Additional Available Measures
Total economy production account measures are a product of a collaboration between the Bureau
of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of Economic Analysis to expand and improve the integration
of the national income and product accounts and productivity statistics. See "Integrated GDP-Productivity
Accounts," (PDF 182K), by Michael J. Harper, Brent R. Moulton,
Steven Rosenthal, and David B. Wasshausen. December 2008. Presented at the American Economic Association
Meetings in January 2009.
Multifactor productivity, output, capital, labor, and other inputs are
developed using detailed measures at a lower level of aggregation. While
these detailed measures are used to produce reliable measures at higher
levels of aggregation, the detailed NIPA-level industry measures can be used to
construct productivity measures of inconsistent quality at the NIPA industry
level. However, these measures may be suitable for other uses or as
qualitative indicators. These measures can be obtained by calling the
appropriate contacts or
by e-mailing your request.
The following measures are available upon request:
- Hours and compensation for 3-digit (2002 NAICS) manufacturing and
non-manufacturing NIPA-level industries
- Rental price detail measures by asset type by 3-digit (2002 NAICS)
manufacturing and non-manufacturing NIPA-level industries
File Types
The above ZIP files contain text and XLS files. A ZIP file utility is necessary
to extract the files.
How to Decompress ZIP Files
The ZIP file format combines a set of separate files into a single
compressed binary file referred to as an archive. Because the archive can
contain more than one file in compressed format, the ZIP format has become
one of the most common ways to transfer files over the Internet. To
decompress the files stored in ZIP format, the ZIP file first must be
downloaded to a PC and then a file utility must be used to extract the
individual files from the compressed binary file. Many file utilities are
available to "unzip" files in ZIP format in the form of freeware,
shareware and commercial packages. The following steps for downloading and
unzipping ZIP files work for most browsers:
Click on the link with the
right or left mouse button.
Choose the appropriate option in
the popup or dialogue box for saving the ZIP file.
Download
the ZIP file to a folder on the PC.
Use a ZIP file utility
to extract the compressed files from the archive.
