The International Labor Comparisons (ILC) program, formerly a division of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, prepares economic indicators that are comparable across countries. Often statistics from different countries are not comparable and do not allow for meaningful comparative analysis. Using a common conceptual framework, ILC adjusts economic statistics to facilitate meaningful and accurate comparisons between countries, thus creating the ability to evaluate the economic performance of one country relative to others. The open access data consists of:
