Arthur, Here is a great URL: stats.bls.gov IMO, CPI and PPI reflect prices and should ultimately reflect any inflation(wage or otherwise). In other words, if costs go up, prices would go up to maintain margins. This hasn't happened. These numbers have been relatively flat and profits have been on the rise do to cost REDUCTIONS. So everything is great, right ? But what about all those options that don't appear as a cost on the income statement and don't SEEM to be included in any of the wage numbers on this page ? (I have sent a note to the BLS to try and confirm this) Disclaimer - I am just trying to figure this out and interpret this stuff. I may be wrong and it may all be insignificant. What do you think ?? Britt P.S. How long can costs continue be reduced and what will it do to earnings growth rates when they stabalize ?
