Annex E: OECD estimates of unit labour cost
Unit labour costs (ULC) measure the average cost of labour per unit of output produced. They are calculated as the ratio of total labour costs to real output. Equivalently, they may be expressed as the ratio of total labour costs per hour worked to output per hour worked, i.e., labour productivity. In line with this definition, the OECD publishes on a continuous basis annual (and quarterly) data on unit labour costs and its components.
