CPI Detailed Report-January 2008

CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS
JANUARY 2008
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.5 percent in January before seasonal adjustment, the Bureau
of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The January level of 211.080 (1982-84=100) was 4.3 percent
higher than in January 2007.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 0.5 percent in January prior to
seasonal adjustment. The January level of 206.744 (1982-84=100) was 4.6 percent higher than in January 2007.
The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 0.5 percent in January on a not
seasonally adjusted basis. The January level of 121.895 (December 1999=100) was 3.9 percent higher than in January 2007. Please
note that the indexes for the post-2006 period are subject to revision. Previously published and revised data for 2006 and 2007 are
shown on page 5.
CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U increased 0.4 percent in January. The indexes for food and for energy each
advanced 0.7 percent, following increases in December of 0.1 and 1.7 percent, respectively. The index for all items less food and
energy rose 0.3 percent, following increases of 0.2 percent in each of the preceding nine months. The January advance reflects larger
increases than in December in the indexes for apparel, for medical care, for recreation, for education and communication, and for
other goods and services.

Note: Seasonal factors have been recalculated to reflect developments during 2007. For this reason, some of the seasonally adjusted
figures above and elsewhere in this report differ from those previously published. See the technical note on page 6 for details.
The food and beverages index rose 0.7 percent in January, up from 0.1 in December and the largest monthly increase since
last February. The index for food at home advanced 0.9 percent, following virtually no change in December. The index for fruits and
vegetables increased 2.2 percent in January, following a decline of 0.3 percent in December. The indexes for fresh vegetables, for
fresh fruits, and for processed fruits and vegetables increased 3.3, 1.8, and 0.7 percent, respectively. The index for meats, poultry,
fish, and eggs advanced 0.8 percent in January, following a decrease of 0.1 percent in December. Prices for poultry, for fish and
seafood, for pork, and for other meats each increased, while beef prices were virtually unchanged. The index for dairy products rose
0.2 percent after a 0.2 percent decrease in December as a 2.1 percent increase in cheese prices more than offset a small decline in milk
prices. The index for nonalcoholic beverages rose 1.6 percent in January, reflecting increases in prices for carbonated drinks and for
coffee. The indexes for cereal and bakery products and for other food at home rose 0.6 and 0.4 percent, respectively. The other two
components of the food and beverages index--food away from home and alcoholic beverages--each increased 0.4 percent.

CPI Detailed Report-January 2008

The index for housing increased 0.2 percent in January. The index for shelter increased 0.3 percent in January, the same as
in December. Within shelter, the indexes for rent and for owners' equivalent rent each increased 0.3 percent and the index for lodging
away from home rose 1.1 percent. (Prior to seasonal adjustment, the index for lodging away from home increased 5.0 percent.) The
index for fuels and utilities was virtually unchanged in January. The index for household fuels declined 0.1 percent as declines in the
indexes for natural gas and electricity--down 2.2 and 0.1 percent, respectively--more than offset a 4.5 percent increase in the index for
fuel oil. The indexes for garbage and trash collection and for water and sewerage treatment rose 1.0 and 0.5 percent, respectively.
The index for household furnishings and operations increased 0.1 percent in January, following virtually no change in each of the
preceding two months.
The transportation index increased 0.5 percent in January. The index for gasoline rose 1.2 percent, accounting for about
two-thirds of the overall transportation increase. As of January, gasoline prices were 2.1 percent below their peak level recorded in
May 2007. The index for new vehicles declined 0.3 percent in January. (As of January, about 76 percent of the new car sample
consisted of 2008 models. The 2008 models will continue to be phased in, with adjustments for quality change, over the next several
months as they replace old models at dealerships. For a report on quality changes for the 2008 vehicles represented in the Producer
Price Index sample, see news release USDL-07-1787 dated November 14, 2007.) The index for used cars and trucks rose 0.2 percent.
During the last 12 months, new vehicle prices have declined 0.6 percent, while prices for used cars and trucks rose 1.4 percent. The
index for public transportation increased 0.4 percent in January, largely reflecting a 0.8 percent increase in the index for airline fares.
The index for apparel rose 0.4 percent in January, its fifth consecutive monthly advance. (Prior to seasonal adjustment,
apparel prices declined 2.1 percent, largely as a result of post-holiday discounting.)
Medical care costs rose 0.5 percent in January. The index for medical care commodities--prescription drugs, nonprescription
drugs, and medical supplies--rose 0.5 percent. The index for medical care services rose 0.6 percent. The indexes for professional
services and for hospital and related services advanced 0.4 and 1.0 percent, respectively.
The index for recreation, which was virtually unchanged in December, increased 0.2 percent in January. Upturns in the
indexes for sporting goods and for admissions to movies, theaters, and concerts coupled with a larger increase in the index for club
dues and fees for participant sports and group exercises largely accounted for the January advance.
The index for education and communication increased 0.4 percent in January. Educational costs rose 0.6 percent, reflecting
increases in prices for college textbooks and charges for child care and nursery school--up 0.9 and 0.8 percent, respectively. The
index for communication rose 0.1 percent. Within the communication group, the index for telephone services rose 0.1 percent and the
index for personal computers and peripheral equipment increased 1.0 percent.
The index for other goods and services increased 0.4 percent in January. The index for tobacco and smoking products rose
1.1 percent accounting for about 55 percent of the monthly increase in this major group.
CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers increased 0.4 percent in January.

