Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages Included in the Third Quarter of 2019
This release includes revised estimates of wages and salaries, personal taxes, and contributions for
government social insurance for July through September 2019 (third quarter). These estimates reflect
the incorporation of new third-quarter data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Quarterly Census of
Employment and Wages.

1

The increase in personal income in January primarily reflected increases in compensation of employees
and social security benefit payments (related to annual cost of living adjustments), and other
government social benefits to persons, which includes the Affordable Care Act refundable tax credit
(table 3).
The $12.9 billion increase in real PCE in January reflected increases of $2.2 billion in spending for goods
and $10.3 billion in spending for services (table 7). Within goods, new motor vehicles was the leading
contributor to the increase. Within services, the largest contributor to the increase was spending for
food services and accommodations. Detailed information on monthly real PCE spending can be found on
Table 2.3.6U.
Personal outlays increased $27.0 billion in January (table 3). Personal saving was $1.33 trillion in
January, and the personal saving rate, personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income,
was 7.9 percent (table 1).
Updates
Estimates have been updated for July through December 2019. Revised and previously published
changes from the preceding month for current-dollar personal income, and for current-dollar and
chained (2012) dollar DPI and PCE, are shown below.

Real values are inflation-adjusted estimates—that is,
estimates that exclude the effects of price changes.

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?”
Calendar years and quarters. Unless noted otherwise,
annual data are presented on a calendar-year basis (i.e.,
covering January through December). Quarterly data are
presented on a calendar-quarter basis (i.e., Q1 = January,
February, March; Q2 = April, May, June; Q3 = July, August,
September; Q4 = October, November, December).

Definitions
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.

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?”
Quantities and prices. Quantities, or “real” volume
measures, and prices are expressed as index numbers with
a specified reference year equal to 100 (currently 2012).
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 (2012) 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.

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

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

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.”

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. Note that mortgage interest paid by households is an expense item in the calculation of rental income of persons.
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.
