    At first I just thought it was the difference between monthly and yearly (up 3.4 over the year, but only 1.3 from the previous month), but it specifically said year to year.

    Im thinking theyre using the weekly wages, which actually went down from jan vs the hourly wage which went up. Not sure why they dont correlate, but thats based on their same statistics.

    Does the hourly table only track hourly employees, or does it factor in salaried too?

    Before the QSS data, economists had expected that GDP growth for the October-December quarter would be cut to between a 2.0 percent and 2.3 percent annualized rate from the 2.6 percent pace reported last month.
    Based on the QSS data, economists at JPMorgan estimated that fourth-quarter GDP could be cut to a 1.8 percent rate when the government publishes its revision next Thursday. According to JPMorgan economist Daniel Silver the revisions to fourth-quarter GDP would be centered around consumer spending and investment in intellectual property products.
