What output per worker is

GDP per person employed (World Bank SL.GDP.PCAP.EM.KD) is labour productivity: real output divided by the number of people in employment, in constant 2021 international dollars. It is not a wage. Latest: $123,421 in 2025.

A higher reading can reflect more capital, more hours, a different industry mix, or a smaller employed population as well as higher pay. From 1991 to 2025 (35 years): latest $123,421 (2025), previous year $121,739 (2024); low $90,963 (1991), high $123,421 (2025).
