Note: For the whole economy, unit wage costs are the ratio of average wages and salaries for employees divided by output per worker. To measure this for manufacturing, the Average Earnings Index for manufacturing is divided by manufacturing output per job.

Note: Total-factor productivity growth is the residual part of output growth that is not attributable to the growth of labour or capital inputs, and aims to capture the improved efficiency with which inputs are combined to produce output. This chart is based upon experimental data released by the Office of National Statistics, see here for more information. It has been assumed that the distribution of income between labour and capital in the self-employed sector is equal to that of the employed sector.
