Indexes of output per man and per man-hour in Canada, commercial nonagricultural economy, 1949-62 / Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Industry Division, Productivity Research and Analysis Section.: CS14-501/1964E-PDF

“During recent years the increasing interest in questions of economic growth, cost-structure and international competitiveness, and in the relationships between production, employment, earnings and prices, has focussed attention on productivity as a framework within which such problems can be usefully analyzed. In response to a wide demand, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics has undertaken to develop statistical measures capable of throwing light on various aspects of the relationships between input and output that are summarily called productivity. The present reference document is the first publication in the new programme, and contains statistical series of real output per person employed and real output per man-hour, for the commercial nonagricultural economy as a whole, as well as for its manufacturing and nonmanufacturing components. In view of the limited resources available, the efforts were concentrated on the development of measures relating output to labour input only”--Foreward.
