Average labor productivity is found by dividing Real GDP per capita with employment to population

	Average labor productivity
	1979	2008
Germany	42403	42451
Japan	27423	44737

For Germany, the minute increase in average labor productivity is because of increase in employment to population and not because of increase real GDP per capita.
