Economy

Productivity estimates for nonfarm business labor were revised upwards for Q1 from a -1.6% decline to a flat 0.0%. The revision was based on an upward revision of productivity from +1.0% to +1.7%, which had the resulting effect of lowering unit labor costs from +3.0% to +2.2%.. The downward revision in labor costs also pushed real hourly compensation down from -0.8% to -0.9%, bringing Y/Y compensation down to -0.3%.

March’s new factory orders were revised from +0.2% to +1.0%, but orders for April fell to -0.2% in the first decline after 4 months of gains.

Orders increased for motor vehicles (+0.6%), computers (+1.6%), and non-durable goods (+0.4%), such as energy and food.
