Productivity trends in the mobile homes industry
John G. Olsen
Economist, Office of Productivity and Technology, Bureau of Labor
Statistics
From 1977 to 1994, the mobile homes industry experienced very
modest long-term productivity growth reflecting wide fluctuations
in demand and limited investment in new capital. However, output
has grown significantly in the past few years, along with
consumer demand. A new measure of industry productivity from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that output per hour increased
at an average annual rate of 0.6 percent between 1977 and 1994.
