u.s. economist carl riccadonna. are we near the peak or as he said, picking up steam? carl: gdp numbers say the economy is building momentum but something interesting is happening because while the initial payroll game that beat expectations, 50,000 downward revisions. this took a lot of that summer hiring heatwave out of the data. if we look at the 3, 6, 12 month rate of change, all below 200,000 now and all showing some signs of decelerating. while the economy is on a solid footing, the great labor numbers we have seen over the last couple of months are not quite as great in light of the revisions and maybe we should not be surprised because the rules of supply and demand are in effect as workers are becoming more expensive, employers are moderating the pace of hiring. i cannot say that trend is happening for certain, one month does not establish a trend but with average hourly earnings at the top of the range for the cycle, we are finally starting see see some traction between reduced labor slack and more weight pressure. david: it is one month but one thing larry kudlow says
