PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS
First Quarter 2005, Revised
The Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor today reported revised
productivity data—as measured by output per hour of all persons—for the first quarter of 2005.
The revised seasonally adjusted annual rates of productivity change in the first quarter were:
2.6 percent in the business sector and
2.9 percent in the nonfarm business sector.
In both sectors, the first-quarter productivity gains were somewhat higher than those reported
initially on May 5.
In manufacturing, the revised productivity changes in the first quarter were:
4.4 percent in manufacturing,
6.3 percent in durable goods manufacturing, and
2.4 percent in nondurable goods manufacturing.
Manufacturing productivity growth was faster than reported on May 5, reflecting an
upward revision to productivity in nondurable goods manufacturing. Productivity growth in
durable goods manufacturing was unchanged from the figure released last month. Output and
hours in manufacturing, which includes about 13 percent of U.S. business-sector employment,
tend to vary more from quarter to quarter than data for the aggregate business and nonfarm
business sectors. First-quarter measures are summarized in table A and appear in detail in tables
1 through 5.
This release reports revised data on hours at work and related measures, including productivity
and hourly compensation. The hours revision reflects implementation of a new methodology
which utilizes information on employment and hours by primary and secondary job of nonfarm
proprietors and unpaid family workers, all persons working in the farm sector, and all employees
of government enterprises. These data are collected in the BLS Current Population Survey. See
Change in Methodology (page 7).

2
The data sources and methods used in the preparation of the manufacturing series differ
from those used in preparing the business and nonfarm business series, and these measures are
not directly comparable. Output measures for business and nonfarm business are based on
measures of gross domestic product prepared by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the U.S.
Department of Commerce. Quarterly output measures for manufacturing reflect indexes of
industrial production independently prepared by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System. See Technical Notes for further information on data sources (page 8).

Business
Productivity increased 2.6 percent in the business sector from the fourth quarter of 2004
to the first quarter of 2005, as output increased 4.0 percent and hours worked by all persons grew
1.4 percent (seasonally adjusted annual rates). Productivity had increased 3.8 percent in the
previous quarter, reflecting increases in output and hours of 4.3 percent and 0.5 percent,
respectively (table 1).
Hourly compensation increased 6.0 percent during the first quarter of 2005, after having
increased 11.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2004, as revised (seasonally adjusted annual
rates). The fourth quarter increase was the largest in the sector since a 14.1-percent increase in
the first quarter of 2000. This measure of compensation includes wages and salaries,
supplements, employer contributions to employee benefit plans, and taxes. Real hourly
compensation, which takes into account changes in consumer prices, rose by 3.5 percent in the
first quarter of 2005, down from a 7.3-percent rise in the previous quarter.

3
Unit labor costs increased 3.3 percent during the first quarter of 2005, following a jump
of 7.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2004. The change in unit labor costs approximates the
change in hourly compensation less the change in productivity. The implicit price deflator for
business output, which reflects changes in both unit labor costs and unit nonlabor payments,
grew by 2.6 percent in the first quarter of 2005.
Nonfarm business
Productivity rose 2.9 percent in the nonfarm business sector during the first quarter of
2005, reflecting a 4.0-percent rise in output and a 1.1-percent increase in hours of all persons
(table 2). In fourth-quarter 2004, nonfarm productivity grew 2.3 percent as output grew 3.7
percent and hours increased 1.4 percent.
Hourly compensation increased 6.3 percent in the first quarter of 2005. After revision,
this measure grew at a 10.2 percent annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2004—faster than in any
quarter since the first quarter of 2000, when hourly compensation increased 14.5 percent. When
the rise in consumer prices is taken into account, real hourly compensation rose 3.9 in the first
quarter of 2005. Real hourly compensation had increased 6.4 percent in the previous quarter.
Unit labor costs grew 3.3 percent during the first quarter of 2005, less than the 7.7percent increase in the fourth quarter, as revised. The implicit price deflator for nonfarm business
output rose by 2.8 percent in the first quarter of 2005.
Manufacturing
Productivity rose 4.4 percent in manufacturing in the first quarter of 2005, as output grew
3.5 percent and working hours of all persons declined 0.9 percent (seasonally adjusted annual
rates). In durable goods industries, productivity grew 6.3 percent, as output expanded 5.5
percent and hours fell 0.8 percent. In nondurable goods industries, productivity rose 2.4 percent,
reflecting a 1.3 percent increase in output and a 1.1 percent decrease in hours (tables 3, 4, and 5).
Hourly compensation in manufacturing rose 6.2 percent during the first quarter. This
increase reflects a rise of 6.5 percent in the hourly compensation of persons in durable goods
industries and an increase of 5.7 percent in the hourly compensation of workers in nondurable
goods industries. Real hourly compensation, which takes account of changes in consumer
prices, rose 3.8 percent for all manufacturing workers.
Unit labor costs rose 1.7 percent in manufacturing during the first quarter. In durable
goods industries, rapid productivity growth offset most of the increase in hourly compensation
and unit labor costs increased by just 0.2 percent. In nondurable goods industries, where
productivity grew at a slower rate in the first quarter, unit labor costs rose 3.2 percent.

4
Nonfinancial corporations
Preliminary first-quarter 2005 measures of productivity and costs for nonfinancial
corporations also were announced today (tables B and 6). Productivity rose 2.7 percent in the
first quarter, as output increased 3.2 percent and employee-hours rose 0.5 percent (seasonally
adjusted annual rates). As revised, productivity had increased at a 9.0-percent annual rate in the
fourth quarter of 2004, as output grew 10.5 percent and employee-hours rose 1.3 percent. The
nonfinancial corporate sector includes all corporations doing business in the United States,
except those classified as depository institutions, nondepository institutions, security and
commodity brokers, insurance carriers, regulated investment offices, small business investment
offices, and real estate investment trusts.

