Hi,Lee

Glad to see along with the hourly earnings increase, that overtime hours have increased. This + lower Q2:99 gdp growth makes me wonder if AG et al are in more familiar territory, procyclical earnings attributable to higher OT hours at top of cycle. And unemployment same. Although the 100k jobs over consensus will spook.
