 at 0.8 percent, and was revised up to an increase of 0.3 
percent in 2013. The average annual rate of productivity growth from 2007 to 
2015--the period affected by the revisions--was revised up from 1.2 percent to 
1.3 percent per year, but still remains well below the long-term rate from 
1947 to 2015 of 2.2 percent per year.  

Manufacturing sector productivity increased 1.5 percent in the first quarter 
of 2016--slightly more than previously reported--reflecting both a small 
downward revision to hours and a small upward revision to output. Productivity 
decreased 0.2 percent in the durable goods sector and increased 4.0 percent in 
the nondurable goods sector. Unit labor costs decreased 5.9 percent in the 
manufacturing sector rather than increasing 1.1 percent as reported June 7, 
due to both the upward revision to productivity and a 7.1-percentage point 
downward revision to hourly compensation. Real hourly compensation decreased 
4.3 percent, as revised.
        
Annual average manufacturing productivity grew 0.3 percent in 2015, slightly 
more than the previous estimate of 0.2 percent. Unit labor costs increased 
2.2 percent, as revised. There were also historical revisions to 
manufacturing productivity for the complete series, going back to 1987. 
Productivity was revised slightly up in 2014 to an increase of 0.1 percent, 
and was revised down 0.5 percentage point to an increase of 0.2 percent in 
2013. (See tables C, 3, 4, and 5.) Average annual productivity from 1987 to 
2015 increased 3.3 percent, the same rate as was previously reported. 

Nonfinancial corporate sector productivity growth was revised down in the 
first quarter of 2016, to an increase of 1.4 percent, rather than the 
previously-published increase of 2.5 percent; this revision was mainly due to 
a downward revision to output. Annual average productivity in the nonfinancial 
corporate sector increased 0.9 percent in 2015, the same rate as was 
previously reported. This measure was revised up 0.7 percentage point in 2014 
to an increase of 1.2 percent, and was revised down slightly in 2013 to an 
increase of 0.8 percent. (See tables D and 6.)

				  TECHNICAL NOTES  

Labor Hours  

Hours data for the labor productivity and cost measures include hours worked
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 
2015. Nonfarm business, which excludes farming, accounted for about 75 
percent of GDP in 2015.

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 
50 percent of the value of GDP in 2015.
     
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. A complete historical series of 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 1.4 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 2016.
            
      			       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 1978-2015 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.
