See page 8. As noted earlier, since the release of the January 1987 index, the Consumer Price Indexes have been calculated on a revised basis, using 1982-84 expenditure patterns and updated population weights. In addition, a number of technical improvements have been made. Over the next 2 years, additional improvements also will be introduced. See page 6 for more revision information. Price Movements December 1987 For the 12-month period ended in December 1987, the CPi-U advanced 4.4 percent. (Over-the-year changes are not seasonally adjusted.) This compares with a 1.1-percent rise in 1986 and increases of about 4 percent in each of the preceding 4 years. The turnaround in energy prices— particularly in the first half of the year—was almost entirely responsible for the acceleration in the overall index in 1987. Excluding energy, the CPi-u increased 4.1 percent during the past 12 months after advancing 3.8 percent in 1986. The 4.6-percent rate in this component during the first half of 1987 slowed to a 3.6-percent rate in the last 6 months. In 1987, the food component rose somewhat less than in 1986 despite the sharp increase in fruit and vegetable prices. The indexes for shelter and all items excluding food, shelter, and energy in 1987 each rose slightly more than in 1986. Within the latter group, however, price movements for commodities and services differed substantially between 1986 and 1987. The other commodities component, in part reflecting the declining value of the dollar in international markets, accelerated in 1987. Prices for clothing, wine, and entertainment commodities rose substantially more than in 1986. Charges for these other services, however, slowed in 1987, particularly those for medical care and transportation services. The rates for these groups during the past 6 years are shown on the following page. The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) was virtually unchanged in December prior to seasonal adjustment. The December 1987 CPI-U level of 345.7 (1967 = 100) was 4.4 percent higher than the index in December 1986. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPi-W) declined 0.1 percent in December, before seasonal adjustment, to a level of 340.2 (1967=100). For the 12-month period ended in December, the CPI-W has increased 4.5 percent. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPi-U) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPi-u rose 0.1 percent in December. This follows a 0.3-percent increase in November and was the smallest monthly advance in 1987. Declines in the indexes for apparel and upkeep and transportation, coupled with a slightly smaller increase in the housing component, more than offset a larger rise in food prices. A turnaround in energy prices—down 1.1 percent in December, following a 0.8-percent rise in November—was the principal factor affecting the transportation and housing indexes. The advance in the food index reflected a sharp increase in fruit and vegetable prices, particularly lettuce. Price increases for the other major CPI groups were about the same as in November.

Grocery store food prices, which were unchanged in November, increased 0.6 percent in December. A 5.6-percent increase in the index for fruits and vegetables was only partially offset by declines in the indexes for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs and dairy products. Lettuce prices rose 72.4 percent, the largest monthly increase for this component on record. During the past 2 months, the period of supply shortage affected by the white fly virus, lettuce prices have more than doubled. A turnaround infreshfruitprices— up 2.7 percent in December after declining 1.9 percent in November—also contributed to the advance. During the 12 months ended in December, fruit and vegetable prices have increased 12.8 percent. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs declined for the third consecutive month. Prices for beef, pork, and eggs each declined in December and poultry prices were unchanged. Over the past 12 months, beef prices rose 6.7 percent while pork, poultry, and egg prices all declined. The other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—rose 0.4 and 0.1 percent, respectively, in December. The housing component, which rose 0.3 percent in November, increased 0.2 percent in December. Declines in the indexes for fuel and other utilities and household furnishings and operations were responsible for the slightly smaller advance, more than offsetting a larger increase in shelter costs. All three major household fuels recorded declines in December, but exhibited different movements during the past 12-month period. Fuel oil prices declined 1.5 percent in December, following seasonal adjustment, but advanced 18.0 percent from December 1986 to December 1987. Charges for natural gas and electricity each declined slightly in December. During the 12 months ended in December, however, charges for electricity increased 1.8 percent while those for natural gas declined 2.8 percent. Among other utilities, the index for telephone services declined 1.1 percent in December and 1.3 percent during the past 12 months. The December decrease reflected a decline in local telephone services charges. Over the 12-month period, however, local charges rose 3.3 percent, but were more than offset by declines in inter- and intrastate toll calls. The index for household furnishings and operations continued its recent trend, declining 0.2 percent in December. Shelter costs, which rose 0.2 percent in November, increased 0.5 percent in December. Within shelter, renters' costs and homeowners' costs each rose 0.5 percent while maintenance and repair costs declined 0.1 percent. The transportation index, reflecting downturns in motor fuel prices and in the costs associated with the purchase of new vehicles, declined 0.4 percent in December after increasing 0.5 percent in November. While gasoline prices dropped 2.2 percent in December, they rose 18.6 percent during the past 12 months. Despite the sharp advance in 1987, however, they remained well below—27.9 percent—their peak level of March 1981. New car prices declined 0.2 percent in December following seasonal adjustment. The cost of financing new cars continued to increase in December—up 0.5 percent—but by substantially less than the 9.4-percent increase in the prior 2-month period. Used car prices—down 0.1 percent in December—declined for the fourth consecutive month. Despite their recent drop, used car prices rose 8.9 percent in 1987. Automobile insurance costs also declined slightly in December. The 5.8-percent advance in this component in 1987 compares with increases of about 12 percent in each of the 2 preceding years. The index for public transportation rose 0.1 percent in December and 1.8 percent over the past 12 months. Table B.

