We are updating our output per hour productivity estimates published as part of the Productivity Overview, UK, April to June 2022. The updated data takes on board reweighted labour force survey data for Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2021 to Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2021 which had previously not been picked up by our systems due to a technical issue. Output per hour worked relative to the 2019 average grew by 1.7% and not 1.8% as originally estimated. There are no revisions to the output per job and output per worker datasets.
