Performance measures and worker productivity
skilled labor. However, even at this disaggregated level, measures of labor productivity can mask considerable variation with respect to workers’ underlying productivity, either between workers, or over time. At the individual (worker) level, studies frequently use input measures, such as workers’ wages, as a measure of productivity.
