Productivity and Technology Data

The Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics operates the Productivity and Technology Data program (CFDA 17.004) to provide, analyze, and publish data on productivity trends across the U.S. economy, major sectors, individual industries, and states, and to examine underlying factors driving productivity change.

The program produces labor productivity measures (output per hour worked), unit labor costs, and related metrics for the business, nonfarm business, and nonfinancial corporate sectors, as well as for manufacturing and individual industries. It also generates total factor productivity indexes measuring output per combined inputs of capital and labor for private business and private nonfarm business sectors, and total factor productivity measures for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries that incorporate capital, labor, energy, materials, and purchased business services as inputs.

No recent grant awards, recent opportunities, or award portfolio data are present in the source. The program description and scope documents reference historical publications including the BLS Handbook of Methods, research on the impact of research and development on productivity growth, and labor composition analysis spanning from 1948 forward, indicating a long-standing program infrastructure. However, the source provides no information on current award activity, cadence, assistance type mix, funding volumes, typical award magnitudes, or open solicitations. Without evidence of recent grant disbursements or posted opportunities, the current status of this program as an active grants vehicle cannot be determined from the materials provided.