CPI Detailed Report-January 2008

C-CPI-U Index Revisions
In accordance with the previously-announced schedule, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is revising the 2006 and 2007 values
of the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U), effective with the release of January 2008 data.
The C-CPI-U was introduced with release of July data on August 16, 2002. The index in its final form employs a Tornqvist
formula and utilizes expenditure data in adjacent time periods in order to reflect the effect of any substitution that consumers make
across item categories in response to changes in relative prices. The C-CPI-U was designed to be a closer approximation to a “costof-living” index than the CPI-U and CPI-W. The use of expenditure data for both a base period and a current period distinguishes the
C-CPI-U from the other CPI measures, which use only a single expenditure base period to compute price change over time.
Because the current expenditure data required for the calculation of the C-CPI-U are available only with a time lag, the index
is issued first in preliminary form, using the latest available expenditure data at the time of publication, and is subject to two
subsequent revisions. The preliminary values for each month of the preceding two years are revised annually with release of the
January index. Expenditure data for the year 2006 are now available, and the C-CPI-U indexes for that year are now in final form.
The initial indexes for 2007 are now revised interim indexes. The C-CPI-U U.S. All Items index values for 2006 and 2007 as
previously published and revised are shown below.

CPI Detailed Report-January 2008

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.
The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data also
are used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie
compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index before adjustment for seasonal variation.
Seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-12-ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment
Method. Seasonally adjusted indexes and seasonal factors are computed annually. Each year, the last 5 years of seasonally adjusted
data are revised. Data from January 2003 through December 2007 were replaced in January 2008. Exceptions to the usual revision
schedule were: the updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977; and, in January 2002, dependently
seasonally adjusted series were revised for January 1987-December 2001 as a result of a change in the aggregation weights for
dependently adjusted series. For further information, please see “Aggregation of Dependently Adjusted Seasonally Adjusted Series,”
in the October 2001 issue of the CPI Detailed Report.
The seasonal movement of All items and 54 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 73
selected components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the
73 components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted
data will be used in the aggregation of the dependent series for the last 5 years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before
that period. Note: 48 of the 73 components are seasonally adjusted for 2008.
Seasonally adjusted data, including the All items index levels, are subject to revision for up to five years after their original
release. For this reason, BLS advises against the use of these data in escalation agreements.
Effective with the calculation of the seasonal factors for 1990, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has used an enhanced seasonal
adjustment procedure called Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for some CPI series. Intervention Analysis Seasonal
Adjustment allows for better estimates of seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements which might distort the
seasonal pattern are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. Beginning with the calculation of
seasonal factors for 1996, X-12-ARIMA software was used for Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment.
For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2008, BLS adjusted 20 series using Intervention Analysis Seasonal
Adjustment, including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels, electricity and vehicles. For example, this procedure was used
for the Motor fuel series to offset the effects of events such as damage to oil refineries from Hurricane Katrina.
For a complete list of Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment series and explanations, please refer to the article
“Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment”, located on our website at http://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisapage.htm.
For additional information on seasonal adjustment in the CPI, please write to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of
Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212 or contact Jeff Wilson at (202) 691-6968, or by e-mail at
Wilson.Jeff@bls.gov. If you have general questions about the CPI, please call our information staff at (202) 691-7000.

