  • Labour productivity time series

    Quarterly output per hour, output per job and output per worker for the whole UK economy and a range of industries.

  • Output per hour worked, UK

    Estimates for gross value added (GVA), hours worked and output per hour worked for whole economy and section level industries, as defined by the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 2007.

The United Kingdom Statistics Authority has designated these statistics as National Statistics, in accordance with the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 and signifying compliance with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

Designation can be broadly interpreted to mean that the statistics:

  • meet identified user needs
  • are well explained and readily accessible
  • are produced according to sound methods
  • are managed impartially and objectively in the public interest

Once statistics have been designated as National Statistics it is a statutory requirement that the Code of Practice shall continue to be observed.
