Quarterly Census of Employment and Wage Data Included in the Fourth Quarter of 2017
This news release includes revised estimates of wages and salaries, personal taxes, and contributions
for government social insurance for October through December 2017 (fourth quarter). These
estimates reflect the incorporation of newly available fourth-quarter wage and salary tabulations
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program.

The increase in personal income in April primarily reflected increases in wages and salaries, in personal
interest income, and in government social benefit payments to persons, specifically veteran’s benefits
and Medicare (table 3).
The $42.8 billion increase in real PCE in April reflected an increase of $15.4 billion in spending for goods
and a $27.5 billion increase in spending for services (table 7). Within goods, spending for gasoline and
other energy goods was a leading contributor to the increase. Within services, the largest contributor to
the increase was spending for household utilities. Detailed information on monthly real PCE spending
can be found in Table 2.3.6U.
Personal outlays increased $86.9 billion in April (table 3). Personal saving was $419.6 billion in April and
the personal saving rate, personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income, was 2.8
percent (table 1).
Updates to Personal Income and Outlays
Estimates have been revised for October through March. The percent change from the preceding month
for current-dollar personal income, and for current-dollar and chained (2009) dollar DPI and PCE -revised and as published in last month's release -- are shown below.

Upcoming Annual Update of the National Income and Product Accounts
BEA will release the results of the 15th comprehensive (or benchmark) update of the national income and
product accounts (NIPAs) in conjunction with the second quarter 2018 "advance" estimate on July 27, 2018. For
more information, see the Technical Note. Details on the planned statistical, definitional, and presentational
changes are available in the April Survey of Current Business article "Preview of the 2018 Comprehensive
Update of the National Income and Product Accounts." An article in the September Survey will describe the
estimates in detail. Revised NIPA table stubs and news release stubs will be available in June.
Next release: June 29, 2018 at 8:30 A.M. EDT
Personal Income and Outlays: May 2018

Statistical conventions
Annual rates. Monthly and quarterly values are expressed
at seasonally-adjusted annual rates (SAAR). Dollar changes
are calculated as the difference between these SAAR
values. For detail, see the FAQ “Why does BEA publish
estimates at annual rates?”
Month-to-month percent changes are calculated from
unrounded data and are not annualized.
Quarter-to-quarter percent changes are calculated from
unrounded data and are displayed at annual rates. For
detail, see the FAQ “How is average annual growth
calculated?”

Disposable personal income is the income available to
persons for spending or saving. It is equal to personal
income less personal current taxes.

Quantities and prices. Quantities, or “real” volume
measures, and prices are expressed as index numbers with
a specified reference year equal to 100 (currently 2009).
Quantity and price indexes are calculated using a Fisherchained weighted formula that incorporates weights from
two adjacent periods (quarters for quarterly data and
annuals for annual data). “Real” dollar series are calculated
by multiplying the published quantity index by the current
dollar value in the reference year (2009) and then dividing
by 100. Percent changes calculated from real quantity
indexes and chained-dollar levels are conceptually the
same; any differences are due to rounding.

Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) is the value of
the goods and services purchased by, or on the behalf of,
“persons” who reside in the United States.

Chained-dollar values are not additive because the
relative weights for a given period differ from those of the
reference year.

Personal income is the income received by, or on behalf of,
all persons from all sources: from participation as laborers
in production, from owning a home or business, from the
ownership of financial assets, and from government and
business in the form of transfers. It includes income from
domestic sources as well as the rest of world. It does not
include realized or unrealized capital gains or losses.

Personal outlays is the sum of PCE, personal interest
payments, and personal current transfer payments.
Personal saving is personal income less personal outlays
and personal current taxes.
The personal saving rate is personal saving as a percentage
of disposable personal income.
Current-dollar estimates are valued in the prices of the
period when the transactions occurred—that is, at “market
value.” Also referred to as “nominal estimates” or as
“current-price estimates.”
Real values are inflation-adjusted estimates—that is,
estimates that exclude the effects of price changes.

r Revised. Revisions include changes to series affected by the incorporation of revised wage and salary estimates for the fourth quarter of 2017.
1. Includes actual employer contributions and actuarially imputed employer contributions to reflect benefits accrued by defined benefit pension plan participants through service to employers in the current period.
2. Social security benefits include old-age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits that are distributed from the federal old-age and survivors insurance trust fund and the disability insurance trust fund.
3. Medicare benefits include hospital and supplementary medical insurance benefits that are distributed from the federal hospital insurance trust fund and the supplementary medical insurance trust fund.
4. Consists of nonmortgage interest paid by households.
5. The current-dollar measure is deflated by the implicit price deflator for personal consumption expenditures.
6. Population is the total population of the United States, including the Armed Forces overseas and the institutionalized population. The monthly estimate is the average of estimates for the first of the month and
the first of the following month; the annual and quarterly estimates are averages of the monthly estimates.
