Mike, yes i wondered about that myself. the point that I would like to make is it is more difficult to generate productivity in the service sector and gov't than manufacturing. yes the computer has done wonders but the US productivity numbers are lame by historical standards. We all know that many SI posters post while they are at work and how many people follow the market at work? . Don't worry I won't name names just send me a honorarium -g- Mike

Mike: I think that was a printing mistake. The figures were messed up. "During the latest month the average hourly earnings data revealed that workers in the service sector earned only $13.18 per hour while workers in the manufacturing sector earned $11.68 per hour." Apparently the figure followed ONLY should be the lower figure. Best.
