Lee, It seems that the government has substantially overestimated the inflation in the system.

Quarterly Output Revised Lower

Output in the nonfarm sector rose at a revised 4.4% annual pace in the first quarter, the Labor Department said, while hours worked advanced an unrevised 0.9%. In the government's preliminary report, released in early May, the government estimated that output rose 5%. In the fourth quarter, output and hours worked rose 7.4% and 2.9%, respectively.

The cost of labor input to produce one unit of output, or unit labor costs, increased at a 0.7% annual rate in the first three months of 1999, compared with the preliminary estimate of a 0.3% rise. In the fourth quarter of 1998, unit labor costs dropped 0.4%.
