KEY: R = revised.

^a Defined as output per hour, based on the number of paid hours.

^b 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.

Current version of this table is not comparable with the versions before the first quarter of 2015 because of the base index year changed from 2002 to 2007.
