Fig. 8.2 Labor productivity (Production value/number of persons employed) growth rate in
averages (over the period 2004-2011 and across the 30 Portuguese NUTs III) for the different
forms of the manufacturing sector considered

and Alentejo Litoral are the Portuguese NUTs III with the biggest productivity
growth rate.
From Fig. 8.2 it is possible to verify that there is no data for the tobacco industry
and for the manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products, and fuel pellets. The
clothing industry shows a negative productivity growth rate over the period con-
sidered and across the different manufacturing sectors considered. The manufacture
of chemicals and man-made fibers, except pharmaceuticals, manufacture of elec-
trical equipment, and other manufacturing are the industries with a larger produc-
tivity growth rate in the Portuguese NUTs III.