'87 4.5 3.4 3.5 4.9 6.6 6.2 3.9 6.2 The index for apparel and upkeep declined 1.2 percent in December, reflecting widespread seasonal sales for most clothing items. During the past 12 months, however, clothing prices have risen 4.9 percent, their largest annual increase since 1980. The medical care component rose 0.4 percent in December to a level of 5.8 percent above a year ago. This was the smallest annual change since a 5.2-percent increase in 1973. In December, the index for medical care commoditiesprescription durgs, nonprescription drugs, and medical supplies—rose 0.6 percent. The index for medical care services increased 0.4 percent, with the costs of professional services and hospital and related services up 0.5 and 0.6 percent, respectively. Professional services rose 6.4 percent in 1987 and hospital and related services, 6.9 percent. The index for entertainment rose 0.3 percent in December, the same as in November. Prices for toys, hobbies, and music equipment rose 1.1 percent in December following a 2.7-percent increase in November. The other goods and services component rose 0.6 percent in December to a level 6.1 percent above a year ago. Increases in the indexes for tobacco and tuition and other school fees—up 7.9 and 7.6 percent, respectively—accounted for over two-thirds of the annual increase. CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers also rose 0.1 percent in December. Reconciling Two Measures of Consumer Price Change: Third Quarter 1987 This article continues the analysis of differences between two price measures—the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Implicit Price Deflator for Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the Department of Commerce. More information on the technique of reconciliation appears in the September 1981 Monthly Labor Review1. Effective December 1985, BEA rebased the PCE data from a 1972 to a 1982 reference base2. With the use of a 1982 reference base, the residual housing effect3, which had contributed a substantial portion of the cumulative difference between the CPI and PCE through 1982, is no longer a contributing factor, because both the CPI and the PCE have used a rental equivalence measure of homeowners' costs since the beginning of 1983. 1 Jack E. Triplett, "Reconciling the CPI and PCE Deflator," Monthly Labor Review, September 1981, pp. 3-15. Subsequent reconciliations appeared in the January, May, July, and October 1982 Review, and in the February 1983 Review. 2 The November 1985 CPI Detailed Report contains the final reconciliation (running through the third quarter of 1985) of the CPI and PCE using 1972 weights. 3 See "Reconciling Two Measures of Consumer Price Change: Second Quarter 1984," CPI Detailed Report, July 1984, pp.4-6, for an explanation of the residual housing effect. A subsequent reconciliation appeared in the October 1984 Detailed Report. Cumulative differences The PCE remained higher than the CPI through the third quarter of 1987 (see table C). The current-weight PCE has advanced 19.5 percent since 1982, while the CPi-u has risen 18.4 percent. The 1.1-percentage-point net difference results from two partially offsetting factors—weighting differences and an aggregate of "other" effects. Weighting differences reflect the cumulative effect of using 1982 fixed weights rather than current, or moving, weights. These differences accounted for a third quarter 1987 fixed-weight index which was 1.2 percentage point higher than the current-weight PCE. The weighting effect, however, has been more than offset by a 2.3-percentage-point difference in "other" effects as measured by a comparison of the CPi-u with the fixed-weight PCE. Historically, "other" effects have mainly resulted from differences in seasonal adjustment methods, different market baskets, and the use of the Consumer Expenditure Survey data for determining the weight distribution in the CPI as opposed to the GNP composition used by the PCE to determine its weighting structure. The CPI did not introduce weights derived from the 1982-84 Consumer Expenditure Survey until January 1987, whereas the PCE has used 1982-based weights since 1982. This gap in weighting between 1982 and 1987 further contributed to differences reflected in "other" effects during that time. Table C.

