Major Sector Productivity and Costs
When economists argue about whether workers are getting more productive or whether wage growth is outpacing efficiency, they're using this data. It shows how much stuff gets made per worker-hour in different industries, and what that labor actually costs employers. Rising productivity means the economy is working smarter. Rising unit labor costs can signal inflation pressure. This is the official government tracker for both metrics.
