Expansion in Punjab manufacturing sector was afflicted with the declining levels of efficiency overtime. Capital formation was labour displacing and additional capital seems to be devoid of new technology, for capital productivity did not contribute to the value addition. Punjab manufacturing sector did not show ample potential to generate employment. Labour productivity grew positively during the study period; however decelerating overtime, acted as a driving force to value addition in Punjab manufacturing sector. Positive growth in labour productivity reflected positively in wages even better than the growth in employment.
