Bill, do you know if these employment numbers include temporary workers and their salaries? Many professionals (IT a big area) are opting for the temp route and those wage levels have been soaring. In addition, it is not uncommon for new hires to receive sign on bonuses when changing companies. I bet those are excluded from the wage base.

There is inflation in compensation and it is not being captured and/or reported. It isn't always pricing weakness causing the current profit drought -g-

ps I ignored discussing options since we all know that is mythical compensation....nevermind it shows up in W-2's ho ho ho
