Indexes of output per person employed and per man-hour in Canada, commercial nonagricultural industries, 1947-63 / Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Industry Division, Productivity Research and Analysis...: CS14-501/1965E-PDF

“During recent years, the increasing interest in questions of economic growth, cost-structure and international competitiveness, and in the relation-ships between output, employment, earnings and prices has focussed attention on productivity as a framework within which such problems can be usefully analysed. It was not until comparatively recently, however, that resources became available within the Dominion Bureau of Statistics for the development of 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 output per person employed and output per man-hour for the universe covering the commercial nonagricultural industries as a whole, as well as for their manufacturing and nonmanufacturing components. In view of the limited resources available, efforts were concentrated on the development of measures relating output to labour input only”--Foreward.
