The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 1.2 percent before seasonal adjustment in July to 219.4 (1967=100). The CPI-U was 11.3 percent higher and the CPI-W was 11.5 percent higher than in July 1978. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 1.0 percent in July, the seventh consecutive monthly increase of appoximately 1.0 percent. About two-thirds of the increase in July was due to higher energy and homeownership prices as the transportation and housing components continued to advance sharply. The 0.1 percent increase in the food and beverage index was about the same as in June and considerably smaller than the average monthly increase of 1.1 percent in the first 5 months of this year. Most other major categories of consumer spending in July also registered price changes similar to those of the previous month. The 0.7 percent increase in the index for entertainment was substantially larger than the 0.1 percent increase in June but about the same as the average monthly increases during the first 5 months of the year. The index for grocery store foods declined 0.1 percent in July, the same as in June, due primarily to a 2.7 percent decline in the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs. Beef prices declined for the second consecutive month and pork and poultry prices for the fourth consecutive month after substantial increases during the fourth quarter of 1978 and earlier this year. Egg prices declined 4.5 percent after seasonal adjustment. These declines were partially offset by increases in prices for both fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, coffee, bread, and other cereal and bakery products. Restaurant meals rose 0.6, in July, considerably less than the average monthly rate of increase in the first half of this year. The housing index rose 1.2 percent in July, the sixth consecutive month of large increases. Rising homeownership costs and household fuel prices continued to account for most of the increase. In July, house prices rose 1.2 percent. Home financing costs rose 2.7 percent, reflecting increases in both mortgage interest rates and house prices. Charges for home maintenance and repairs rose 0.8 percent. Fuel oil prices, up 6.2 percent, rose sharply in July for the sixth consecutive large increase. The index for gas and electricity also rose substantially in July but by less than in May or June. The index for apparel and upkeep declined 0.1 percent in July, the same as in June, following no change in May. The decline was primarily due to decreases in the prices of women's and girls' apparel which offset moderate increases in other apparel goods and apparel services. The transportation component advanced sharply for the ninth consecutive month in July. Gasoline prices rose 5.0 percent and accounted for over four-fifths of the transportation increase. In the 12 months ended in July, gasoline prices increased 42.0 percent. New car prices rose 0.8 percent in July compared with 0.5 percent in June. Used car prices declined for the fifth consecutive month after showing large increases in each of the 10 preceding months. The index for public transportation rose 1.5 percent in July compared with an increase of 0.1 percent in June. Airline fares, intercity train and bus fares, and taxi fares all showed substantial increases. Table A.

CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W)—seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers rose 1.0 percent in July, the seventh consecutive increase of 1.0 percent or more.

Prices for grocery store foods showed no change on average, following a 0.1 percent decline in June. A 2.6 percent decline in the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs offset larger increases in July in most other major grocery store foods. Beef prices, which declined in June, increased 0.1 percent in July, substantially less than earlier this year. Pork and poultry prices declined for the fourth consecutive month.

The index for apparel and upkeep rose 0.2 percent in July, after declining in each of the 2 preceding months. Increases in prices for men's and boys' clothing, footwear, and apparel services offset declines in prices for women's, girls', and infants' and toddlers' clothing.

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 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. Index Point Change CPI Less previous index Equals index point change: 189.8 189.2 0.6 Percent Change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals: Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change: 77 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 changeoven, holidays, and sales. *U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE: 1979 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. 281-406/311 1-3 78 Bureau of Labor Statistics Regional Offices GUAM AMERICAN SAMOA Region IV 1371 Peachtree Street, NE.
