Preface

The productivity measures in this bulletin describe
the relationship between output in real terms and the
labor time involved in its production. They show the
changes from year to year in the amount o f labor time
required to produce a unit of output. Although these
measures relate output to employment and employee
hours, they do not measure the specific contributions
of labor, capital, or any other factor of production.
Rather, they reflect the joint effect of a number o f inter­
related influences, such as changes in technology; capi­
tal investment per worker; level o f output; utilization
of capacity; layout and flow o f material; managerial
skill; and skills and effort of the work force. Some of
the productivity measures use a labor input series based
on hours paid and some use a labor input series based
on hours at the plant.

in this bulletin can be obtained by writing the Division

This bulletin updates through 1980 indexes of output
per employee hour and output per employee for the
industries currently included in the U.S. Government’s
productivity measurement program. For most indus­
tries, indexes are presented in this bulletin beginning
with 1954. For many of these industries, however, data
can be obtained beginning with 1947 upon request.
Indexes are published for the first time for the fol­
lowing industries: Machine tools; transformers; and non­
wool yarn mills. Indexes for hardwood veneer and ply­
wood and softwood veneer and plywood are presented
separately for the first time. Articles on the machine
tool and transformer industries appeared in the Novem ­
ber 1981 issue of the Monthly Labor Review. An article
on nonwool yarn mills will appear in a forthcoming
issue.
Each index is intended to represent only the change
in output per employee hour for the designated indus­
try or combination of industries. These industries are
not necessarily a representative cross-section of U.S.
industry. They should not be combined, therefore, to
obtain an overall measure for the entire U.S. economy
or for any sector. However, the Bureau of Labor Sta­
tistics does publish indexes of output per hour of all
persons and related measures for the private business
sector and the nonfarm business, manufacturing, and
nonfinancial corporate sectors. These productivity se­
ries show the relationship between gross product orginating in these sectors and employment and hours.
(The data are presented in the Bureau of Labor Statis­
tics press releases Productivity and Costs (quarterly), in
the Monthly Labor Review, and in Employment and
Earnings.)

Highlights of Trends in
Output per Employee Hour

Current developments

equipment. Another large industry, petroleum refining,
recorded an increase in productivity of 4.4 percent as
older, less efficient capacity was shut down.
Other large manufacturing industries which recorded
increases in productivity in 1980 were: Bakery products
(3.7 percent), bottled and canned soft drinks (3.0 per­
cent), footwear (1.8 percent), paper, paperboard, and
pulp mills (1.1 percent), corrugated and solid fiber boxes
(0.4 percent), and pharmaceutical preparations (0.2
percent).
Among the mining industries, productivity in coal
mining increased 12.6 percent in 1980. Coal output grew
6.4 percent due to increased demand for coal as a pe­
troleum substitute, growing exports, and stockpiling in
anticipation o f a strike in 1981, while hours fell 5.5 per­
cent. However, productivity declines occurred in the
other mining industries covered; copper mining (recov­
erable metal) dropped 7.4 percent, nonmetallic minerals
fell 5.8 percent, and iron mining (usable ore) declined
0.2 percent.
Productivity changes were mixed in the transporta­
tion and utility industries. In petroleum pipelines, pro­
ductivity fell 10.6 percent as the industry’s output
dropped due to reduced demand for petroleum prod­
ucts. Productivity dropped 6.1 percent in air transpor­
tation as output fell, the first productivity decline in
this industry since the measure was begun in 1947. Pro­
ductivity in intercity trucking fell 4.5 percent, the fourth
consecutive decline, as output dropped 9.7 percent due
to decreased shipments of consumer products, construc­
tion materials, and petroleum. However, two transpor­
tation industries, railroads and bus carriers, showed pro­
ductivity increases—2.5 and 3.3 percent, respectively.
Electric and gas utilities both experienced declines in
productivity. In the electric utilities industry, produc­
tivity fell 1.4 percent; in gas utilities, 5.2 percent. Tele­
phone communications, on the other hand, had a pro­
ductivity gain of 6.6 percent, associated with a large
gain in output.
Productivity changes also varied among the trade
and service industries. Productivity declined as output
fell in hotels and motels (-7.7 percent), laundries and
dry cleaning (-6.8 percent), gasoline service stations
(-3.5 percent), and eating and drinking places (-2.0 per­

