The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also increased 1.0 percent before seasonal adjustment in August to 221.5 (1967=100). The CPI-U was 11.8 percent higher and the CPI-W was 12.0 percent higher than in August 1978. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 1.1 percent in August, the eighth consecutive monthly increase of about 1.0 percent. For the third consecutive month, about two-thirds of the increase was due to higher energy and homeownership prices. On the other hand, food and beverage prices were, on average, unchanged in August, continuing the slowdown evident since June. Among other major categories of consumer spending, both the index for apparel and upkeep, which had declined over the previous 3-month period, and the index for other goods and services rose noticeably in August. The indexes for medical care and entertainment registered price changes in August similar to the previous month. The index for grocery store foods declined 0.3 percent in August, following declines of 0.1 percent in both June and July. The decrease, as in the previous 2 months, was due primarily to a sharp decline in the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs. Beef prices declined for the third consecutive month and pork and poultry prices for the fifth consecutive month, following substantial increases during the fourth quarter of 1978 and earlier this year. Egg prices declined 10.2 percent, following seasonal adjustment. These declines were partially offset by increases in prices for most other grocery store foods. Prices for cereal and bakery products and dairy products registered their largest increases of the year in August. Prices for fruits and vegetables also rose substantially, but by less than in July. Restaurant meals rose 0.7 percent in August, about the same as in July, but considerably less than the average monthly rate of increase in the first half of the year. The 0.3 percent increase in the index for alcoholic beverages was the smallest increase this year. The housing index rose 1.4 percent in August, the seventh consecutive month of large increases. Rising homeownership costs and household fuel prices continued to account for most of the increase. In August, house prices rose 1.5 percent. Home financing costs rose 3.0 percent, reflecting increases in both mortgage interest rates and house prices. Fuel oil prices rose 7.1 percent and have increased 56.4 percent in the 12 months ended in August. The index for gas and electricity also rose substantially in August, but by less than in each of the preceding 3 months. The index for apparel and upkeep rose 0.7 percent in August, compared with a decline of 0.2 percent in the 3-month period ended in July. Increased prices for women's and girls' apparel, reflecting the introduction of fall and Table A.

These declines were partially offset by increases in prices for most other grocery store foods.

" Data not adequate for publication. 105 Technical Notes Brief Explanation of the CPI The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. Effective with the January 1978 index, the Bureau of Labor Statistics began publishing CPI's for two population groups: (1) a new CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80 percent of the total noninstitutional civilian population; and (2) a revised CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which represents about half the population covered by the CPI-U. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups which historically have been excluded from CPI coverage, such as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the self-employed, shortterm workers, the unemployed, and retirees and others not in the labor force. The CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors9 and dentists9 services, drugs, and the other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 85 urban areas across the country from over 18,000 tenants, 18,000 housing units for property taxes, and about 24,000 establishments-grocery and department stores, hospitals, filling stations, and other types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Prices of food, fuels, and a few other items are obtained every month in all 85 locations. Prices of most other commodities and services are collected every month in the five largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained by personal visits of the Bureau's trained representatives. Mail questionnaires are used to obtain public utility rates, some fuel prices, and certain other items. In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights which represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. Separate indexes are also published for 28 local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices among cities; they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period. The index measures price changes from a designated reference date--1967—which equals 100.0. An increase of 22 percent, for example, is shown as 122.0. This change can also be expressed in dollars as follows: The price of a base period "market basket99 of goods and services in the CPI has risen from $10 in 1967 to $12.20.

John Layng, reprinted from the Statistical Reporter, February 1978, No. 78-5 (U.S. Dept. of Commerce), and Revisions in the Medical Care Service Component of the Consumer Price Index, by Daniel H. Ginsburg, Monthly Labor Review, August 1978. A Note About Calculating Index Changes Movements of the indexes from one month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in index points because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period while percent changes are not. The example in the accompanying box illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes. Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are expressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard formula for compound growth rates. These data indicate what the percent change would be if the current rate were maintained for a 12-month period.

Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change: 106 0.6 189.2 0.003 0.003x100 0.3 A Note on Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted as well as unadjusted changes each month. For analyzing general price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year—such as price movements resulting from changing climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales. *U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE: 1979 311-409/312 1-3 The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data are also used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index unadjusted for seasonal variation. Seasonal factors used to compute the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-ll Variant of the Census Method II Seasonal Adjustment Program. Annual updates replace 5 years of seasonal data, e.g., data from 1975 through 1979 will be replaced at the end of 1979. The seasonal movement of all items and 35 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 45 selected components. 107 Bureau of Labor Statistics Regional Offices AMERICAN SAMO< Region IV 1371 Peachtree Street, NE.
