                        PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS
                     Second Quarter 2013, Revised
                     

Nonfarm business sector labor productivity increased at a 2.3 percent 
annual rate during the second quarter of 2013, the U.S. Bureau of Labor 
Statistics reported today. The increase in productivity reflects increases 
of 3.7 percent in output and 1.4 percent in hours worked. (All quarterly 
percent changes in this release are seasonally adjusted annual rates.) 
From the second quarter of 2012 to the second quarter of 2013, 
productivity increased 0.3 percent as output and hours worked rose 2.1 
percent and 1.7 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. The measures released 
today were based on more recent source data than were available for the 
preliminary report.

Unit labor costs in nonfarm businesses were unchanged in the second 
quarter of 2013, as hourly compensation increased at the same 2.3 percent 
rate as productivity. Unit labor costs rose 1.5 percent over the last four 
quarters. (See table A.)

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 rose 1.9 percent in the second quarter 
of 2013, as output declined 0.6 percent and hours worked declined 2.4 
percent. Productivity increased 3.3 percent in the durable goods sector 
and 0.2 percent in the nondurable goods sector. Over the last four 
quarters, manufacturing productivity increased 1.9 percent, as output 
increased 1.9 percent and hours were unchanged. Unit labor costs in 
manufacturing rose 2.3 percent in the second quarter of 2013 and decreased 
0.5 percent from the same quarter a year ago. (See tables A and 3.) 

Preliminary second-quarter 2013 measures of productivity and costs were 
announced for the nonfinancial corporate sector. Productivity increased 
3.2 percent in the second quarter of 2013, as output and hours rose 4.8 
percent and 1.5 percent, respectively. Unit labor costs fell 0.9 percent, 
as the 2.3 percent gain in hourly compensation was less than the 3.2 
percent gain in productivity. (See tables C and 6.)

The concepts, sources, and methods used for the manufacturing and 
nonfinancial corporate 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

The measures released today are based on more recent source data than were 
available for the preliminary report. Tables B and C present previous and 
revised productivity and related measures for the major sectors: nonfarm 
business, business, and manufacturing, as well as nonfinancial 
corporations.

In the second quarter of 2013, nonfarm business productivity increased 
2.3 percent, rather than 0.9 percent as reported August 16. The revised 
figure reflects both an upward revision to output and a downward revision 
to hours worked. Unit labor costs were revised down due solely to the 
upward revision to productivity. In the manufacturing sector, 
productivity growth was revised down due to a downward revision to output 
and an upward revision to hours. Due to the downward revision to 
productivity, unit labor costs increased more than previously reported, 
2.3 percent.
 
In the first quarter of 2013, nonfarm business productivity was 
unrevised, and manufacturing productivity was revised down slightly from 
the August 16 release. In the nonfarm business sector, hourly 
compensation and unit labor costs decreased less than previously 
reported.

In the nonfinancial corporate sector, productivity, output, and unit labor 
costs were subject to revisions for the full period of these series, which 
begin in 1947. Measures of output and compensation for the nonfinancial 
corporate (NFC) sector now incorporate the revised National Income and 
Product Accounts (NIPA) data released on July 31 and corrected on August 
15 by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce. Hours 
were also revised for the NFC sector for 2001 forward, to include revised 
NIPA data on the proportion of sector compensation paid to employees of 
corporations and of nonprofit institutions. Also, all index measures for 
the NFC sector have been converted to a base year of 2009. A new base 
generally has little or no effect on percent changes. Historical revisions 
to measures for all other sectors due to the NIPA revision and BLS base 
year change were published with the August 16, 2013 release of 
Productivity and Costs. 

In the first quarter of 2013, nonfinancial corporate sector productivity 
declined 4.1 percent, rather than increasing 0.3 percent as reported June 
5. Unit labor costs declined 2.1 percent in the first quarter, compared to 
the 1.5 percent decrease published June 5. 

Annual Average productivity growth for 2012 in the nonfinancial corporate 
sector was revised to 1.4 percent from 0.7 percent due to an upward 
revision to output. For the full series from 1947 to 2012, the average 
annual rate of growth is 2.4 percent, slightly higher than the 2.3 percent 
rate published June 5.

Revised quarterly and annual series for recent years for all sectors 
appear in tables 1-6. Revised annual indexes for the NFC sector for all 
years appear in appendix table 1. Full historical annual and quarterly 
measures can be found on the productivity and costs home page

			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 2012. Nonfarm business, which excludes 
farming, accounted for about 74 percent of GDP in 2012.
     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 2012.
     
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. (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. 
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 2013.

		        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 1978-2012 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.