From 1979 to 1980, output per employee hour de­
creased in slightly more than one-half of the industries
for which data are presented in this report. In contrast,
from 1978 to 1979, productivity increased in more than
one-half of the industries. This slowdown in productiv­
ity in 1980 was consistent with the performance of the
nonfarm business sector as a whole, where productiv­
ity fell 0.3 percent.
Construction machinery, a large manufacturing in­
dustry, experienced the most severe dropoff in produc­
tivity o f any industry in this report. Output per hour in
this industry fell 13.2 percent as output dropped 19.7
percent as a consequence of diminished activity in the
construction industry.
Among other large manufacturing industries, the mo­
tor vehicles industry sustained a 4.4-percent decline in
output per employee hour as output plummeted 28.2
percent while employee hours were reduced 24.9 per­
cent. The declines in motor vehicle output and em­
ployee hours were the largest on record since the be­
ginning of the series in 1957. All of the major sectors
o f the industry - passenger cars, trucks, truck trailers,
and buses - showed sharp output declines, influenced
by the recession in the first half of 1980 and continued
increases in imports.
Steel, another large manufacturing industry, also ex­
perienced a decline in productivity—3.7 percent—based
on a drop of 17.0 percent in output and a reduction in
employee hours of 13.8 percent. The large drop in this
industry’s output was due to a decrease in demand from
such key markets as motor vehicles, construction, and
appliances.
Other large manufacturing industries which recorded
declines in productivity in 1980 included: Gray iron
foundries (-6.0 percent), synthetic fibers (-5.6 percent),
motors and generators (-4.1 percent), sawmills and plan­
ing mills (-1.9 percent), and fabricated structural metal
(-1.8 percent).
However, several large manufacturing industries
posted productivity gains. Productivity in the fluid milk
industry scored one o f the highest gains in 1980—5.7
percent—as smaller plants continued to be closed while
new and larger plants incorporated more automatic

cent). Conversely, productivity in drugstores rose 6.9
percent as output rose. New car dealers had a produc­
tivity gain of 4.4 percent, based on a sharp drop in out­
put but an even steeper drop in hours. Retail food stores
had a small productivity gain of 0.2 percent as output
rose 2.6 percent.

high output growth and the expanded use of electronic
switching equipment.
Among the industries that experienced productivity
declines during the 1975-80 period, blended and pre­
pared flour dropped the most (-5.0 percent). Other in­
dustries in which productivity declined substantially
(more than 1 percent per year) during the period were:
Brick and structural clay tile (-3.7 percent), steel foun­
dries (-2.1 percent), metal forming machine tools (-1.8
percent), laundry and cleaning services (-1.7 percent),
eating and drinking places (-1.4 percent), and retail food
stores (-1.2 percent). (See table 1.)

Long-term trends
Although none of the industries in this report re­
corded average annual declines in productivity over the
long term (1947-80 for many of the industries), the rates
o f change were quite diverse. Over this long- term pe­
riod, the air transportation industry recorded the high­
est rate of growth in productivity, 6.8 percent per year,
along with the highest rate of growth in output (11.9
percent per year). The petroleum pipelines industry
posted the second highest rate o f gain in productivity,
6.6 percent annually, over a somewhat shorter time pe­
riod (1958-80). A large gain in the volume of petroleum
products moved, coupled with the continuing utiliza­
tion of highly automatic equipment, contributed to this
substantial growth in productivity. On the other hand,
the metal forming portion of the machine tools industry
recorded no overall annual growth in productivity over
the long term.
Although the rates of productivity change varied
widely among the industries during the 1975-80 period
(see chart 1), three-fourths of the industries recorded
lower average annual gains in this more recent period
than during the 1947-75 period. This experience matches
the productivity record of the economy as a whole.
From 1947 to 1975, productivity in the nonfarm busi­
ness sector grew 2.4 percent per year while from 1975
to 1980 the annual growth rate was only 0.6 percent.
The slower growth in productivity among the indus­
tries included in this report was associated with less
rapid output growth in the later period.
There were a few notable exceptions to the falloff in
productivity growth in the last few years. The wet corn
milling industry, with a 10.6-percent average annual
gain, posted the highest growth in productivity during
the later period; earlier, productivity in this industry
had advanced at a rate o f 5.1 percent. Rapid growth in
the later period was aided by a sharp gain in output for
one o f the industry’s products, high fructose corn syrup,
a sugar substitute. In addition, during this period a num­
ber o f new plants, utilizing the latest computerized con­
trols, came on line. Other industries with high rates of
growth in productivity during the 1975-80 period were
ceramic wall and floor tile, at a rate of 7.5 percent, and
telephone communications, at 6.5 percent. In the ce­
ramic tile industry, a new technique for firing tile be­
came widespread. This manufacturing change, coupled
with changes in materials handling procedures, resulted
in significant labor savings. Productivity in the tele­
phone communications industry was aided by sustained



