Between 1996 and 2013 labour productivity grew at an average rate of 2.6% per year. This performance has been concentrated in the sectors where only 30% of Dominicans work: mining (4.7% growth per year), manufacturing (5.1% growth per year) and transport and communications (6.8% growth per year). In contrast, labour productivity in only “other service sectors” (i.e., Education, Health and social services as well as services in private households), where the highest proportion of Dominicans work (24% of total jobs), decreased by -1.5% between 2005 and 2013.
