February 6, 2003 USFinancialData THE WEEK’S HIGHLIGHTS: ■ According to the preliminary report, output per hour (labor productivity) in the nonfarm business sector fell at a 0.2 percent annual rate during the fourth quarter of 2002. Through the first three quarters, productivity had risen at a 5.2 percent rate. After rising at a 5.4 percent rate during the third quarter, hourly compensation in the nonfarm business sector rose at a 4.6 percent rate in the fourth quarter. Accordingly, unit labor costs (productivity-adjusted hourly compensation) increased at a 4.8 percent rate in the fourth quarter, the largest increase in nearly two and a half years. In 2002 (fourth quarter 2001 to fourth quarter 2002), nonfarm labor productivity increased 3.8 percent, the largest increase in 10 years. ■ Initial claims for state unemployment insurance benefits totaled 391,000 for the week ending Feb. 1. The latest four-week moving average totaled 384,750, the smallest total since the week ending Nov. 30, 2002. ■ In January, the Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) diffusion index of manufacturing activity measured 53.9 percent, which was 1.3 percentage points less than a month earlier, but 4.1 percentage points more than a year earlier. The ISM index of business activity in the nonmanufacturing sector measured 54.5 percent in January, 0.3 percentage points more than the previous month. A diffusion index above 50 percent indicates expanding activity. ■ Measured in 1996 dollars, private construction spending rose $3.9 billion, or 0.8 percent, in December. Real public construction spending rose $1.1 billion, or 0.6 percent. All data are seasonally adjusted unless otherwise indicated.