Period-to-period differences Analysis of differences in the annual and quarterly rates of change in the CPI and PCE (see table D) makes use of the chain-weight PCE in place of the current-weight PCE4. The CPI-U rose at anannual rate of 4.0 percent from the second 4 CPI Detailed Report, July 1984, p. 5. to the third quarter of 1987, the same as the increase in the chain-weight PCE. During the second quarter, the CPI-U and the chain-weight PCE had increased at rates of 4.9 percent and 5.2 percent, respectively. The chain-weighted PCE and the 1982 fixed-weighted PCE both increased at a 4.0-percent annual rate in the third quarter. A comparison of the rates for the CPI-U and the fixed-weight PCE, showed both measures to be increasing at the same rate during the third quarter, which results in an "other" effects factor of zero. Consumer Price Index Revision The Bureau of Labor Statistics introduced a revised Consumer Price Index (CPI) with the release of the January 1987 index in February 1987. As a result of the revision, both the CPI-U and the CPl-w now use updated expenditure weights based upon data tabulated from 3 years (1982, 1983 and 1984) of the Consumer Expenditure Surveys, replacing the old expenditure weights based on 1972-73 data. The Bureau periodically revises the expenditure weights so that the CPI reflects price changes of items currently being purchased by consumers. A greatly enhanced housing survey designed to improve the rental equivalence measure of homeownership costs in both the CPI-U and CPl-w was introduced witlr release of the January 1987 CPI. The selection of the new housing sample is structured to represent optimally both owners and renters in the estimation of shelter costs. In addition, a number of methodological and sampling advances first introduced in the 1978 revision were enhanced and incorporated into the CPI for January 1987. For example, the selection of the urban areas and the allocation of outlet samples in which prices are collected for the CPI were done by the Bureau with the primary objective of producing the most accurate national CPI possible with the funds available. The CPI revision was begun as a 5-year project in 1984. In addition to the new expenditure weights and enhancements introduced with the January 1987 CPI, other technical improvements will be introduced over the next 2 years. (See, for example, *'Adjustment of Shelter Indexes for Aging Effects," page 5.) Also, the January 1987 index was based for the first time on the geographic distribution of consumers as of the 1980 Census of Population. The previous CPI used the 1970 Census of Population. The requirement to allocate the sample so as to provide the most accurate national CPI has resulted in some local areas not having samples sufficient to permit frequent publication. Therefore, effective with release of the data for January 1987, a number of local area CPFs are now published less frequently. The areas affected by the changes in publication are identified later in this article. Both of the CPi's are linked to the indexes for December 1986 to provide a continuous series. The linking was accomplished by setting the index levels of the revised CPI, with the updated expenditure weights and samples,equal to the index levels published for the previous series in December 1986. Each index has been moved upward or downward from the December 1986 level in accordance with subsequent changes in prices. As in the past, the Bureau is publishing selected indexes using the old expenditure weights for 6 months after the issuance of the revised CPI. In order to conserve resources, the overlap indexes will differ from the revised indexes only in their expenditure weights. Unlike earlier revisions, the overlap indexes are not based on the old sample of items and outlets. The reference base period for revised CPI indexes issued for January 1987 is 1967 = 100, the same as for the previous indexes: As described below, this reference base period will be changed to 1982-84=100 effective with the CPI for January 1988. In addition to the national all-city average CPI-U and CPl-w indexes, the Bureau previously published indexes for 28 local areas. In 1987, the Bureau is publishing indexes for all but one of these areas—Northeast Pennsylvania (ScrantonWilkes-Barre). Because of the" requirement to allocate the sample to provide the most accurate national CPI possible, however, 14 of the remaining 27 published areas have had a change in the frequency of their publication. Based on population growth since 1970 and the expanded definitions of the Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas issued by the Office of Management and Budget, the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area has replaced the DetroitAnn Arbor area as the fifth largest area covered by CPI indexes. For that reason, the San Francisco area is now published monthly while the Detroit area is published only for even-numbered months rather than monthly. Indexes for 12 areas previously published bimonthly are now compiled on a semiannual average basis. These areas are: Buffalo-Niagara Falls, N.Y.; Cincinnati-Hamilton, Ohio-Ky.