PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS
Second Quarter 2015, Preliminary
Nonfarm business sector labor productivity increased at a 1.3 percent annual
rate during the second quarter of 2015, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today, as output increased 2.8 percent and hours worked increased
1.5 percent. (All quarterly percent changes in this release are seasonally
adjusted annual rates.) From the second quarter of 2014 to the second quarter
of 2015, productivity increased 0.3 percent, reflecting increases in output
and hours worked of 2.8 percent and 2.6 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.
Unit labor costs in the nonfarm business sector increased 0.5 percent in the
second quarter of 2015, reflecting a 1.8 percent increase in hourly
compensation and a 1.3 percent increase 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 the 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 30, 2015. 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 2015, as output increased 1.5 percent and hours worked decreased
1.0 percent. Productivity increased 3.4 percent in the durable manufacturing
sector and 1.2 percent in the nondurable goods sector. (See tables A, 3, 4,
and 5.) Over the last four quarters, manufacturing productivity increased 1.1
percent, as output increased 2.3 percent and hours increased 1.2 percent.
Unit labor costs in manufacturing decreased 2.3 percent in the second quarter
of 2015 and increased 0.2 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
Productivity, unit labor costs, and related measures in the business and
nonfarm business sectors were subject to revision going back to 2010, due to
revisions in source data including output, compensation, and hours. 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 to incorporate revised NIPA data on government
enterprises employment and the proportion of sector compensation paid to
employees of nonprofit institutions. Measures of manufacturing output and all
related measures were revised back to 1987 to reflect revised output indexes
constructed by BLS using data from the U.S. Department of Commerce. In
particular, the revisions incorporate data from the 2012 Economic Census as
well as improvements to BLS methodology for estimating annual manufacturing
output. Output data for the manufacturing sector also incorporate
historically revised indexes of industrial production published by the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on July 21.
Table B presents revised and previous productivity and related measures for
the nonfarm business, business, and manufacturing sectors for the first
quarter of 2015 and table C presents annual data for nonfarm business and
total manufacturing from 2012 to 2014. Revised quarterly and annual series
for all sectors in recent years appear in tables 1-6 and appendix tables 1-6.
Historical annual indexes for the manufacturing sectors appear in appendix
tables 7-9. Full historical annual and quarterly measures can be found on the
Productivity and Costs home page: www.bls.gov/lpc/#data.
Nonfarm business sector productivity decreased 1.1 percent in the first
quarter of 2015--rather than falling 3.1 percent as reported June 4--solely
reflecting a 2.1-percentage point upward revision to output; hours increased
at the same 1.6 percent rate reported previously. Unit labor costs increased
2.3 percent in the first quarter of 2015--much less than a previously-
published increase of 6.7 percent--due to both the upward revision to
productivity and a 2.2-percentage point downward revision to hourly
compensation. Real hourly compensation increased 4.2 percent after
revision, rather than the previous estimate of 6.5 percent.
There were historical revisions to quarterly series of labor productivity
in the nonfarm business sector. Percent changes from previous quarter were
revised beginning in 2011. Most notable were downward revisions in the
third quarters of both 2012 and 2013, and the upward revision in the first
quarter of 2015. The average growth rate from the first quarter of 2011 to
the first quarter of 2015 was revised down by 0.1 percentage point, to a
rate of 0.5 percent.
There were also revisions to percent changes from the same quarter a year
ago, beginning in 2011. After revision, the four-quarter rate of
productivity growth dipped below zero for the first three quarters of 2013.
The last time this measure was negative for three consecutive quarters was
the first three quarters of 1982; in 2013 hours were rising faster than
output, while in 1982 output was falling faster than hours.
Annual Average productivity growth in the nonfarm business sector was not
revised for 2014. (See table C.) Productivity growth was revised down in
both 2013 and 2012, to rates of 0.0 percent in 2013 and 0.9 percent in 2012.
The revised annual rate of 0.0 percent in 2013 is the lowest annual change
in productivity since a 1.0 percent decline in 1982. The average annual rate
of productivity growth from 2007 to 2014--corresponding to the current
business cycle--was revised down from 1.4 percent to 1.3 percent per year,
well below the long-term rate from 1947 to 2014 of 2.2 percent per year.
Manufacturing sector productivity declined 0.6 percent in the first quarter
of 2015--a smaller decline than previously reported--as an upward revision to
output was greater than an upward revision to hours. Unit labor costs
decreased 1.1 percent rather than increasing 3.4 percent as reported June 4,
due to both the upward revision to productivity and a 4.1-percentage point
downward revision to hourly compensation.
Annual average manufacturing productivity grew 1.3 percent in 2014, less
than the previous estimate of 2.2 percent. Unit labor costs increased 1.4
percent in 2014, rather than 0.3 percent as previously reported. There were
also historical revisions to manufacturing productivity for the complete
series, going back to 1987. The revised long-term growth rate from 1987 to
2014 is 3.4 percent, larger than a previous estimate of 3.2 percent. From
1987 to 2000 the average annual rate of growth in manufacturing productivity
was revised down from 3.7 percent to 3.5 percent. For the 2000-2007 period
the average annual rate was revised up from 3.7 percent to 4.7 percent, and
during the current business cycle from 2007 to 2014 the average annual rate
was revised up from 1.7 percent to 2.2 percent. This recent period saw the
largest single-year revisions--a large downward revision in 2009 followed by
large upward revisions in 2010 and 2011.
Nonfinancial corporate sector productivity and related measures were subject
to revision back to 2011, to incorporate source data revisions to series
from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, including output, compensation, and
data on the proportion of employees working in the corporate sector. First-
quarter 2015 productivity growth was revised down to a decline of 2.1
percent, rather than the previously-published decline of 1.2 percent; this
revision was due solely to a downward revision to output. Annual average
productivity was revised down 0.1 percentage points in 2014 to a rate of 0.4
percent, revised up 0.7 percentage points in 2013 to a rate of 1.0 percent,
and revised down 0.3 percentage points in 2012 to a rate of 1.6 percent.

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 2014. Nonfarm business, which excludes farming, accounted for about 75
percent of GDP in 2014.
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 2014.
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 2015.
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 1978-2014 is based on the Consumer
Price Index research series (CPI-U-RS).
