Output per job: Government services O-Q SIC07, % change on Q, SA, UK

27 October 2022

An error has been corrected in the 7 October release of labour productivity estimates of output per job. Self-employed jobs were excluded from the output per job calculations. Output per hour and output per worker estimates are unaffected. This results in changes to our headline measure and industry level estimates of output per job. Quarter on quarter, output per job decreased by 0.3% and not 0.8% as originally reported. Output per job relative to the 2019 average grew by 0.6% and not 0.3% as originally estimated. The output per job dataset has been updated to take onboard the missing data. The error occurred because of a system failure. We have adopted additional system checks to ensure that this does not happen in the future. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