-Ind; Kansas City, Mo.-Kansas City, Kan.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.-Wis.; Atlanta, Ga.; Anchorage, Alaska; Denver-Boulder, Colo.; Honolulu, Hawaii; Portland-Vancouver, Ore.-Wash.; San Diego, Calif.; and Seattle-Tacoma, Wash. The semiannual average indexes, which refer to the arithmetic averages of the 6-month periods from January through June and July through December, are published with release of the CPI for July and January, respectively, i.e., in the months of August and February. These series are compiled and published on their previous reference bases, 1967 = 100 for all areas other than Anchorage, which is on an October 1967 reference base. Aljso, the Cleveland-AkronLorain, Ohio, indexes are now published for odd-numbered rather than even-numbered months. Indexes were previously published bimonthly for 4 regions, S size classes, and 16 region-by-size groups. Beginning with January 1987, publication of these indexes is monthly; two of the size classes have been combined and two of the regionby-size groups (nonmetropolitan areas in the West and in the East) were eliminated. Additional details on the revision are available from BLS. Adjustment of Shelter Indexes for Aging Effects Recent Bureau of Labor Statistics research demonstrates that the CPl's for residential rent and owners' equivalent rent should be adjusted for the effects of the aging of the housing units. Currently the BLSdoes not adjust for the fact that, on average* houses amd apartments depreciate slowly through time. If the results from the revised shelter survey confirm this initial result, then an aging adjustment will be introduced with the CPI for January 1988. (The research results indicate that annual changes for the residential rent and owners' equivalent rent indexes would be about 0.3 percent larger if aging adjustments were included.) The basic research papers on this topic are available from the BLS. Consumer Price Indexes Will Shift to New Reference Base in 1988 Beginning with the release of data for January 1988 in February 1988, most Consumer Price Indexes will shift to a new reference base year. All indexes currently expressed on a base of 1967=100, or any other base through December 1981, will be rebased to 1982-84=100. Only indexes with a base later than December 1981 will keep their current bases. This base change was reviewed by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, Office of Management and Budget, and is in keeping with its longstanding policy to update index bases periodically. Selection of the 1982-84 period was made to coincide with the updated expenditure weights, which are based upon data tabulated from the Consumer Expenditure Surveys for 1982, 1983, and 1984. The last rebasing of CPI data occurred in February 1971, when the current 1967 base was substituted for the former 1957-59 base. Historical data for each CPI series on the new base will be available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For the convenience of users, BLS will continue to publish all items indexes for the U.S. city average, and for the individual local areas for which CPI'S are published, on their former official reference base (1967 = 100 in most cases). Conversion factors will also be available from BLS. Multiplication by one of these factors will rebase the related index series from its current base to a 1982-84 reference base. To help users in planning for this change, BLS is supplying the conversion factors for the U.S. City Average All Items CPl-u and CPi-w at this time; they are .3338279 and .3357176, respectively. As an example, the 1967= 100-based U.S. City Average All Items CPl-u and CPI-W for January 1987 are 333.1 and 327.7 respectively. When multiplied by the appropriate rebasing factor, these indexes become 111.2 and 110.0, respectively, on a 1982-84= 100 base. (Users should note: Because of rounding effects, there may be occasional minor differences between the final rebased index and the result obtained using the conversion factor).

Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. 56 Table 12.

Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator 82 Table 19.

