EMBARGOED UNTIL RELEASE AT 8:30 A.M. EST, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 2008 James E. Rankin: (202) 606-5301 (Personal Income)BEA 08-07 Michael Armah: (202) 606-5302 (Personal Outlays) PERSONAL INCOME AND OUTLAYS: JANUARY 2008 Personal income increased $32.2 billion, or 0.3 percent, and disposable personal income (DPI) increased $46.6 billion, or 0.4 percent, in January, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) increased $39.9 billion, or 0.4 percent. In December, personal income increased $54.0 billion, or 0.5 percent, DPI increased $46.0 billion, or 0.4 percent, and PCE increased $32.0 billion, or 0.3 percent, based on revised estimates. 2007 2008 Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec. Jan. (Percent change from preceding month) Personal income, current dollars 0.4 0.2 0.3 0.5 0.3 Disposable personal income: Current dollars 0.4 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.4 Chained (2000) dollars 0.1 -0.1 -0.4 0.1 0.1 Personal consumption expenditures: Current dollars 0.5 0.3 0.9 0.3 0.4 Chained (2000) dollars 0.2 0.0 0.2 0.0 0.0 This news release also presents revised estimates of wages and salaries, personal taxes, and contributions for government social insurance for July through September 2007 (third quarter). These estimates reflect newly available third-quarter wage and salary tabulations from the quarterly census of employment and wages from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The January change in personal income was boosted by several special factors. Bonus payments and gains on the exercise of stock options boosted private wage and salary disbursements; pay raises for federal civilian and military personnel boosted government wage and salary disbursements; and cost-of-living adjustments to several federal transfer payment programs boosted personal current transfer receipts. The January change was reduced by a decrease in Medicare part D prescription drug benefit payments, annual adjustments to personal contributions for government social insurance (a subtraction in calculating personal income), and by lump-sum social security benefit payments that had boosted December personal income. Excluding these special factors, personal income increased $27.4 billion, or 0.2 percent, in January, after increasing $47.0 billion, or 0.4 percent, in December. These special factors are discussed more fully below. Compensation of employees Private wage and salary disbursements increased $23.1 billion in January, compared with an increase of $23.2 billion in December. The January change in private wages and salaries was boosted by an adjustment of $15.0 billion (at an annual rate) for large bonus payments. This type of irregular payment is not accounted for in the primary monthly source data for wages and salaries. The adjustment to January wages was based on data from state governments and from other sources. Goods-producing industries' payrolls increased $0.5 billion in January, in contrast to a decrease of $1.2 billion in December; manufacturing payrolls increased $0.3 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $0.4 billion. Services-producing industries' payrolls increased $22.5 billion, compared with an increase of $24.3 billion. Government wage and salary disbursements increased $9.4 billion in January, compared with an increase of $3.4 billion in December. Pay raises for civilian and military personnel added $7.2 billion to government payrolls in January. Employer contributions for employee pension and insurance funds increased $6.1 billion in January, compared with an increase of $3.4 billion in December. Employer contributions for government social insurance increased $6.2 billion in January, compared with an increase of $1.5 billion in December. The January increase reflected an increase in the tax rate paid by employers to state unemployment insurance funds and an increase in the social security taxable wage base (from $97,500 to $102,000); together, these changes added $4.0 billion to the January increase. (Changes in employer contributions for government social insurance do not affect personal income, because employer contributions for government social insurance are also included in total contributions for government social insurance, which is a subtraction in the calculation of personal income.) Other personal income Proprietors' income increased $7.9 billion in January, in contrast to a decrease of $2.4 billion in December. Farm proprietors' income increased $0.3 billion, compared with an increase of $2.1 billion. Nonfarm proprietors' income increased $7.7 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $4.7 billion. Rental income of persons decreased $2.6 billion in January, in contrast to an increase of $2.3 billion in December. Personal income receipts on assets (personal interest income plus personal dividend income) increased $3.7 billion, compared with an increase of $3.1 billion. Personal current transfer receipts decreased $7.3 billion in January, in contrast to an increase of $22.7 billion in December. The January change primarily reflects a decrease in federal Medicare part D prescription drug payments to recover overpayments that were made in 2006. The January change in current transfer receipts