New measures
Nonwool yarn mills (SIC 2281). Productivity in the
nonwool yarn mill industry increased at an average an­
nual rate of 2.3 percent during 1958-80, somewhat be­
low the 2.8-percent rate for all manufacturing. The rate
of increase in output was 4.5 percent while employee
hours increased at a rate o f 2.1 percent.
The introduction o f improved preparatory and spin­
ning equipment has been an important factor in proT
ductivity gains. As mills have introduced this equip­
ment, they have benefited from such production tech­
niques as automatic chute feed and open-end spinning.
Open-end spinning eliminates the need for a separate
roving and winding operation. Equipment used in other
stages of the production process, such as automatic bale
opening and blending equipment, has also boosted in­
dustry productivity.
Machine tools (SIC 3541, 3542). Output per employee
hour in the machine tool industry rose at an average
annual rate of 1.0 percent over the 1958-80 period significantly below the 2.8-percent rate for manufactur­
ing as a whole. A combination of factors slowed pro­
ductivity in the industry, including the tendency of ma­
chine tool firms to keep highly skilled workers on the
payroll, even when output fell during cyclical slow­
downs, and the slackened demand for capital goods
after the mid-1960’s. However, the slowdown was mod­
erated by technological advances in the manufacture of
machine tools, as well as by high rates of productivity
improvement in periods of cyclical recovery.
Productivity improvements in the metal cutting tools
(SIC 3541) segment of the industry averaged 1.3 per­
cent annually. In metal forming tools (SIC 3542), pro­
ductivity showed no advance.
A number o f important innovations have been
adopted in the manufacture of metal cutting and metal
forming machine tools. By far the most important de­
velopment in machine tool technology has been the
evolution of numerical control. Numerical control has
reshaped machine tool technology, and continues to
transform it. Additionally, cutting tool materials have

percent and advances in employee hours averaging 1.0
percent.
This growth occurred because of many factors, most
importantly the change to standardized products using
assembly line manufacturing techniques. Additionally,
during this time period, the use of computers became
more pervasive, for jobs such as design, cost estimation,
preparation of drawings, work scheduling, and inven­
tory control. Another reason for the rise in productiv­
ity was a rapid increase in capital expenditures per em­
ployee in the mid-1960’s. These purchases of new plant
and equipment, coupled with output growth, produced
operating efficiencies.

become harder, permitting increased cutting speeds, al­
though at the cost of requiring heavier, more powerful
machines. However, technological diffusion among ma­
chine tool producers has been slow - slower than among
the industries which use machine tools in mass
production.
Transformers (SIC 3612). Productivity in the trans­
formers industry increased at an average annual rate of
2.4 percent from 1963 to 1980, about the same as the
average rate of advance for all manufacturing establish­
ments. The growth in productivity in the transformers
industry was the result of output gains averaging 3.5

Methods and Data Sources

portation industry included only those carriers that were
classified in SIC 4511 (air transportation, certificated
carriers). Beginning in 1980, the air transportation in­
dustry measures include some carriers that are techni­
cally classified in SIC 4521 (air transportation, noncertificated carriers). The inclusion of these noncertificated
carriers became necessary due to the passage o f the
Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 which resulted in
noncertificated carriers performing the same services
as certificated carriers.
Periodically, the output indexes for most of the meas­
ures are adjusted to levels based on data reported in
the economic censuses for mining, manufacturing, and
business. The most current adjustments presented in this
report reflect data from the 1977 economic censuses.
Employment and employee hour indexes are developed
primarily from basic data compiled by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Bureau of the Census.
In concept, indexes based on employee hour data from
the Bureau of the Census relate to plant hours only.
Employee hour data from BLS include not only hours
at work but also payroll hours such as vacations, holi­
days, and sick leave paid by the establishment directly
to the employee.1 In general, because of increases in
paid leave during the period, output per employee hour
worked would tend to show a somewhat higher rate of
gain than output per employee hour paid. However,
actual differences may result from statistical limitations
in the data as well as from differences in concepts. In­
dustries for which BLS data are used for the measures
of employment and hours have been revised to reflect
adjustments to new universe levels.
This report includes indexes of output per employee
hour and output per employee. In most cases, the in­
dexes are shown for all employees, production workers,
and nonproduction workers.2 Although both the BLS
and Bureau of the Census provide data on production
worker hours, neither source provides annual data by
industry on nonproduction worker or all-employee

