The reason for which the change in the labor per unit of output index is considered useful as a lagging indicator
Introduction:
Lagging indicators are those types of indicators which change only when the economy began to follow a particular type of trend either it can be positive or negative. When there is expansion in the business in terms of production, labor cost per unit reduced.
