SOURCES: Output measured by sales revenue (“Sales”) from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Division of Industry Productivity Studies (https://www.bls.gov/lpc/lpc_by_industry_and_measure.xlsx using the “Output” field). Output measured by gross margin (“Margin”) and value added (“Value Added”) from U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, Industry Data webpage (using the “Chain-Type Quantity Index” for both gross output and value added). Hours data (“Hours”) from BLS (https://www.bls.gov/lpc/lpc_by_industry_and_measure.xlsx using the “Hours” field). All four series described using indices where 2007=100 (Sales, Hours) or 2012=100 (Margin, Value Added). Labor productivity calculated by dividing change in output by change in hours worked, using hours data.
