(a) Sales is defined as gross non-farm product plus imports of goods and services less changes in private non-farm inventories.
(b) Corporate gross operating surplus include private corporate trading enterprises plus financial enterprises less imputed bank service charge. TFI = Total factor income.
(c) Interest paid component contains original data.
(d) By convention, zero productivity growth is assumed for industries in the non-market sector, mainly government and some service industries. Therefore, a better indicator of productivity change is provided by the series showing market sector constant price gross product per hour worked.
