Notes:

Source: U.S. data are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Productivity and costs, published in NEWS.

Calculations of growth rates are based on index numbers rounded to three decimal places.

1. This is the ratio of labour compensation to GDP at market prices in current dollars.

2. The change at annualized rates corresponds to the annual growth rate that would have been observed if the growth over the quarter had been the same for the whole year.
