"At least part of the restraint on ECI may have been linked to a decline in real estate commissions as the red-hot housing market cooled off a bit from record levels. Labor costs for the highly volatile category of finance, insurance and real estate fell 0.7 percent in the first quarter following a 1.1 percent rise in the final quarter of last year." Guess they don't have a core ECI and a non-core ECI.
