EU labour productivity rose by 0.9% per employed person and 0.8% per hour worked year-on-year in the second quarter of 2026, Eurostat reported on 7 September. Both measures had increased by 0.4% in the first quarter.
The calculation combines GDP and employment data to measure real output per person or hour. It does not measure wage growth or an individual worker’s performance.
The Summer 2026 Lebanon Economic Monitor says renewed conflict reversed the previous year’s recovery and intensified pressure on public finances and household incomes.
