"means productive workers in the private sector most definitely did not keep up with inflation on an average basis"
What are you claiming was the rate of inflation for last year?

The closest number I saw was December 2001 - November 2002, and it was 2.2 percent. That meant that average incomes did not keep up with inflation, and, using the link you provided, non-governmental salaries went up about .8 percent - or about 1.4 percent LESS than the rate of inflation.
Thanks for the link, BTW. It's helped my case a lot more than it's helped yours.
