| Abstract: | The BLS index of labor productivity for retail food stores has been declining for sometime. This paper studies this puzzling decline in measured productivity. The results suggest that the decline in the BLS index is due to changes in services offered by retail food stores that are not incorporated into the index, and that productivity increased if these services are accounted for. |
