Canada Labor Productivity QoQ

Latest Release

Dec 04, 2024

Actual

-0.4%

Forecast

0.2%

-0.1%

Labor Productivity measures the change in labor efficiency of Canadian workers when producing goods and services. Productivity and labor-related inflation are directly linked, a drop in a worker's productivity is equivalent to a rise in their wage. When businesses pay more for labor the higher costs are usually passed on to the consumer.

A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the CAD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the CAD.
