The department also made a series of other changes that adjust for accounting and tax-law changes. For example, the department re-classified directors' fees as a form of proprietors' income as opposed to the previous categorization as ``other labor income.' These changes had little effect on the growth rate of GDP or related measures.

Wonder if the above affected the ECI.

Wayne:

You echoed my point exactly ! Does ECI consider options compensation in any for at all ? Now that companies are compensating more and more thro options and other deferred compensation schemes, with an expanding bubble many employees are probaby demanding options instead of pay raises.

Wayne, the herd was being innundated with phony bullish news, loudly enough to cover all the eps warnings from the big tech cos. And I think that despite the rate increase, the Fed is secretly ladling liquidity to the bank enablers of margin debt. Which means the crash will be even nastier than I expect.
