Starting with this report, the revised CPI-W will be referred to as the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). In accordance with previously announced plans, the unrevised CPI was discontinued after data for June 1978 were published. July 1978 The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers rose 0.7 percent before seasonal adjustment in July to 196.7 percent of its 1967 base. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers also increased 0.7 percent before seasonal adjustment in July to 196.7 percent of its 1967 base. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.5 percent in July. This compared with increases of 0.9 percent in each of the previous 3 months and was the smallest rise since last December's 0.4 percent. The slowdown was primarily due to declines in some food and clothing prices. The index for food and beverages was unchanged in July, following 6 months of sharp increases. The apparel and upkeep index declined 0.6 percent in July, the first decline in 5 months. The 0.8 percent rise in the housing index in July compares with an average monthly increase of 1.0 percent in the preceding 4 months. The July increase of 0.7 percent for transportation and 0.5 percent for medical care were the same as in June. The entertainment index rose 0.6 percent in July after declining in June, and the index for other goods and services rose 1.3 percent in July, the sharpest increase this year. The index for food at home declined 0.4 percent in July after an average monthly increase of 1.6 percent in the first half of this year. This decline—the first since July of last year—was primarily due to lower prices for meats. Beef prices declined 2.2 percent after moving up rapidly in the preceding 8 months. Pork prices fell 4.0 percent in July, following a decrease of 0.6 percent in June. Fresh vegetable and egg prices also declined in July, and the downtrend in coffee prices continued for the thirteenth month. Prices for most other foods rose in July. Price increases for poultry, sugar and sweets, and fats and oils, however, were smaller than in recent months. The index for food away from home—restaurant meals and snacks—rose 0.8 percent in July, about the same as in recent months. The decline in the apparel and upkeep index in July resulted from lower prices for apparel commodities, par- Table A.

Women's and girls5 clothing prices declined 1.9 percent in July following a smaller decrease in June and large increases last spring. Footwear prices rose sharply in May and June before declining 0.5 percent in July. The July increases in prices for men's and boys' clothing and other apparel commodities such as jewelry and luggage were much smaller then in June. Charges for apparel services increased 0.4 percent in July, the same as in June and much less than earlier this year. In the housing category, the homeownership index rose 1.2 percent in July, about the same as the monthly increase in the first half year. The July rise reflected large increases in house prices, mortgage interest rates, and charges for home maintenance and repair services. The index for residential rent rose 0.5 percent in July, slightly less than in recent months. The index for fuels and other utilities also rose 0.5 percent in July, about half as much as in recent months. Charges for electricity declined in July following 5 months of sharp advances, and fuel oil prices showed no change; prices for natural gas, however, increased 0.7 percent, the same as in June, and charges for water and sewerage advanced 1.5 percent, considerably more than in recent months. The increase of 0.5 percent in the index for household furnishings and operations in July was smaller than in recent months. The furniture and bedding index declined, and the index for appliances including television and electronic equipment showed no change in July; both indexes had risen at relatively rapid rates in recent months. Prices for housekeeping supplies and housekeeping services continued to move up—0.7 percent and 1.0 percent, respectively, in July. The transportation index rose 0.7 percent in July, the same as in May and June. Over one-fourth of the July rise was due to gasoline prices which rose 0.8 percent after holding relatively stable during the first 6 months of this year. The new car index rose 0.8 percent in July, following increases of 0.9 percent in June and 1.2 percent in May. The used car index rose 0.7 percent in July, less than half the June rise and the same as the May rise. After declining earlier this year, charges for auto insurance rose 0.6 percent in June and 0.7 percent in July. In the public transportation component, intracity mass transit, taxicab, and train fares rose in July, but airline fares declined for the third consecutive month. Among other expenditure categories, the medical care index rose 0.5 percent in July, the same as in June; medical care commodities rose 0.4 percent and medical care services 0.5 percent, both about the same as in June and less than increases earlier this year. Higher prices for reading materials and entertainment services contributed to the July rise in the entertainment index. The sharp rise in the index for other goods and services in July was mostly due to higher prices for tobacco products. CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W)— seasonally adjusted changes The CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers rose 0.5 percent in July after seasonal adjustment, compared with increases of 0.9 percent in May and June. The index for food and beverages showed no change in July, after 6 months of sharp advances. The apparel and upkeep index declined 0.5 percent in July following 4 months of relatively large increases. The housing index rose 0.8 percent, less than the May and June increases of 1.0 percent. The July increase of 0.7 percent in the transportation index was the same as in June, but the increase of 0.6 percent in the medical care index was slightly larger. The entertainment index rose 0.5 percent in July after declining for 2 months; and the index for other goods and services rose 1.4 percent in July, considerably more than earlier increases this year. In the food and beverage category, the index for food at home declined 0.4 percent in July primarily because of lower prices for beef and pork. Prices for coffee and eggs Table B.

The index for food away from home increased 0.7 percent in July, somewhat less than in May and June. Lower prices for women's and girls' clothing accounted for much of the July decline in the apparel and upkeep index. Prices for infants' and toddlers' clothing and other apparel commodities such as sewing materials and notions also moved down in July. Among the major components in the housing category, homeownership costs continued to advance rapidly, rising 1.2 percent in July. Residential rent rose 0.6 percent, the same as in June; however, increases of 0.4 percent for fuel and other utilities and 0.3 percent for household furnishings and operations in July were considerably smaller than in May or June. The July rise in the transportation index reflected the first large increase in gasoline prices this year, as well as higher prices for new and used cars, tires, auto repairs, and auto insurance. Fares for all types of public transportation rose in July except airline fares which declined for the third consecutive month. In the medical care category, the July increases of 0.5 percent for medical care commodities and 0.6 percent for medical care services were somewhat larger than in June. The upturn in the entertainment index in July was due to higher prices for sporting goods, toys and hobbies, and reading materials; prices for these commodities either declined or showed small changes in June. Among other goods and services, prices for tobacco products rose 3.1 percent in July reflecting recent increases in manufacturers' prices. Chart 1.

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 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 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: 78 0.8 189.2 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. The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they acutally pay. Unadjusted data are also used extensiveh 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. 79 *U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE: 1978 261-011/910 1-3 BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS REGIONAL OFFICES 3 Region I 1603 JFK Federal Building Government Center Boston, Mass. 02203 Phone: (617) 223-6761 Region II Suite 3400 1515 Broadway New York.
