Unit labor costs measure how much firms must pay out in current (nominal) wages per hour to produce a fixed unit of physical (real) output. Linder presents a graph at the beginning of the book comparing nominal and real labor costs in manufacturing, 1947 to 1993.

I anyone could provide a graph, that would be even more helpful.
