As part of the annual revision of the national income and product accounts, revised
estimates of personal income and outlays covering January 2004 through May 2007 will be released
along with preliminary estimates for June 2007 on July 31, 2007. An article describing the revision
will appear in the August 2007 issue of the Survey of Current Business.

NOTE.--Monthly estimates are expressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, unless otherwise specified. Monthto-month dollar changes are differences between these published estimates. Month-to-month percent changes are
calculated from unrounded data and are not annualized. “Real” estimates are in chained (2000) dollars.

Wages and salaries
Private wage and salary disbursements increased $24.9 billion in May, in contrast to a decrease
of $36.4 billion in April. The April decrease reflected an adjustment of $50.0 billion at an annual
rate to the months of the first quarter for unusually large bonus payments and the exercise of stock
options. This first quarter adjustment was not carried forward in the estimates of wage and salary
disbursements for April and subsequent months. These types of irregular payments are not
accounted for in the primary monthly source data for wages and salaries. Goods-producing
industries' payrolls increased $2.4 billion in May, compared with an increase of $3.5 billion in April;
manufacturing payrolls decreased $0.9 billion, in contrast to an increase of $2.8 billion. Servicesproducing industries' payrolls increased $22.4 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $39.8 billion.
Government wage and salary disbursements increased $3.2 billion, compared with an increase of
$3.6 billion.

Other personal income
Supplements to wages and salaries increased $4.8 billion in May, compared with an increase of
$1.1 billion in April.
Proprietors' income increased $1.3 billion in May, in contrast to a decrease of $2.3 billion in
April. Farm proprietors' income decreased $3.6 billion, compared with a decrease of $4.2 billion.
Nonfarm proprietors' income increased $4.9 billion, compared with an increase of $1.9 billion.
Rental income of persons increased $0.9 billion in May, compared with an increase of $0.8
billion in April. Personal income receipts on assets (personal interest income plus personal dividend
income) increased $7.3 billion in May, the same increase as in April. Personal current transfer
receipts increased $8.9 billion in May, in contrast to a decrease of $5.9 billion in April.
Contributions for government social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income -increased $4.0 billion in May, in contrast to a decrease of $4.7 billion in April.

Personal current taxes and disposable personal income
Personal current taxes increased $9.6 billion in May, compared with an increase of $2.5 billion
in April. Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal current taxes -increased $37.6 billion, or 0.4 percent, in May, in contrast to a decrease of $29.7 billion, or 0.3
percent, in April.

Personal outlays and personal saving
Personal outlays -- PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments
increased $56.0 billion in May, compared with an increase of $54.7 billion in April. PCE increased
$52.0 billion, compared with an increase of $50.7 billion.
Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was a negative $139.8 billion in May, compared
with a negative $121.5 billion in April. Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal
income was a negative 1.4 percent in May, compared with a negative 1.2 percent in April. Negative
personal saving reflects personal outlays that exceed disposable personal income. 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 -- decreased 0.1 percent in May, compared
with a decrease of 0.6 percent in April.
Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.1 percent in May, compared
with an increase of 0.2 percent in April. Purchases of durable goods increased 0.6 percent, in
contrast to a decrease of 0.4 percent. Purchases of nondurable goods increased 0.2 percent, in
contrast to a decrease of 0.2 percent. Purchases of services decreased 0.1 percent, in contrast to an
increase of 0.6 percent.
The price index for PCE increased 0.5 percent in May, compared with an increase of 0.3
percent in April. The PCE price index, excluding food and energy, increased 0.1 percent in May,
the same increase as in April.
