in contrast to an increase of $6.8 billion; manufacturing payrolls decreased $2.0 billion, in contrast
to an increase of $2.5 billion. Services-producing industries' payrolls increased $22.8 billion,

Other personal income
Supplements to wages and salaries increased $4.8 billion in December, compared with an
increase of $5.9 billion in November.
Proprietors' income was unchanged in December, compared with an increase of $11.0 billion in
November. Farm proprietors' income increased $2.9 billion, compared with an increase of $2.3
billion. Nonfarm proprietors' income decreased $2.8 billion, in contrast to an increase of $8.6
billion.
Rental income of persons increased $2.9 billion in December, the same increase as in
November. Personal income receipts on assets (personal interest income plus personal dividend
income) increased $3.1 billion in December, compared with an increase of $3.3 billion in November.
Personal current transfer receipts increased $22.0 billion in December, in contrast to a decrease
of $8.9 billion in November. The December increase in personal current transfer receipts reflected
an increase in Medicare part D prescription drug benefit payments; these payments were reduced in
November as a result of the annual reconciliation of estimated and actual prescription drug costs.
The December increase in personal current transfer receipts also reflected retroactive social security
benefit payments of $7.0 billion at an annual rate, resulting from a recalculation of the earnings base
underlying the benefits for recent retirees.
Contributions for government social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income -increased $3.2 billion in December, compared with an increase of $5.0 billion in November.

Personal current taxes and disposable personal income
Personal current taxes increased $7.6 billion in December, compared with an increase of $10.0
billion in November. Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal current
taxes -- increased $47.5 billion, or 0.5 percent, in December, compared with an increase of $37.6
billion, or 0.4 percent, in November.

Personal outlays and personal saving
Personal outlays -- PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments
increased $19.7 billion in December, compared with an increase of $90.7 billion in November. PCE
increased $23.5 billion, compared with an increase of $94.6 billion.
Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was a positive $26.0 billion in December, in
contrast to a negative $1.8 billion in November. Personal saving as a percentage of disposable
personal income was a 0.2 percent in December; in November, personal saving as a percentage of
disposable personal income was 0.0 percent. 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 0.2 percent in December, in
contrast to a decrease of 0.2 percent in November.
Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- decreased less than 0.1 percent in
December, in contrast to an increase of 0.4 percent in November. Purchases of durable goods
decreased 0.3 percent, compared with a decrease of less than 0.1 percent. Purchases of nondurable
goods decreased 0.2 percent, in contrast to an increase of 0.4 percent. Purchases of services
increased 0.1 percent, compared with an increase of 0.5 percent.
The price index for PCE increased 0.2 percent in December, compared with an increase of 0.6
percent in November. The PCE price index, excluding food and energy, increased 0.2 percent, the
same increase as in November.

average of Census Bureau data. The revised per capita estimates reflect the revisions to the population
estimates. Estimates for the complete revision period are available on BEA’s Web site at
www.bea.gov/bea/dn/nipaweb/SelectTable.asp?Selected=Y#S2.
