Additional Available Data

Multifactor productivity, output, capital, labor, and other inputs are developed using detailed data at a lower level of aggregation. While these detailed data are used to produce reliable measures at higher levels of aggregation, the detailed industry data can be used to construct productivity measures of inconsistent quality at the industry level. However, these data may be suitable for other uses or as qualitative indicators.  These data can be obtained by calling the appropriate contacts or by e-mailing your request.

The following data are available upon request:

  • Hours and compensation for 3-digit (1997 NAICS) manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries
  • Rental price detail data by asset type by 3-digit (1997 NAICS) manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries

File Types

The above ZIP files contain text files. A ZIP file utility is necessary to extract the files.

At the top of each file is a description of the data. Once "unzipped", the files may be viewed by a text editor or word processor. These files are well laid out in Microsoft's WORDPAD. The files can be imported into a spreadsheet, but column headings may not be clearly understood. Before importing the data into a spreadsheet, you may want to print a copy of the tables so that the table layout is clear.

How to Decompress ZIP Files

The ZIP file format combines a set of separate files into a single compressed binary file referred to as an archive. Because the archive can contain more than one file in compressed format, the ZIP format has become one of the most common ways to transfer files over the Internet. To decompress the files stored in ZIP format, the ZIP file first must be downloaded to a PC and then a file utility must be used to extract the individual files from the compressed binary file. Many file utilities are available to "unzip" files in ZIP format in the form of freeware, shareware and commercial packages. The following steps for downloading and unzipping ZIP files work for most browsers:

Click on the link with the right or left mouse button.

Choose the appropriate option in the popup or dialogue box for saving the ZIP file.

Download the ZIP file to a folder on the PC.

Use a ZIP file utility to extract the compressed files from the archive.

View the unzipped file or files using a text viewer such as WordPad or word processing software.
