The initial compilation of Unit Labour Costs for the October 7th publication failed to include as part of the ULC calculation various government schemes introduced during the first lockdown. These schemes are employment subsidies and should have been deducted from total labour costs to give a more accurate interpretation of the labour costs of productivity faced by producers of goods and services.
