all those numbers are "Change from a year earlier in %" - says so clearly in every table in the report. A -0.1% thus meant the productivity in Q4/01 dropped by 0.1% in relation to Q4 of 2000.

AC, when you compare US economic stats with European it is important to understand that Europe does not annualize their GDP growth. For example, a 1% growth in GDP for the quarter in Germany would be reported as 1% but in the US it would be annualized to 4% GDP growth. Mike
