In the third quarter of 2023, the nonfinancial corporate sector unit labor costs increased by 1.2 percent in the United States. The data are seasonally adjusted at annual rates. Unit labor costs describe the relationship between compensation per hour and productivity, or real output per hour, and can be used as an indicator of inflationary pressure on producers. Increases in hourly compensation increase unit labor costs; labor productivity increases offset compensation increases and lower unit labor costs.
