Real average hourly earnings fell 0.1 percent from September to October, seasonally adjusted, the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. A 0.3 percent increase in the Consumer Price Index for
Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) slightly offset a 0.3 percent increase in average
hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory workers.
Real average weekly earnings fell 0.1 percent over the month, as a result of a decline in real average
hourly earnings and an unchanged average work week. Since reaching a recent high point in December
2008, real average weekly earnings have fallen by 1.9 percent.
Real average hourly earnings grew 2.8 percent, seasonally adjusted, from October 2008 to October 2009.
A 1.5 percent decline in average weekly hours partly offset the increase in real average hourly earnings
and resulted in a 1.2 percent increase in real average weekly earnings during this period.
Real Earnings for November 2009 is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, December 16, 2009 at
8:30 a.m. (EST).