was also reduced by lump-sum social security benefits payments, which had added $7.0 billion to December benefit payments; these benefit payments resulted from a recalculation of the earnings base underlying the benefits for recent retirees. The January change in current transfer receipts was boosted by 2.3-percent cost-of-living adjustments to social security benefits and to several other federal transfer payment programs; together, these changes added $15.5 billion to the January increase. Contributions for government social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income -- increased $14.2 billion in January, compared with an increase of $3.3 billion in December. The January increase reflected increases in both employer and personal contributions for government social insurance. As noted above, employer contributions were boosted $4.0 billion in January by increases in unemployment-insurance rates and in the social security taxable wage base. The January increase in personal contributions for government social insurance reflected an increase in the monthly premiums paid by participants in the supplementary medical insurance program (Medicare B) and the increase in the social security taxable wage base; together, these changes added $5.0 billion to the January increase. Personal current taxes and disposable personal income Personal current taxes decreased $14.4 billion in January, in contrast to an increase of $8.0 billion in December. Federal net nonwithheld income taxes (payments of estimated taxes plus final settlements less refunds) reduced the January change by $23.2 billion, based on federal budget projections of lower final settlements and higher refunds for 2008. Indexation provisions of current tax law reduced federal withheld income taxes by $4.1 billion in January. Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal current taxes -- increased $46.6 billion, or 0.4 percent, in January, compared with an increase of $46.0 billion, or 0.4 percent, in December. Personal outlays and personal saving Personal outlays -- PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments increased $44.6 billion in January, compared with an increase of $28.3 billion in December. PCE increased $39.9 billion, compared with an increase of $32.0 billion. Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was a negative $6.2 billion in January, compared with a negative $8.2 billion in December. Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income was a negative 0.1 percent in January, the same percentage as in December. Negative personal saving reflects personal outlays that exceed disposable personal income. Saving from current income may be near zero or negative when outlays are financed by borrowing (including borrowing financed through credit cards or home equity loans), by selling investments or other assets, or by using savings from previous periods. For more information, see the FAQs on "Personal Saving" on BEA's Web site. For a comparison of personal saving in BEA's national income and product accounts with personal saving in the Federal Reserve Board's flow of funds accounts and data on changes in net worth (which help finance consumption), go to http://www.bea.gov/bea/dn/nipaweb/Nipa-Frb.asp. Real DPI and real PCE Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.1 percent in January, the same increase as in December. Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- increased less than 0.1 percent in January, the same increase as in December. Purchases of durable goods decreased 1.3 percent, compared with a decrease of 0.6 percent. Purchases of motor vehicles and parts accounted for most of the January decrease. Purchases of nondurable goods decreased 0.2 percent in January, the same decrease as in December. Purchases of services increased 0.4 percent in January, compared with an increase of 0.2 percent in December. PCE prices -- The price index for PCE increased 0.4 percent in January, compared with an increase of 0.3 percent in December. Prices, excluding food and energy, increased 0.3 percent, compared with an increase of 0.2 percent. 2007 Personal Income and Outlays Personal income increased 6.1 percent in 2007 (that is, from the 2006 annual level to the 2007 annual level), compared with an increase of 6.6 percent in 2006. DPI increased 5.7 percent, compared with an increase of 5.9 percent. PCE increased 5.5 percent, compared with an increase of 5.9 percent. Real DPI increased 3.0 percent in 2007, compared with an increase of 3.1 percent in 2006. Real PCE increased 2.9 percent, compared with an increase of 3.1 percent. Revisions Estimates for personal income and DPI have been revised for July through December; estimates for PCE have been revised for October through December. Changes in personal income, current- dollar and chained (2000) dollar DPI, and current-dollar and chained (2000) dollar PCE for November and December -- revised and as published in last month's release -- are shown below. For July through December, the revisions to wages and salaries reflected the incorporation of the most recently available BLS tabulations of third-quarter private wages and salaries from the quarterly census of employment and wages. Wages and salaries were revised down for all six months.
