                         PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS
                   Second Quarter 2017, Preliminary

Nonfarm business sector labor productivity increased 0.9 percent during the 
second quarter of 2017, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today,
as output increased 3.4 percent and hours worked increased 2.5 percent. (All 
quarterly percent changes in this release are seasonally adjusted annual 
rates.) From the second quarter of 2016 to the second quarter of 2017, 
productivity increased 1.2 percent, reflecting a 2.7-percent increase in 
output and a 1.5-percent increase in hours worked. (See tables A1 and 2.) 

Labor productivity, or output per hour, is calculated by dividing an index of 
real output by an index of hours worked by all persons, including employees, 
proprietors, and unpaid family workers. 

Unit labor costs in the nonfarm business sector increased 0.6 percent in the 
second quarter of 2017, reflecting a 1.6-percent increase in hourly 
compensation and a 0.9-percent increase in productivity. Unit labor costs 
decreased 0.2 percent over the last four quarters. (See tables A1 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 28, 2017. 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 increased 2.5 percent in the second 
quarter of 2017, as output increased 1.6 percent and hours worked decreased 
0.9 percent. Output per hour increased 3.8 percent in the durable goods 
manufacturing sector and edged down 0.1 percent in the nondurable goods 
sector. Over the last four quarters, manufacturing sector productivity 
increased 1.0 percent, as output increased 1.5 percent and hours worked 
increased 0.4 percent. (See tables A1, 3, 4 and 5.)  Unit labor costs in 
manufacturing decreased 0.3 percent in the second quarter of 2017 and rose 0.1 
percent from the same quarter a year ago. 

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 for first-quarter 
2014 through first-quarter 2017 released on July 28 by the Bureau of Economic 
Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce. Measures of output for the 
manufacturing sectors incorporate regular updates of source data for the first
quarter of 2017 and the fourth quarter of 2016. Hours and related measures 
were revised back to 2012 for the business and nonfarm business sectors due to
revised NIPA data on government enterprises employment and on the proportion
of sector compensation paid to employees of nonprofit institutions. Hours and
related measures were revised back to 2007 for the nonfinancial corporate 
sector due to the incorporation of 2012 Economic Census data on employment and
revised NIPA data on the proportion of sector compensation paid to employees
of corporations. 

Table B1 presents revised and previous labor productivity and related measures 
for the nonfarm business, business, and manufacturing sectors for the first 
quarter of 2017, and table C1 presents annual data for the nonfarm business, 
total manufacturing, and nonfinancial corporate sectors from 2014 to 2016. 
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 nonfinancial corporate sector 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 increased 0.1 percent in the first 
quarter of 2017--similar to the previously reported estimate (0.0 percent)
--the combined effect of a small upward revision to output and a small 
downward revision to hours. (See table B1.) A large upward revision to 
first-quarter unit labor costs--from an increase of 2.2 percent to an increase
of 5.4 percent--reflected a 3.3-percentage point upward revision to hourly 
compensation and a 0.1-pecentage point upward revision to productivity. Real 
hourly compensation increased 2.3 percent after revision, rather than the 
previously published decrease of 0.9 percent.

Annual Average productivity growth in the nonfarm business sector in 2016 was 
revised down to a decrease of 0.1 percent. (See table C1.) As revised, the 
decrease in productivity in 2016 is the first annual decrease since a 1.0-
percent decrease in 1982. In 2015 and 2014, annual productivity growth was 
revised up to increases of 1.3 percent and 1.0 percent, respectively. The 
average annual rate of productivity growth from 2012 to 2016--the period 
affected by the revisions--was unrevised at 0.6 percent per year. Unit labor 
costs increased 1.0 percent in the nonfarm business sector in 2016, rather 
than increasing 2.2 percent, as a 1.6-percentage point downward revision to 
hourly compensation was partially offset by a 0.3-percentage point downward 
revision to productivity. As revised, hourly compensation increased 0.9 
percent in the nonfarm business sector, the smallest increase in the series 
which begins in 1947. Real hourly compensation declined 0.4 percent in 2016 
rather than increasing 1.2 percent. There were small upward revisions to 
hourly compensation and real hourly compensation in 2014 and 2015.

Manufacturing sector productivity increased 0.3 percent in the first quarter 
of 2017--slightly less than previously reported. Productivity decreased 0.9 
percent in the durable goods sector and increased 2.6 percent in the 
nondurable goods sector. (See table B1.) Unit labor costs increased 3.9 
percent in the manufacturing sector rather than increasing 2.4 percent as 
reported June 5, reflecting both a small downward revision to productivity and 
a 1.3-percentage point upward revision to hourly compensation. Real hourly 
compensation increased 1.0 percent, as revised.
        
Annual average manufacturing productivity grew 0.2 percent in 2016, unrevised 
from the previously reported estimate. Productivity was unrevised in the 
manufacturing sector in 2015 and 2014. Unit labor costs was revised down to 
an increase of 0.6 percent in 2016, reflecting a 1.9-percentage point 
downward revision to hourly compensation. After revision, manufacturing real 
hourly compensation declined 0.5 percent in 2016 rather than increasing 1.3 
percent. (See tables C1, 3, 4, and 5.) 

Nonfinancial corporate sector productivity growth was revised up in the first 
quarter of 2017, to an increase of 2.0 percent, rather than the previously 
published decrease of 1.5 percent; this revision was due solely to a 3.5-
percentage point upward revision to output; hours were unrevised. (See table 
A2.) 

Annual average productivity in the nonfinancial corporate sector decreased 0.1 
percent in 2016, a downward revision from the previously reported 0.4-percent 
increase. This measure was revised up 0.6 percentage point in 2015 to an 
increase of 1.4 percent, and was revised up 1.0 percentage point in 2014 to an 
increase of 1.3 percent. (See tables C1 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 worked using data from 
the National Compensation Survey (NCS) for 1996 forward and data from the BLS 
Hours at Work survey, conducted for this purpose, prior to 1990. Between 1990 
and 1995, weekly paid hours are adjusted to hours at work using a combination 
of NCS and Hours at Work survey data. 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 appropriate 
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 
hours. Business output accounted for about 75 percent of the value of GDP in 
2016. Nonfarm business, which excludes farming, also accounted for about 75 
percent of GDP in 2016.

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 2016. 
     
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 employees in domestic industries 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 
productivity@bls.gov).

For a more detailed explanation of methodology see "Technical Information 
About the Major Sector Productivity and Costs Methods" at

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 -1.5 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 2017.

(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 1978-2016 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.
