KEY: R = revised.
a Based on the number of paid hours.
b The average weekly hours were assumed to be constant for Air transportation industries; therefore, the Output per hour worked and the Output per employee measures are identical.
c Full-time and part-time employees are counted equally. Hence, these data do not reflect output per full-time equivalent employee.
NOTES
Bureau of Labor Statistics developed labor productivity indexes for all manufacturing and retail trade of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) industries as well as selected mining, transportation, communications and services industries.
Data in this table are not comparable to the data published in previous editions of the report due to change in base year of the index from 1997 to 2002.
