from FRED: "The efficiency at which labor hours are utilized in producing output of goods and services, measured as output per hour of labor."

The solow residual is technically total factor productivity but is generally accepted as labor productivity. it's just an accounting identity that is estimated along with GDP and other vaguely useful but not very accurate measurements like the unemployement numbers.
