Abstract
In this article, DEA-MPI model is used to measure the labor force productivity changes of American construction industry from 2006 to 2016. In the model, the numbers of managers and workers for American construction industry are used as input indicators, and the value of local and state construction, value of non-residential construction, and value of residential construction put in place are used as output indicators. Through the analysis of the data calculated by DEA, the efficient frontier and MPI of American construction industry from 2006 to 2016 is also shown. The results indicate that labor force productivity of American construction experienced a continuous decline except for the improvement from 2011 to 2013 and from 2014 to 2015. It is also found that there are gaps in labor force productivity development level among 51 areas and the 9 regions.
