Starting with the "productivity versus compensation" thing, I decided to look at aggregate totals rather than "per hour" numbers, and switched from "real" to "nominal" data. We're not looking at growth now, but we are looking at income and cost.
I figured compensation as a percent of current dollar output. Guess what it looks like: Labor share.

The spam filter's been acting up again lately. I'm aware, and checking it often.
Oh, what fun they must have with this at Blogger!
