Release windowWhere Productivity and Costs lands in the trading day
What it measuresProductivity and Costs, in one paragraph
Productivity and Costs measures output per hour worked and unit labor costs for the U.S. business and nonfarm business sectors. It is the quarterly read on whether pay increases are being absorbed by output or by prices.
What JMM reads first
Unit labor cost is the line that decides whether a wage increase is inflationary. Pay rising faster than output per hour is a cost pressure; pay rising with it is not. This release is also revised heavily, so a first estimate is a draft.
