The industry productivity database through the year 2004 is now available. The database provides time series data for multifactor productivity, output and inputs that include capital, labour, energy, materials and purchased services in the new North American Industry Classification System back to 1961.

These data reflect the latest input-output tables for 2003 (revised) and 2004 (preliminary), published in The Daily on November 8, 2007; revisions of investment, published in The Daily on December 5, 2007; and revisions of hours worked for 2001 to 2006, published in The Daily on November 27, 2007.

Available on CANSIM: table 383-0022.

A description of the method used to derive productivity measures is available online in the publications User Guide for Statistics Canada's Annual Multifactor Productivity Program (15-206-XIE2007014, free) and The Latest Developments in the Canadian Economic Accounts: "Industry Productivity Database" (13-605-XIE2007005, free).
