What it measuresReal Earnings, in one paragraph
Real Earnings restates average hourly and weekly earnings in constant dollars using the same month of CPI data, which is why it is published in the same slot as the Consumer Price Index rather than on its own schedule.
What JMM reads first
This is the release that answers the question the other two only imply: did pay beat prices. It shares a release minute with CPI because it is built from it, so a reader who watches CPI alone is reading the numerator without the denominator.
