Source: Euler Hermes Methodological Note:


A proxy for productivity by state can be calculated as follows: > Gross State Product (GSP) in the manufacturing sector is known and can be divided into 52 weeks; >then the number of employees and the average number of weekly hours can be multiplied to determine the total number of “employee-hours/week”; > when this number is divided into GSP/week, the result is GSP/employee- hour. Conceptually, this is the dollar amount of output created by one worker in one hour. A proxy for Unit Labor Costs can be derived made simply by divi- ding GSP by total compensation (wages and benefits), effectively showing how many dollars of GSP are created by each dollar of total compensation. The combined ranking is the simple average of the productivity and cost ranks.

*A right-to-work state is one where employees are not required to join a union if one is in place, with the general effect of keeping total compensation lower than that in states where union labor dominates
