The industry productivity database through the year 2005 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 2004 (revised) and 2005 (preliminary), published in The Daily on November 6, 2008; revisions of investment, published in The Daily on November 7, 2008; and revisions of hours worked for 2004 to 2007, published in The Daily on December 8, 2008.

Available on CANSIM: table 383-0022.

A description of the method used to derive productivity measures is offered online in the publication The Canadian Productivity Review: "User Guide for Statistics Canada's Annual Multifactor Productivity Program" (15-206-XIE2007014, free), available from the Publications module of our website.
