This data product provides estimates of productivity growth in the U.S. farm sector for 1948-2017, and estimates of the growth and relative levels of productivity across U.S. States for 1960-2004. The next update to this data product—planned for the end of 2021—is expected to contain estimates for the U.S. accounts through 2019. Productivity describes various measures of the efficiency of production.Often, a productivity measure is expressed as the ratio of an aggregate output to a single input or an aggregate input used in a production process, i.e. output per unit of input, typically over a specific period of time. Most common example is the (aggregate) labour productivity measure, e.g., such as GDP per worker.

Overview of BLS Productivity Statistics. Productivity and related cost measures are designed for use in economic analysis and public and private policy planning. The data are used to forecast and analyze changes in prices, wages, and technology. There are two primary types of productivity statistics: Labor productivity measures output per hour These changes have been incorporated into the Labor Productivity and Costs by Industry Tables and the Labor Productivity and Costs by Industry Chart Dashboard. The private community hospitals data were originally added on October 16, 2015. Labor productivity and costs data for the nonfinancial corporate sector were corrected December 17, 2012. By the third quarter of 2016, labor productivity in the current business cycle had grown at an average rate of just 1.1 percent, well below the long-term average rate of 2.3 percent from 1947 to 2007 and even further behind the 2.7-percent average rate over the cycle from 2001 to 2007. Productivity refers to how much output a company can generate with a given amount of input. Labor productivity, or how productive a company's workers are, is an important factor for ongoing Manufacturing Production in the United States averaged 3.76 percent from 1920 until 2020, reaching an all time high of 67.90 percent in July of 1933 and a record low of -39.40 percent in February of 1946.

The numbers: The productivity of American workers increased in 2019 at the fastest annual pace in nine years — but slower U.S. economic growth and weak business investment suggest the gains The Labor Department said Thursday that productivity — or output per hour worked — rose 2.3% in the April-June quarter, down from 3.5% in the first three months of the year. Businesses analyze productivity in processes, manufacturing, and sales to improve the bottom line. Governments use productivity measures to evaluate whether laws, taxes, and other policies increase or impede business growth. Central banks also analyze productivity to see how well the economy is using total capacity. In the United States, productivity growth has declined sharply since 2004, yet digital technology has been widely apparent during this period. Even more startling, in 2016, measures of productivity growth flirted with negative territory. The answer to this puzzle holds the key to future prosperity, because now more than ever, as low birthrates slow the expansion of the labor force, the US U.S. productivity grew at a solid 3.6% rate in the first three months of this year, the strongest quarterly gain in more than four years and a hopeful sign that a long stretch of weak productivity

Productivity in the United States is expected to be 109.30 points by the end of this quarter, according to Trading Economics global macro models and analysts expectations. Looking forward, we estimate Productivity in the United States to stand at 110.70 in 12 months time.
