1,333.33

Explanation:

Labor productivity is measures the hourly output of a country's economy. Specifically, it charts the amount of real gross domestic product (GDP) produced by an hour of labor.

total labor hours = 25milion x 36 hours per week

= 900 million

labor productivity = GDP : total labor hours

labor productivity = $1,200 billion : 900 million

$1,333.33 per hour
