Productivity and Costs by Industry: Manufacturing Industries News Release

For release 10:00 a.m. (EDT) Wednesday, December 9, 2009	                               USDL-09-1502

                                  PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS BY INDUSTRY:
                                     MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES, 2007

Labor productivity – defined as output per hour – rose in 53 percent of detailed manufacturing industries 
in 2007, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. This was about unchanged from the proportion 
that recorded productivity increases the previous year.  (See table 1.)  Unit labor costs declined in 19 
percent of the industries.

Output fell and hours declined in more industries in 2007 than in 2006.  Output fell in 58 percent of the 86 4-
digit NAICS industries in 2007 and hours fell in 63 percent.  More industries experienced sharp increases or 
large declines in productivity in 2007 than in the previous year.  Productivity rose by 10 percent or more in 
ten industries and declined by 10 percent or more in nine industries.  Two of the ten largest detailed 
industries by employment size – aerospace products and parts manufacturing and semiconductors and electronic 
components manufacturing – posted double-digit output and productivity growth in 2007.  

Unit labor costs fell in 16 of the 86 manufacturing industries in 2007. (See table 1.)  Unit labor costs 
reflect the total labor costs required to produce a unit of output.  Increases in labor productivity help to 
offset increases in hourly compensation and thus limit increases in unit labor costs.
 
This report presents data for the manufacturing industries included in the attached tables.  Productivity data 
for industries in other sectors have been published in separate releases and can be found on the BLS Labor 
Productivity and Costs web site at http://www.bls.gov/lpc.

Over the longer 1987-2007 period, labor productivity increased in over 95 percent of the detailed 
manufacturing industries. (See table 2.)  Chart 1 (which appears in the PDF version of this news release) 
compares the distribution of productivity growth rates for 4-digit manufacturing industries in the most recent 
year with those for the period from 1987 to 2007. 

Productivity rose in a higher proportion of the more aggregate industries.  In 2007 labor productivity 
increased in 13 of the 21 3-digit NAICS manufacturing industries.  Chart 2 (which appears in the PDF version of 
this news release) shows the range of productivity changes for all 3-digit manufacturing industries.  
Productivity rose the fastest in primary metals manufacturing and in computer and electronic products 
manufacturing, two industries where output increased rapidly but hours fell. In contrast, a very large drop in 
output combined with a much smaller drop in labor hours resulted in a large productivity decline in apparel 
manufacturing.  Unit labor costs fell in 2 of the aggregate industries in 2007: primary metals manufacturing 
and transportation equipment manufacturing.

Between 1987 and 2007, productivity rose in all but one of the 21 aggregate industries.  The only industry 
to decline was apparel manufacturing, as output fell more rapidly than hours.

Year-to-year movements in industry productivity measures may be erratic, particularly in smaller industries.  
The annual measures based on sample data may differ from measures generated by a census of 
establishments in the industry.  Annual changes in an industry’s output and use of labor may reflect 
cyclical changes in the economy as well as long-term trends.  As a result, long-term productivity changes 
tend to be more reliable indicators of industry performance than are year-to-year changes.  

Revisions: This news release incorporates data from the Census Bureau’s 2007 Economic Census and the 
annual benchmark revision of the BLS Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey published in February 
2009.   The productivity measures in this release reflect, for the first time, data classified according to the 
2007 NAICS; series for some industries may have changed as a result.  The base year has been changed 
from 1997 to 2002 for all indexes. All of the measures for 2007 in this release are preliminary and subject 
to revision.  

The manufacturing industry measures have been revised to include, for the first time, the output of 
nonemployer firms and the employment, hours, and labor compensation of self-employed and unpaid family workers.  
Although small, the revision reflects a more complete accounting of the economic activity 
in each industry, and improves consistency with the measures for other sectors that account for the activity of 
these firms and workers.  The employment and hours series included in this news release were 
previously released in September 2009 as part of a database of employment and hours for a comprehensive set of 
3- and 4-digit NAICS industries.


                                         Technical Note

Labor Productivity

	  The industry labor productivity measures describe the relationship between industry 
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 the labor productivity measures relate output 
to hours of all persons in an industry, they do not measure the specific contribution of labor or any other 
factor of production.  Rather, they reflect the joint effects of many influences, including changes in 
technology; capital investment; utilization of capacity, energy, and materials; the use of purchased services 
inputs, including contract employment services; the organization of production; managerial skill; and the 
characteristics and effort of the workforce.

Output

	  Industry output is measured as an annual-weighted index of the changes in the various products 
or services (in real terms) provided for sale outside the industry. Real industry output is usually derived by 
deflating nominal sales or values of production using BLS price indexes, but for some industries it is 
measured by physical quantities of output. For manufacturing industries, industry output reflects sectoral 
value of production, derived by adjusting shipments for changes in inventories and removing intra-industry 
transactions.

	Industry output measures are constructed primarily using data from the economic censuses and 
annual surveys of the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce, together with information on 
price changes primarily from BLS.  

Labor Hours

	  The primary source of data on industry employment and hours is the BLS Current 
Employment Statistics (CES) survey.  The CES provides monthly data on the number of total and 
production worker jobs held by wage and salary workers in nonfarm establishments, as well as data on the 
average weekly hours of production workers in those establishments.  CES data are supplemented or 
further disaggregated for some industries using data from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and 
Wages (QCEW), the Bureau of the Census, or other sources.  Data from the Current Population Survey 
(CPS) also supplement the CES data.  CPS data are used to estimate employment and hours of self-
employed and unpaid family workers in each industry. Data from the CPS, together with the CES data, are 
also used to estimate the historical average weekly hours of nonproduction workers for each 
industry.  Hours of all persons in an industry are treated as homogeneous and are directly aggregated.

Unit Labor Costs

	  Unit labor costs represent the cost of labor required to produce one unit of output.  The 
unit labor cost indexes are computed by dividing an index of industry labor compensation by an index of 
real industry output.  Unit labor costs also describe the relationship between compensation per hour and 
real output per hour (labor productivity). Increases in hourly compensation increase unit labor costs; 
increases in labor productivity offset compensation increases and lower unit labor costs.
 
       Compensation, defined as payroll plus supplemental payments, is a measure of the cost to the 
employer of securing the services of labor. Payroll includes salaries, wages, commissions, dismissal pay, 
bonuses, vacation and sick leave pay, and compensation in kind.  Supplemental payments include legally 
required expenditures and payments for voluntary programs.  The legally required portion consists 
primarily of Federal old age and survivors’ insurance, unemployment compensation, and workers’ 
compensation.  Payments for voluntary programs include all programs not specifically required by 
legislation, such as the employer portion of private health insurance and pension plans.

Additional Information

	  While the rates of change reported by BLS in this news release are 
rounded to one decimal place, all industry productivity percent changes are calculated using index numbers 
to three decimal places.

       Industry productivity and related indexes and rates of change can be accessed online by visiting the
