Notice for data users who accessed multifactor productivity data between April 10, 2001 and May 3, 2001

There were errors in some of the multifactor productivity available on the BLS web site between April 10, 2001 and May 3, 2001. The errors were confined to measures for the manufacturing sector and 2-digit SIC manufacturing industries. The 1999 data for manufacturing output and materials were incorrect because of a programming error. The errors did not affect any data for private business or private nonfarm business, nor did they affect any data in the quarterly Productivity and Cost news releases.
