Notes

  • Hours come from the Labour Force Survey, whose estimates are not accredited, so neither is this series. In June 2026 the ONS corrected a seasonal adjustment error in its productivity datasets that had changed 2020's hours and output per hour by 1% to 3% in its figures by industry division.
