The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also increased 0.9 percent before seasonal adjustment in January to a level of 204.7 (1967=100). The CPI-U was 9.3 percent higher and the CPI-W was 9.4 percent higher than in January 1978. sugar, carbonated beverages, and other prepared foods also increased substantially. Pork prices, on the other hand, rose only 0.1 percent after seasonal adjustment, following large increases in each of the 3 preceding months. The index for dairy products rose 1.0 percent in January, the third consecutive month of large increases. The medical care index rose 1.1 percent in January. The increase was larger than the 0.5 percent in December, but about the same as in October and November. Charges for professional services and hospital rooms both increased 1.5 percent in January, after increasing 0.2 and 0.3 percent, respectively, in December. The January increase of 0.6 percent in medical care commodities was the same as in December. The index for other goods and services increased 0.7 percent in January following increases of 0.2 percent in each of the last 3 months of 1978. Increases in prices for tobacco products, toilet goods, and school books and supplies were primarily responsible for the January increase. The housing index increased 0.6 percent in January, compared with increases of 0.5 percent in both November and December. Homeownership costs rose 0.8 percent in January. This compares with an increase of 0.4 percent in December when property taxes declined sharply as a result of the sharp reduction in property taxes in California. The CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.9 percent in January. This compares with increases of 0.6 percent in both November and December. About one-third of the January rise was due to a 1.4 percent increase in the index for food and beverages. Other major categories of consumer spending, particularly the medical care and other goods and services components, also showed larger increases than in December. The 1.4 percent rise in the January index for food and beverages compares with an increase of 0.9 percent in December. Increases were larger than in December for grocery store foods, restaurant meals, and alcoholic beverages. Prices of beef, poultry, fish, fresh fruits, and fresh vegetables advanced sharply in January. Prices for Table A.

The index for apparel and upkeep rose 0.2 percent in January after seasonal adjustment. Declines in prices for most apparel commodities were offset by an increase of 1.1 percent in the index for apparel services. The transportation index rose 1.1 percent in January, about the same as in November and December. Most of the January increase was due to seasonally adjusted increases of 2.0 percent in gasoline, 1.1 percent in new cars, and 1.8 percent in used cars.

The index for public transportation increased 0.4 percent in January following a decline of 0.2 percent in December.

The housing index increased 0.7 percent in January compared with an average monthly increase of 0.8 percent during 1978. Homeownership costs increased 0.8 percent in January compared with 0.5 percent in December. The increase was primarily due to a 0.9 percent increase in the index for financing, taxes, and insurance which had declined 0.4 percent in December due to the sharp decline in property taxes in California. Charges for natural gas and electricity also showed large increases in January. The index for apparel and upkeep increased 0.4 percent in January compared with 0.1 percent in December.

Effective with the January 1978 index, the Bureau of Labor Statistics began publishing CPFs 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 doctors' and dentists' 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 basket" of goods and services in the CPI has risen from $10 in 1967 to $12.20. For further details see the following: The Consumer Price Index: Concepts and Content Over the Years, Report 517, revised edition (Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 1978); The Revision of the Consumer Price Index, by W. 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 on Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data 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.

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 Variant of the Census Method II Seasonal Adjustment Program. The updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977. Subsequent annual updates will replace 5 years of seasonal data, e.g., data from 1974 through 1978 will be replaced at the end of 1978. The seasonal movement of all items and 35 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 45 selected components. 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. The unadjusted data are of primary interest to con- 78 BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS REGIONAL OFFICES Region I 1603 JFK Federal Building Government Center Boston, Mass. 02203 Phone: (617) 223-6761 Region II Suite 3400 1515 Broadway New York.
