GDP per person employed (constant 2021 international $)Higher is better — rank 1 leadsPublished by World Bank Group
35 reference years (1991–2025), covering 168 to 177 countries, as published by the World Bank via its indicator API (SL.GDP.PCAP.EM.KD), converted at purchasing power parities. Labour productivity: how much a country’s economy produces for each person working in it, which is the closest thing there is to a ceiling on what its wages can be. ⚠ PER WORKER, NOT PER HOUR. A country whose people work far longer weeks will look more productive here than it is, which is why the ILO publishes an output-per-hour series separately. ⚠ It is also not the same question as GDP per capita, already on the site: this divides by the people working, that one divides by everybody. ⚠ No rank is published, so none is stored or derived.
