Productivity is still going up and according to the latest figures wage increases have been matched pretty well with that increase:

WSJ:

Last week, meanwhile, the government's report of an unexpected 1.1% rise in the second quarter employment-cost index rattled financial markets last week.

Such wage gains can be acceptable to monetary-policy makers when productivity growth rises fast enough to offset higher wages. However, recent figures suggest productivity may be cooling after a period of unusual strength. Nonfarm productivity in the second quarter rose at its slowest clip in two years, increasing a tame 1.3%.


We both agree the productivity figures are bogus but it's all Greenspan has to work with.
