GDP per Hour Worked by Country

US dollars at constant prices and purchasing power parities, latest year available

Ireland leads at $135.7
Reading overdue·Data to 2024

Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where a new leader takes first place.

OECD Productivity Database (CC BY 4.0): GDP divided by total hours worked, at constant prices and constant PPPs. The latest year differs by country. Ireland and Luxembourg are inflated by multinational profits and cross-border commuters. The chart draws the highest and lowest; the data table lists every country.

How much output an hour of work produces in each OECD country, on a common price basis. Ireland, Luxembourg and Norway lead; the United States is among the most productive large economies.
