EMBARGOED UNTIL RELEASE AT 8:30 A.M. EDT, MONDAY, JUNE 1, 2009 Janet Kmitch: (202) 606-5301 (Personal Income) BEA 09-21 Brendan Leary: (202) 606-5302 (Personal Outlays) PERSONAL INCOME AND OUTLAYS: APRIL 2009 Personal income increased $58.2 billion, or 0.5 percent, and disposable personal income (DPI) increased $121.8 billion, or 1.1 percent, in April, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) decreased $5.4 billion, or 0.1 percent. In March, personal income decreased $25.9 billion, or 0.2 percent, DPI increased $8.2 billion, or 0.1 percent, and PCE decreased $33.0 billion, or 0.3 percent, based on revised estimates. The pattern of changes in income reflect, in part, the pattern of reduced personal current taxes and increased government social benefit payments associated with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. 2008 2009 Dec. Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. (Percent change from preceding month) Personal income, current dollars -0.2 0.0 -0.2 -0.2 0.5 Disposable personal income: Current dollars -0.1 1.5 0.0 0.1 1.1 Chained (2000) dollars 0.4 1.3 -0.4 0.1 1.1 Personal consumption expenditures: Current dollars -1.1 1.0 0.4 -0.3 -0.1 Chained (2000) dollars -0.6 0.7 0.1 -0.3 -0.1 Real disposable income increased 1.1 percent in April, compared with an increase of 0.1 percent in March. Real PCE decreased 0.1 percent, compared with a decrease of 0.3 percent. The April change in disposable personal income (DPI) – personal income less personal current taxes – was boosted as a result of provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Provisions of the Act reduced personal current taxes and increased government social benefit payments. Excluding these special factors, which are discussed more fully below, disposable personal income increased $77.1 billion, or 0.7 percent, in April, following a decrease of $8.7 billion, or 0.1 percent, in March. Wages and salaries Private wage and salary disbursements decreased $1.3 billion in April, compared with a decrease of $39.1 billion in March. Private wages and salaries had been reduced by an adjustment of $20.0 billion at an annual rate in January, in February, and in March to reflect smaller-than-usual bonus payments. This type of irregular payment is not accounted for in the primary monthly source data for wages and salaries. This adjustment to the months of the first quarter was not carried forward in the estimates of wage and salary disbursements for April and subsequent months. Goods-producing industries' payrolls decreased $11.4 billion, compared with a decrease of $15.6 billion; manufacturing payrolls decreased $3.7 billion, compared with a decrease of $8.1 billion. Services-producing industries' payrolls increased $10.1 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $23.5 billion. Government wage and salary disbursements increased $4.4 billion compared with an increase of $3.3 billion. Other personal income Supplements to wages and salaries increased $4.7 billion in April, compared with an increase of $1.9 billion in March. Proprietors' income increased $4.5 billion in April, in contrast to a decrease of $7.5 billion in March. Farm proprietors' income increased $3.8 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $0.3 billion. Nonfarm proprietors' income increased $0.7 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $7.2 billion. Rental income of persons increased $2.7 billion in April, in contrast to a decrease of $3.2 billion in March. Personal income receipts on assets (personal interest income plus personal dividend income) decreased $2.7 billion, compared with a decrease of $20.5 billion. Personal current transfer receipts increased $45.7 billion, compared with an increase of $34.3 billion. Provisions of the Federal Additional Compensation Program of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 boosted the level of personal current transfer receipts by $11.8 billion at an annual rate in April and $5.7 billion in March. The provision provides an additional $25 per week unemployment payment. Contributions for government social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income -- was unchanged in April, following a decrease of $5.0 billion in March. Personal current taxes and disposable personal income Personal current taxes decreased $63.6 billion in April, compared with a decrease of $34.1 billion in March. The Making Work Pay Credit provision of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 reduced personal current taxes $49.8 billion at an annual rate in April and $11.2 billion in March. The provision allows a refundable tax credit of up to $400 for working individuals and up to $800 for married taxpayers filing joint returns. (The credit is subject to income limitations.) Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal current taxes -- increased $121.8 billion, or 1.1 percent, in April, compared with an increase of $8.2 billion, or 0.1 percent in March. Personal outlays and personal saving Personal outlays -- PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments -- decreased $9.7 billion in April, compared with a decrease of $33.5 billion in March. PCE decreased $5.4 billion, compared with a decrease of $33.0 billion. Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays –- was $620.2 billion in April, compared with $488.7 billion in March. Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income was 5.7 percent in April, compared with 4.5 percent in March. 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, go to http://www.bea.gov/national/nipaweb/Nipa-Frb.asp. Real DPI and real PCE Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 1.1 percent in April, compared with an increase of 0.1 percent in March. Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- decreased 0.1 percent in April, compared with a decrease of 0.3 percent in March. Purchases of durable goods decreased 0.7 percent, compared with a decrease of 0.9 percent. Purchases of motor vehicles and parts accounted for most of the decrease in durable goods in April. Purchases of nondurable goods decreased 0.7 percent in April, compared with a decrease of 1.0 percent in March. Purchases of services increased 0.2 percent, compared with an increase of 0.1 percent. PCE price index -- The price index for PCE increased 0.1 percent in April, in contrast to a decrease of less than 0.1 percent in March. The PCE price index, excluding food and energy, increased 0.3 percent, compared with an increase of 0.2 percent. Revisions Estimates of personal income and DPI have been revised for October through March; estimates of PCE have been revised for January through March. Changes in personal income, current-dollar and chained (2000) dollar DPI, and current-dollar and chained (2000) dollar PCE for February and March -- revised and as published in last month's release -- are shown below. For October through December, the revisions to wages and salaries reflected the incorporation of newly available BLS tabulations for fourth-quarter private wages and salaries from the quarterly census of employment and wages. Wages and salaries were revised down for all three months. Revisions to personal current taxes and to contributions for government social insurance reflected the revisions to wages and salaries and the incorporation of revised federal budget projections.
