hi samuel, all out already, i think... housing starts were 1.574 adjusted, same as last month... cant find release right now...look on idea thread, lee usually posts all econ data there... here is a current story on earnings data... kathy :) U.S. May real earnings rose 0.7 pct Reuters Story - June 16, 1999 10:15 WASHINGTON, June 16 (Reuters) - U.S. workers' real average weekly earnings, after adjusting for inflation and seasonal factors, rose 0.7 percent in May after a revised 0.8 percent drop in April, the Labor Department said on Wednesday. The May real earnings rise was the biggest since a 0.8 percent increase in January 1998, the department said, while the drop in April real earnings was the largest since a 1.2 percent decline in January 1996. April real earnings were revised from a previously reported 0.2 percent dip. The May gain resulted from a 0.3 percent rise in average weekly hours and a 0.4 percent gain in average hourly earnings. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) was unchanged in May. Real average weekly earnings in May were up 0.4 percent from May 1998, it said. In constant 1982 dollars, weekly earnings for nonsupervisory private workers outside the farm sector averaged a seasonally adjusted $271.03 in May, versus $269.22 in April and $268.53 in May 1998. In current dollars, weekly earnings averaged a seasonally adjusted $455.06 in May, compared with $452.02 in April and $441.73 in May 1998, the department said. The May report reflects new employment benchmarks to average weekly hours and average hourly and weekly earnings estimates from January 1994 forward, seasonally adjusted, and from April 1997 forward, unadjusted, Labor said.

samuel, here is the link i was thinking of from the idea thread... kathy :) Message 10138029 To: Lee (27037 ) From: Lee Wednesday, Jun 16 1999 9:24AM ET Reply # of 27071 Wednesday - June 16th, 1999 Economic Data CPI for May = unch Core rate = + 0.1% stats.bls.gov The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was unchanged in May, before seasonal adjustment, remaining at a level of 166.2 (1982-84=100), the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U increased 0.1 percent in May, following a 0.4 percent rise in April. During the first five months of 1999, the CPI-U rose at a 2.6 percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR). This compares with an increase of 1.6 percent for all of 1998.
