Labor Productivity y/y reflects the ratio between the real labor efficiency and the working time spent. It is the volume of goods or services produced per working hour. Labour productivity is considered to be the driving force behind long-term changes in average living standards. Therefore, higher than expected growth may have a short-term moderate positive effect on the British pound quotes.
