In the second quarter of 2024, the nonfinancial corporate sector unit labor costs increased by 1.3 percent in the United States. The data are seasonally adjusted at annual rates.

Increases in hourly compensation increase unit labor costs; labor productivity increases offset compensation increases and lower unit labor costs.
