Since 1894, the BLS has conducted productivity surveys
and productivity statistics studies. There were large expansions
in the U.S. productivity statistics programs in the 1930s, after
the Productivity and Technological Development Branch was
established in 1941, and during the years of World War II. By the
mid-1940s the Branch had a staff of almost two hundred and had
pioneered in the development of plant level and inter-plant
comparisons of productivity statistics as they related to
technological development data.

For several decades the BLS had training programs for
statisticians from abroad. The Bureau was therefore the logical
resource for this training.

Statisticians from almost every European and other
Regional Productivity Centers and many national institutes sent
personnel to the BLS for orientation and training in the new Direct
Productivity Report techniques evolved in 1945. They were also
assisted in global trend and plant-level survey methodology. In a
number of cases Productivity Centers requested longer assignments
of BLS productivity and labor statisticians to advise in their
