Abstract

This article examines the movement of output per employee in one hundred and sixty industries between 1968 and 1979. It concludes that the slowdown in productivity and output growth rates observed for aggregate manufacturing industry since 1973 was fairly typical of the experience of most individual industries; and that no shift in the relation between productivity and output growth could be identified.
