Labor productivity is measured for each of 4 selected years for
each of four components of personal consumption expenditures
for food: food purchased for off-premises consumption, purchased
meals and beverages, food furnished Government and
commercial employees, and food produced and consumed on
farms. The labor productivity estimates include both direct and
supporting labor needs because, through input-output analysis, it
was possible to identify supporting labor inputs regardless of
their sectoral location in the economy.
