ECON: Productivity Higher Than Expected While Labor Costs Decline

- Productivity +2.9 vs +2.7 Consensus, most since Q310
- Labor Costs -1.9 vs -0.9 Consensus, most since Q411
Nonfarm business sector labor productivity increased at a 2.9 percent
annual rate during the third quarter of 2012, the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported today. The increase in productivity reflects increases
of 4.2 percent in output and 1.3 percent in hours worked. (All quarterly
percent changes in this release are seasonally adjusted annual rates.)
From the third quarter of 2011 to the third quarter of 2012, productivity
increased 1.7 percent as output and hours worked rose 3.5 percent and 1.8
percent, respectively.
Labor productivity, or output per hour, is calculated by dividing an index
of real output by an index of hours worked of all persons, including
employees, proprietors, and unpaid family workers. The measures released
today were based on more recent source data than were available for the
preliminary report.
Unit labor costs in nonfarm businesses declined 1.9 percent in the third
quarter of 2012, while hourly compensation increased 0.9 percent. Unit
labor costs rose slightly, 0.1 percent, over the last four quarters.
BLS defines unit labor costs as the ratio of hourly compensation to labor
productivity; increases in hourly compensation tend to increase unit labor
costs and increases in output per hour tend to reduce them.