CPI Detailed Report-January 2008

Intervention Analysis in Seasonal Adjustment
In some Consumer Price Index (CPI) series, a process known as seasonal adjustment is used to identify and factor out seasonal
movements. The resulting seasonally adjusted data reflect an estimate of nonseasonal price movements. The CPI uses the Bureau
of the Census X-12-ARIMA software to calculate factors for seasonal adjustment of both historical and current series. Some CPI
series are adjusted using the intervention analysis feature of the Census X-12 seasonal adjustment process.
Intervention analysis seasonal adjustment allows nonseasonal economic phenomena, such as outliers and level shifts, to be
factored out of indexes before calculation of seasonal adjustment factors. (An outlier is an extreme value for a particular month. A
level shift is a change or shift in the price level of a CPI series caused by an event, such as a sales tax increase or oil embargo,
occurring over one or several months.) The result is an adjustment based on a representation of the series with the seasonal pattern
emphasized. Intervention analysis seasonal adjustment also makes it possible to account for seasonal shifts, resulting in a better
seasonal adjustment in the periods before and after the shift occurred. For those CPI series adjusted using intervention analysis
seasonal adjustment techniques the resulting seasonal factors better represent the true seasonal pattern than factors calculated
without these techniques. The seasonal factors are applied to the original unadjusted series. Level shifts and outliers, removed for
the calculation of seasonal factors, are present in the seasonally adjusted series.
When X-12-ARIMA is used to perform intervention analysis seasonal adjustment, unusual events are modeled as part of the
seasonal adjustment process. X-12-ARIMA’s built-in regression variables are used for directly estimating the effects of sudden level
changes and other disruptions and removing those effects before calculation of the seasonal factors. For a comprehensive discussion
of X-12-ARIMA and intervention analysis seasonal adjustment, see "Improvements to CPI Procedures for Intervention Analysis
Seasonal Adjustment" in the December 1996 issue of the CPI Detailed Report.
A CPI series may receive intervention analysis seasonal adjustment (IASA) if the series is directly adjusted and has a relative
importance greater than 0.5% to the U.S. city average All items CPI index. If IASA is used for a component of the seasonally
adjusted U.S. city average All items index, series which are subsets of the component series are also eligible for IASA. In January

CPI Detailed Report-January 2008

Response Rates for the Consumer
Price Indexes, 2007

This article and the accompanying tables update articles previously published on response rates in the CPI Detailed Report
for March 1991, and in the January issues of 1993 through 2007.
In an effort to measure the outcome of data collection for the CPI, the BLS calculates response rates. Response rates
measure the proportion of completed surveys to those issued and help measure the accuracy of the CPI. Failure of a data unit
to respond at either the data collection stage or estimation stage represents a loss of statistical information which dilutes the
accuracy of the sample. The BLS publishes response rates annually to assist the data user in judging the accuracy of CPI
data.
The BLS calculates response rates for the CPI-U at the data collection and data estimation phases for pricing. The
response rate at the data collection phase is the number of responding sample units divided by the number of eligible sample
units. A sample unit is eligible if it belongs to the defined target population and if it should provide information for one or
more items. The response rate at estimation is defined as the number of sample units used in estimation divided by the
number of eligible sample units.
Response rates for 2007 are presented in tables R-1 through R-17. Table R-1 shows response rates for all data included
in the CPI-U, U.S. city average, by major group, for all of 2007. Tables R-2 through R-17 show rates for current data
collection in selected areas for which indexes are published monthly and bimonthly.
The response rates in tables R-1 through R-17 are separated into commodities and services, and the shelter portion of
housing. Commodities and services are further broken down into outlets and quotes. An "outlet" is a generic term that
designates the place where prices are collected. A "quote" is a specific item to be priced in a specific outlet. There may be
from 1 to more than 50 quotes priced in each outlet.
In table R-1, it is important to note the relatively low percentages of quotes reported, collected and used in estimation for
apparel. Low rates for these items can be partially attributed to the design of the apparel sample. Because seasonal apparel
items commonly are in stores only during certain times of the year, most of the apparel sample is doubled, with each half of
the sample designated for pricing during part of the year. Thus, at any particular time of the year, a large number of apparel
quotes, although eligible, are designated out of season and are not collected.
The response rates at the data collection phase for shelter are separated into three categories. If useable information is
obtained, the unit is designated data reported. If the assigned unit is located but is unoccupied, the unit is designated found
vacant. In instances where the unit is eligible but no data are available (for example, refusals or no one at home) the unit is
designated other.
For additional information on response rates, write to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Consumer Prices and
Price Indexes, Room 3615, 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE., Washington, DC 20212-0001, or call Doris L. Johnson at (202)
691-7000, or email her at Johnson.Doris@bls.gov.

- Data not available.
NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.
NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. 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.

- Data not available.
NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.
NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. 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.
