Maybe not exactly what you have in mind, but you might be interested in a little book from 1994 called "Labor Statistics and Class Struggle" in which the author, Marc Linder, reviews the history of "unit labor costs" in the BLS. Unit labor costs measure how much firms must pay out in current (nominal) wages per hour to produce a fixed unit of physical (real) output. Linder presents a graph at the beginning of the book comparing nominal and real labor costs in manufacturing, 1947 to 1993.