The indexes o f output per employee hour are computed
by dividing an index of output by an index of aggre­
gate employee hours. Corresponding measures also are
computed relating output to the number o f employees.
Thus, the industry indexes presented measure changes
in the relationship between output and employment or
employee hours.
The output indexes are based primarily on the physi­
cal quantity o f the products of the industry combined
with fixed period weights. Unit employee hour weights
are used whenever possible to aggregate the data.
For many industries, however, unit labor weights are
not available at the detailed product level so substitute
weights must be used. The most common substitute
weights are unit values, which are assumed to be pro­
portional to unit employee hours. For many manufac­
turing industries, however, employee hour weights at
the product-class level can be developed from the avail­
able data. In such cases, a dual level weighting system
is used—unit value weights at the product level and
unit labor weights at the product-class level.
Although the weights relate to fixed periods, they
are updated periodically, usually in conjunction with
economic censuses which are now conducted every 5
years. The most current weights used were derived
from the 1977 economic censuses. For three industries—
railroads, iron mining, and copper mining—two alter­
native productivity measures, using different concepts
of industry output, are presented.
The output indexes for coal mining and for bitumi­
nous coal and lignite mining have been revised. These
two output indexes are now based on data from the
Energy Information Administration, U.S. Department
of Energy; and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The indexes of employment and hours for all o f the
mining industries have also been revised. The indexes
of hours have been expanded to include measures of
nonproduction worker hours and all employee hours.
All of the indexes of employment and hours are now
based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The
hours data are supplemented with data from the Mine
Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Depart­
ment of Labor. Because of these revisions, the produc­
tivity measures for the mining industries have also been
revised.
The measures for air transportation have also been
modified. Prior to 1980, the measures for the air trans­




1Indexes for the railroad transportation industry are based on data
from the Interstate Commerce Commission and are related primarily
to hours at work.
2The term “production workers” covers manufacturing and mining
employees who work at the plant or mine and who are generally in
nonsupervisory occupations. The remaining employees, such as pro­
fessional, technical, clerical, supervisory, etc., are identified as “non­
production workers.”

nonproduction workers. Hours o f all persons are deri­
ved by summing the aggregate hours for paid employ­
ees, partners, proprietors, and unpaid family workers.
Manufacturing and mining indexes involving nonpro­
duction worker hours are subject to a wider margin of
error than are the indexes involving only production
worker hours because it is necessary to estimate the
average hours o f nonproduction workers. In general,
any error in these estimates would have a relatively in­
significant effect on the trend in the hours for all
employees.
The output indexes and employee hour components
of the industry productivity indexes are based on data
from a number of different sources which are identified
in the accompanying tables. For most o f the industries,
the 1980 output indexes are based on the data sources
that are regularly used. However, for some industries,
the normal data sources are not yet available, and other
information, such as the Federal Reserve Board output
indexes, the Current Industrial Reports of the Bureau of
the Census, and trade association data, were used. For
those industries for which the Bureau of the Census is
the primary source of employment and employee hours,
the 1980 indexes were developed by linking employ­
ment and employee hour data from BLS, since 1980
census data are not yet available. Therefore, all 1980
output per employee hour measures are considered pre­
liminary and are subject to revision. The indexes refer
to the standard reference base 1977=100 and, begin­
ning in 1972, conform to the 1972 Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) definitions.
The average annual rates of change published in this
bulletin are based on the linear least squares trends of
the logarithms of the index numbers. Average annual
rates o f change for any time periods shown in this re­
port are available on request from the Bureau o f Labor
Statistics.
More detailed information on the methods, limita­
tions, and data sources is contained in the BLS Hand­
book o f Methods, BLS Bulletin 1910 (1976), chapter 31,
and in a number of individual industry reports. Indus­
try reports as well as additional information are avail­
able on request from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

hours. Therefore, the nonproduction worker hours are
estimated.
The estimates of aggregate nonproduction worker
hours for the manufacturing industries are derived from
published employment data and from estimates of av­
erage annual hours paid or worked per nonproduction
worker. Prior to 1968, the estimates of average annual
hours paid were calculated by multiplying the number
of workweeks in the year by the scheduled weekly
hours. Estimated hours for vacations, holidays, disabil­
ity, and personal time off were subtracted from averge
annual hours paid to obtain an estimate of average an­
nual hours worked. Vacation and holiday trends were
based on studies by the U.S. Department o f Health,
Education, and Welfare, and on data from BLS sur­
veys. Personal time off was estimated as a constant on
the basis of data obtained from various sources. From
1968 to 1977 the estimates of average annual hours paid
and average annual hours worked have been based on
data collected in the BLS survey, Employee Compensa­
tion in the Private Nonfarm Economy. Because this sur­
vey has been discontinued, the estimates of hours paid
and hours worked for later years have been based on
the data collected for 1977. These estimates will be re­
vised as other data become available.
For six trade and service industries—retail food
stores; gasoline service stations; eating and drinking
places; drug stores and proprietary stores; hotels, mo­
tels, and tourist courts; and laundry and cleaning serv­
ices—measures of the hours of partners, proprietors,
and supervisory workers were developed. Except for
hotels, motels, and tourist courts, estimates were also
made for the hours of unpaid family workers. Average
weekly hours worked for partners, proprietors, and un­
paid family workers were obtained from unpublished
data collected in the Current Population Survey. A v­
erage weekly hours worked by supervisory employees
were obtained from the 1960 and 1970 censuses of popu­
lation. Estimates for intercensal years were derived us­
ing extrapolation and linear interpolation techniques.
All employee hour estimates for the manufacturing
industries are derived by summing the aggregate hours
for production workers and the estimated hours for
