US Q1 unit labor costs +6.3% vs +5.5% expected

  • US first quarter 2023 productivity data

These are quarterly numbers, annualized:

  • Prior unit labor costs +3.2% (revised to 3.3%)
  • Productivity -2.7% vs -1.8% expected
  • Prior productivity +1.7% (revised to +1.6%)

I expect these numbers to have some market impact but productivity and unit labor costs are notoriously difficult to measure.

Best in 2026
