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: $87,948 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 $87,948 (2025), previous year $87,799 (2024); low $66,624 (1991), high $89,318 (2022).
