PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS
Second Quarter 2010, Preliminary
Nonfarm business sector labor productivity decreased at a 0.9 percent
annual rate during the second quarter of 2010, the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics reported today, with output and hours rising 2.6
percent and 3.6 percent, respectively. (All quarterly percent changes
in this release are seasonally adjusted annual rates.) The decline in
output per hour follows five quarters of strong productivity growth.
The second-quarter gain in hours worked was the largest since the
first quarter of 2006 when hours rose 4.1 percent. From the second
quarter of 2009 to the second quarter of 2010, both productivity and
output increased 3.9 percent; hours were unchanged (tables A and 2).
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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Data in this release reflect the regular multi-year 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, 2010.
See Revised Measures. The presentation of the data in tables 1-6 has
been reformatted, with the first panel displaying percent changes from
the previous quarter, the second displaying percent changes from the
corresponding quarter of the previous year, and the third displaying
indexes. The index series have been rebased from 1992=100 to 2005=100.
Data are presented in reverse chronological order.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unit labor costs in nonfarm businesses edged up 0.2 percent in the
second quarter of 2010, the result of productivity declining more than
hourly compensation. Over the last four quarters, unit labor costs
fell 2.8 percent as output per hour increased faster than hourly
compensation (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 grew 4.5 percent in the second
quarter of 2010, as output rose 8.3 percent and hours worked increased
3.6 percent. Durable manufacturing sector productivity increased 11.2
percent as the increase in output outpaced the increase in hours. The
reverse was true for nondurable manufacturing industries, where
productivity decreased 2.8 percent, given that the increase in hours
was larger than the increase in output (tables A, 3, 4 and 5).
Unit labor costs in manufacturing declined 6.1 percent in the second
quarter of 2010 and fell 6.9 percent over the last four quarters
(tables A and 3). The four-quarter decline was the largest in the
series, which begins in the first quarter of 1988.
The data sources and methods used in the preparation of the
manufacturing output series differ from those used in preparing the
business and nonfarm business output series, and these measures are
not directly comparable. See Technical Notes for further information
on data sources.
Nonfinancial corporate sector productivity increased 9.1 percent in
the first quarter of 2010 as output and hours rose 11.4 percent and
2.1 percent, respectively (tables D and 6).
Revised measures
Measures of output for the business and nonfarm business sectors and
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. These revisions begin
in the first quarter of 2007. Output measures for all manufacturing
sectors reflect historically revised indexes of industrial production
released by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on
June 25. Hours measures for all sectors were revised for 2003 forward
to include revised NIPA data on employment in government enterprises
and the proportion of total compensation paid to employees of
corporations, in addition to 2007 U.S. Census Bureau data on
employment in tax-exempt organizations. Table B presents previous and
revised productivity and related measures for the business, nonfarm
business and manufacturing sectors for the first quarter of 2010 and
table C presents annual data for nonfarm business and total
manufacturing from 2007 to 2009. Revised quarterly and annual series
for recent years appear in tables 1-6 and in appendix tables 1-6. Full
historical annual and quarterly measures can be found on the
productivity and costs home page http://www.bls.gov/lpc/#data.
In the first quarter of 2010, nonfarm business productivity growth was
revised up to 3.9 percent from 2.8 percent, reflecting an upward
revision to output as hours rose at the same 1.1 percent rate reported
previously. Unit labor costs fell 3.7 percent in the first quarter, a
larger decline than reported June 3. In the manufacturing sector,
productivity growth in the first quarter was revised down to 1.2
percent from 1.5 percent. Unit labor costs declined 6.2 percent rather
than falling 1.5 percent as previously reported, reflecting a 5.0
percentage point downward revision to hourly compensation.
For the year 2009, nonfarm business productivity growth was revised
down to 3.5 percent from the 3.7 percent increase reported June 3, the
result of a small downward revision to output and a small upward
revision to hours (table C). Unit labor costs declined less than
previously reported. Small revisions to nonfarm business output, hours
and unit labor costs did not alter the fact that these three measures
displayed the largest annual declines since the series began in 1948.
In manufacturing, productivity growth was revised up slightly to 2.0
percent, as output was revised up and hours were not revised. The
decreases in manufacturing output (-10.9 percent) and hours (-12.6
percent) were the largest in the series, which extend back to 1988.
The largest revisions to annual data occur in 2008. In both nonfarm
business and manufacturing, productivity growth was revised down along
with output; hours were not revised. The 0.7 percent decrease in
manufacturing productivity was the only annual productivity decline in
the series, which begins in 1988. Also in both sectors, unit labor
costs were revised up due to the combined effect of downward revisions
to productivity and small upward revisions to hourly compensation. The
increase in manufacturing unit labor costs (4.6 percent) was the
largest in the series, which begins in 1988.
For the year 2007, nonfarm business productivity was revised down to
1.6 percent from 1.8 percent as output was revised down. Unit labor
costs were revised up slightly. In manufacturing, productivity, hours
and output changed at the same rate previously reported. Hourly
compensation rose 1.0 percentage point less than previously reported,
resulting in a similar downward revision to unit labor costs.
As revised, nonfarm business productivity increased at an average
annual rate of 2.5 percent from 2000 to 2009 rather than the 2.7
percent rate reported previously. Manufacturing productivity grew at
an annual average rate of 3.0 percent from 2000 to 2009, revised down
from 3.2 percent.
In the nonfinancial corporate sector, revisions to output, hours and
compensation affected productivity and unit labor costs for 2007
forward. For the year 2009, productivity was revised downward to 1.6
percent due to a downward revision in output (table D). In 2008
productivity was revised up 0.5 percentage point as output was revised
by the same amount. In 2007 productivity was revised down to 0.6
percent from 1.0 percent as a downward revision to output combined
with an upward revision to hours (table 6 and appendix table 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 75 percent of the value of GDP in 2009. Nonfarm business,
which excludes farming, accounted for about 74 percent of GDP in 2009.
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 47 percent of the value
of GDP in 2009.
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 index number series where 2005=100,
as percent changes from the corresponding quarter of the previous year,
and as percent changes from the previous quarter presented at a compound
annual rate. 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,
http://www.bls.gov/data/home.htm, or by contacting the BLS Division of
Major Sector Productivity. (Telephone 202-691-5606 or email

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. Compensation and hours 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 2010.

(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

annual average 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.
