Hello MM,..Re:.I also feel the statistics are too confusing, and can be manipulated too many different ways according to each interpreter's bias. I expect statisticians to keep moving the goalposts as suits their preference.

Because statistics are sometimes misleading, I always found it helpful to just notice the trend in productivity growth and compensation over time.<g> These graphs are current as of May 3, 2000 according to the Fed site.

Also interesting to note on charts is where or from what base Unit Labor Costs is rising.

The productivity debate has been going on awhile - some history FWIW. <g>

So you're right, it's difficult to make a sound argument or judgement from a single month's data point.

Cheers,

Lee
