Market services: productivity benchmarks for the UK
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to analyze labor productivity in market services in three service sectors in France, Germany, the UK, and the US in 1993. The service sectors, which included distribution, transport and communication, were referred to as market services. Results indicated that the market services accounted for 34 to 43% of the total employment in the countries. Findings also showed differences in the time series pattern of relative productivity in market services from the manufacturing industry.
