In addition to some recent behavioral economics research, The Stackhouse Agency, LLC has looked at other economic figures. In reviewing the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Preliminary second-quarter 2015 measures[1], there seem to be some decreases in the Real hourly compensation percentages from the previous quarter, yet not from the same quarter one year ago.
Sectors:
Nonfarm Business
Business
Manufacturing
Durable Manufacturing
Nondurable Manufacturing
Real hourly compensation is an area of many that have been reviewed. Other changes during the year are notable. Revised figures and third-quarter 2015 measures will provide further insight into the U.S. economy.
