-Average weekly hours were up from 40.2 hours a year ago to 42.5 hours in May.- This means that most people in the survey had about 500.00 per month to spend above a month earlier. This will cause many things to happen...all good for the economy.
How did you figure that?

$52.00 per hour is above the average wage scale in my area. $150.00 would be more like it.
"all good for the economy."
Of course is good for the economy, but it's all relative, isn't it? But it's neither good for the economy when I, and counteless other American citizens, can't find employment.
