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

Impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
Increases in the January estimates of disposable personal income and the personal saving rate mostly
result from a decrease in personal current taxes, which reflect the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
(TCJA). BEA estimates that the TCJA reduced personal current taxes by $115.5 billion at an annual
rate. BEA’s preliminary estimates of the effects of the TCJA are based in part on projections prepared
by the Treasury Department’s Office of Tax Analysis. For more information on the TCJA’s effects on
personal taxes, please see “How will the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act impact personal taxes?”
January estimates of wages and salaries were adjusted up by $30.0 billion to account for bonuses
paid by businesses that are not included in the monthly source data in the Current Employment
Statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This adjustment reflects one-time bonuses reported
publicly in response to the TCJA and was derived based on news releases covering estimates of the
number of employees receiving bonuses and payment amounts. BEA will release QCEW-based
estimates of wages and salaries, that will include both regular and TCJA-related bonus activity, for the
first quarter of 2018 on July 27, 2018.
The increase in personal income in January primarily reflected increases in wages and salaries and Social
Security benefits that were partially offset by an increase in contributions for government social
insurance, a subtraction in the calculation of personal income (table 3).
The $17.0 billion decrease in real PCE in January reflected a decrease of $24.6 billion in spending for
goods and a partially offsetting $4.8 billion increase in spending for services (table 7). Within goods, new
motor vehicle sales was the leading contributor to the decrease. Detailed information on monthly real
PCE spending can be found in Table 2.3.6U.
Personal outlays increased $33.7 billion in January (table 3). Personal saving was $464.4 billion in
January and the personal saving rate, personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income,
was 3.2 percent (table 1).
2017 Personal Income and Outlays
Personal income (table 6) increased 3.1 percent in 2017 (that is, from the 2016 annual level to the 2017
annual level), compared with an increase of 2.4 percent in 2016. DPI increased 2.9 percent in 2017
compared with an increase of 2.6 percent in 2016. In 2017, PCE increased 4.5 percent, compared with
an increase of 4.0 percent in 2016.
Real DPI increased 1.2 percent in 2017, compared with an increase of 1.4 percent in 2016. Real PCE
(table 8) increased 2.7 percent, the same increase as in 2016.

Updates to Personal Income and Outlays

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 third 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.
