The Conference Board International Labor Comparisons


International Labor Comparisons Program (Discontinued)

The International Labor Comparisons (ILC) program prepares economic indicators that are comparable across countries. ILC examines country data series, identifies areas where concepts are not aligned, and adjusts series to a comparable basis. The program is dedicated to producing economic indicators that allow for meaningful comparative analysis and planning in a global context.

The Conference Board no longer updates the ILC series. This page features archived ILC datasets. The Manufacturing Productivity & Unit Labor Cost and Manufacturing Hourly Compensation Costs datasets have been transferred to The Jus Semper Global Alliance who will be working on updating these series.
