As part of the 2015 comprehensive revision of the Canadian System of Macroeconomic Accounts, the data on provincial and territorial labour productivity and related variables in the business sector by industry from 1997 to 2014 are being released today.

These data have been aligned with those published on November 30, 2015, for the 2007 to 2014 period. They are also consistent with those incorporated in the provincial and territorial gross domestic product by industry, released on December 15, 2015.

This release also takes into account historical revisions to the Labour Force Survey, published in January 2015, and revisions to the Survey of Employment Payroll and Hours, released in March 2015.

  Note to readers

Provincial and territorial measures of labour productivity and related variables are consistent with the concepts of the System of National Accounts and with the 2007 input-output industry coding.

It is important to note that real output (used to measure productivity) is based on the value added measured at basic prices, not market prices, which is consistent with the detailed framework by industry. As well, the real estate, rental and leasing industry, part of the service-producing business sector, excludes the imputed rent for owner-occupied dwellings as there are no data on the number of hours that homeowners spend on dwelling maintenance services.
