RE: the profit rate & recession

["Devine, James" <jdevine@xxxxxxx>]

the data that Fred Moseley and I are discussing is from the BEA and is
available at:
http://www.bea.doc.gov/bea/ARTICLES/2001/09september/0901ror.pdf or
http://www.bea.doc.gov/bea/ARTICLES/2001/09september/ror.xls.

These data are not disaggregated by industry.