Hourly compensation rose 6.8 percent during the first quarter of 2005, following a 10.2
percent increase in the fourth quarter of 2004 that was the largest gain since first-quarter 2000,
when compensation per hour increased 15.2 percent (seasonally adjusted annual rates). When
the rise in consumer prices is taken into account, real hourly compensation increased 4.4 percent
in the first quarter of 2005. Unit labor costs in nonfinancial corporations rose 4.1 percent in the
first quarter, more than in any quarter since third-quarter 2000, when they increased 4.9 percent.

REVISED MEASURES
Previous and revised measures for the first quarter of 2005 in the business, nonfarm
business, and manufacturing sectors are compared in table C. Productivity was revised up
somewhat in all three sectors, due primarily to upward revisions in output as hours revisions
were small. Hourly compensation and real hourly compensation were revised up in all sectors
for the first quarter of 2005. Unit labor costs were revised up less than hourly compensation
because compensation costs were somewhat offset by the upward revisions to productivity.

5
The BLS also announced revised results for the fourth quarter and annual average of
2004. Productivity growth in the fourth quarter of 2004 was revised up slightly for the business
and nonfarm business sectors, reflecting small downward revisions to hours. On the other hand,
both sectors showed a 0.1 percentage-point decline for the year 2004, due to small upward
revisions to annual average hours. In the manufacturing sector, changes in productivity, output,
and hours were the same as reported May 5 for fourth-quarter and annual average 2004.

In all three sectors, hourly compensation and unit labor costs grew much more rapidly
during the fourth quarter of 2004 than announced on May 5. In the business sector, hourly
compensation growth was revised up from 4.9 percent to 11.1 percent and unit labor costs were
revised up from 1.1 percent to 7.1 percent. In nonfarm business, hourly compensation growth
went from 3.8 percent to 10.2 percent and unit labor costs went from 1.7 percent to 7.7 percent.
In the manufacturing sector, hourly compensation growth was revised up from 7.1 percent to
10.4 percent and the increase in unit labor costs was revised up from 0.8 percent to 3.9 percent.
The revisions to fourth quarter data were large enough to change movements in the annual
averages for these measures. For the full year 2004, both hourly compensation and unit labor
costs increased more than previously reported in the business and nonfarm business sectors. In
the manufacturing sector, hourly compensation increased 0.2 percentage point more—and unit
labor costs declined 0.2 percentage-point less—than originally reported.
The entire historical series of hours and related measures were also subject to revision
due to a methodological change in the way hours are computed. At the aggregate level, trends in
hours, and ratios based on hours, are very close to those in the previously-published measures.
(See Change in Methodology on page 7, and appendix tables beginning on page 16.)
REVISED MEASURES: NONFINANCIAL CORPORATIONS
Fourth quarter and annual average 2004 measures also were revised for the nonfinancial
corporate sector. In the fourth quarter of 2004, output and productivity were revised up
sharply, and productivity rose 9.0 percent. Hourly compensation was revised up by more than
productivity so unit labor costs also were revised up, and now show an increase of 1.1 percent
rather than a decline of 0.8 percent. For the year 2004, productivity growth was revised up
from 3.9 percent to 4.2 percent, due entirely to an upward revision to output growth from 5.4
percent to 5.6 percent. The 2004 increase in hourly compensation was revised up slightly more
than productivity—from 4.4 percent to 4.8 percent—and unit labor costs were revised up 0.1
percent.

Change in Methodology
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has used Current Population Survey (CPS) data to
measure the hours of nonfarm proprietors and unpaid family workers, all persons working in the
farm sector, and all employees of government enterprises using the hours worked by people
whose main job falls into these categories. Effective with this release of Productivity and Costs,
hours for primary and secondary jobs held by persons working more than one job will be
processed separately and assigned to the appropriate class of worker for each job, rather than
assigning all hours to the primary job. Hours worked in a second job as a nonfarm employee by
a proprietor (or other selected category of worker for whom our source is the CPS) are deducted
to avoid double-counting. Conversely, hours worked as a proprietor in a secondary job by a
person who is primarily an employee are now included. This multiple-jobholder adjustment
yields an improved measure of hours at work by sector and industry and the employment series
approximates a count of jobs rather than persons. This adjustment has not yet been implemented
within the manufacturing sector, where there are very few proprietors.

Next release date
The next release of Productivity and Costs is scheduled for 8:30 AM EDT, Tuesday,
Aug. 9, 2004. Preliminary second-quarter measures for business, nonfarm business, and
manufacturing will be released at that time. The Aug. 9 release also will incorporate the threeyear revision of the national income and product accounts.

8
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 years
prior to 2001. 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.
Output: Business sector output is an annualweighted index constructed after excluding from
gross domestic product (GDP) the following
outputs: general government, nonprofit institutions, and private households (including owneroccupied housing). Corresponding exclusions
also are made in labor inputs. Business output
accounted for about 78 percent of the value of
GDP in 2000. Nonfarm business, which also
excludes farming, accounted for about 77
percent of GDP in 2000.
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 BEA. 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 an
annual-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 54 percent of
the value of GDP in 2000.
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.

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. Compensation and hours 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 –1.3 and +1.4 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 fourth quarter of 2004.

Footnotes, Tables 1-6
(1) Wages and salaries of employees plus employers' contributions for social insurance and
private benefit plans. Except for nonfinancial corporations, where there are no selfemployed, 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 1978-2004 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 from the original data rather
than index numbers. Annual changes: Percent change between annual average levels.
(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.
