Talk:List of countries by industrial output

Factory productivity
Someone modified the phrase "UK still leads the world in factory productivity" to give a wrong meaning. What's up? Anwar saadat 13:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * UK leads the world in factory productivity per labour force attributable to industry. Labour force % by occupation for each country is available at https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2048.html Multiply this by labour force of that country which is available at https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2095rank.html The result is the portion of labour force attributable to industry. Now divide the industrial output by this number to get the $ value of factory productivity per labour per year. Among the top five nations based on industrial output, UK is on top... certainly ahead of US.