Nov. 1987 Ill 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. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes CPl's for two population groups: (1) a CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 80 percent of the total population and (2), a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which covers 32 percent of the total population. The CPl-u includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the selfemployed, short-term 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 dentists* services, drugs, and the other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 91 urban areas across the country from about 60,000 housing units and approximately 21,000 retail establishments—department stores, supermarkets, 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 91 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 by size of city, by region of the country, for cross calculations of regions and population-size classes, and for 27 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. 112 The indexes measures price change from a designated reference date, 1967, which equals 100.0. An increase of 203 percent, for example, is shown as 303.0. This change can also be expressed in dollars as follows: The price of a base period "market basket" of goods and services in the CPI has risen from $10 in 1967 to $30.30 For further details see BLS Handbook of Methods, Vol. if, "The Consumer Price Index," Bulletin 2134-2, April 1984 and The Consumer Price Index: 1987 Revision, BLS Report 736, January 1987. 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. Index Point Change CPI Less previous Index Equals index point change 315.5 303.5 12.0 Percent Change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change 12.0 303.5 0.040 0.040x100 4.0 Homeownership Changes calculated from bills priced within these ranges. It should be noted that bills-priced for the CPI are not only for different consumption amounts, but may also be calculated from different types of residential rate schedules. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are not, therefore, generally suitable for use in place-to-place price comparisons. The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas and for 500 kilowatt hours of electricity (table P-l) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of the CPI. Since heating and air-conditioning requirements vary by geographic location, climate, and weather conditions, it cannot be inferred that these consumption amounts represent those used by a typical residential consumer. These bills are used merely to track price changes over time for constant amounts of consumption, to provide data for place-to-place price comparisons, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised Consumer Price Index. The Consumer Price Index (CPi) has been changed to incorporate a rental equivalence measure of homeowners' costs in accordance with plans announced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on October 27, 1981. For the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), this change was effective with release of the index for January 1983 and for the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPi-W), it was effective with the release of the January 198S index. The rental equivalence approach calculates shelter costs of homeowners based on the implicit rent owners would have to pay to rent homes that they own. The old method calculated homeownership as home purchase, mortgage interest costs, property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repairs. The new homeownership component was introduced into both the CPI-U and the CPIW in such a manner that in each case the indexes using the old and new methodologies were equal in the so-called "link month"—December 1982 for the CPI-U and December 1984 for the CPI-W. For more information, see the CPI Detailed Report for January 1983, pp. 7-13. Fuel oil. Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than one gallon. These prices are converted to a per gallon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity and/or quick payment. Energy Prices Prices are usually available for the U.S. city average, 28 large urban areas, and 16 areas reflecting the four Census regions cross-classified by four population sizes. However, not all energy commodities and services are used in every area of the country. Fuel oil, for example, is not a common heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the South and West. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA will appear, NA will also appear if the data sufficiency criteria have not been met in any given month. For example, if there are fewer than five usable fuel oil prices for a published city or region size class, no fuel oil prices for the area will be published. All prices, except for electricity, are collected monthly by BLS representatives in the urban areas priced for the CPI. Electricity prices are collected monthly on mail questionnaires by the Department of Energy for BLS. Prices for natural gas and electricity include fuel and purchased gas adjustments and all applicable taxes. Fuel oil and gasoline prices include applicable Federal, State, and local taxes. Gasoline. Gasoline prices are collected at the pump from a sample of full service, mini-service, and selfserve gas stations. Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU> values for some energy items are as follows, according to the source indicated: 1 therm = 100,000 BTU'S (U.S. Department of Energy). 1 kwh = 3,412 BTU*S (Edison Electric Institute) 1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BTU'S (U.S. Department of Energy). Food Prices In the revised CPI, actual weighted average prices are calculated each month at the national level and for the four Census geographic regions. As a result of changes in price collection methodology and sample sizes, average prices for individual cities cannot in general be produced. It is hoped, however, that regional average prices will help satisfy the need for local area data. It should be noted, however, that the average food prices in this report reflect variations in brand, quality, and size among geographic areas. Users of average food prices should be aware that these differences exist. Because a number of food commodities are not available in all areas on a year-round basis, prices will Natural gas and electricity. Natural gas prices are reported in therms, which are a measure of heating value. Electricity prices are given in kilowatt hours (kwh). For both utility services, the consumption ranges specified in table P-2 are the upper and lower limits of the bill sizes priced for the Consumer Price Index. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are 113 not appear in some months for some regions or for the U.S. city average. In other instances, sufficient prices may not be available due to temporary disruptions in supplies. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA will appear. When a price is not available from an individual store in any month, an estimated price will be calculated for the missing item and used in computing the average price. In cases where the proportion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is considered too high, the average price will not be published and NA will appear for that item in the table. Because of space limitations in the table, the description for each item is abbreviated. More detailed specifications are available from BLS Regional Offices or from the Washington Office upon request. 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 y e a r such as price movements resulting from changing climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales. 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 in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-l 1 ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Method. The updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977. Subsequent annual updates have replaced 5 years of seasonal data, e.g., data from 1982 through 1986 were replaced at the end of 1986. The seasonal movement of all items and 43 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of SO selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the SO components change their status from not seasonally adjusted to seasonally adjusted, seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before the period. 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. ir U .
