related statistics covering about two-thirds of the entire Federal Government.
Indexes of output per employee year, output, employee years, compensation per employee
year, and unit labor cost are available for fiscal years 1967 to 1994 for selected
functional areas of Government. The program, which was part of the Division of Industry
Productivity Studies, was terminated in 1996. However, BLS continues to measure
productivity for one portion of the Federal Governmentthe Postal Serviceas
