While profits are up 21.3% in the past year, labor compensation is up just 5.5%

That's a trailing indicator. 5.5% isn't horrible considering the inflation rate, but you might see this double by next year.

Wow. Corporate profits are increasing as unemployment is decreasing.

This is just awful.

Wait a minute! Corporate profits aren't supposed to grow three years in a row. It's written down somewhere.

Yeah, with this atmosphere of hedonistic individualism capitalistically exploiting the labor of the masses and wasting the peoples natural resources, there won't be much more.

The keyword here is pre-tax.

But I know we had our best year percent wise since 1955 when we had a virtual lock on the local market.
