The new and the revised CPFs are the result of an 8-year effort to update and improve one of the Nation's most important economic statistics. This report presents June data and other information on the new and revised CPI's and on the unrevised CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (unrevised CPI-W). For further details, see page 4. PLEASE NOTE: This is the last release of data for the unrevised CPI-W. In accordance with previously announced plans, the unrevised CPI-W has been discontinued. June 1978 The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers rose 1.0 percent before seasonal adjustment in June to 195.3 percent of its 1967 base. The revised Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers also increased 1.0 percent before seasonal adjustment in June to 195.3 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 0.9 percent in June, the same as in April and May. For the 3 months ended in June, the CPI-U rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 11.4 percent, up from 9.3 percent in the 3 months ended in March, and 4.7 percent in each of the last 2 quarters of 1977. The food and beverage index rose 1.3 percent in June. Although this was the sixth consecutive large increase in the food and beverage index, the increase was less than in April or May. The increase of 1.0 percent in the housing index in June was about the same as in recent months. The transportation index rose 0.7 percent in June, the same as in May but more than in each of the preceding 4 months. On the other hand, the June increases of 0.4 percent for apparel and upkeep and 0.5 percent for medical care were less than in recent months, and the entertainment index declined. Prices of food purchased in grocery stores rose 1.4 percent after seasonal adjustment in June. This was less than the 1.8-percent rise in May and the 2.4-percent rise in April and about the same as in each of the first 3 months of this year. The June increase stemmed from sharply higher prices for beef and a continued rapid rise in prices of other foods such as poultry, dairy products, cereal and bakery products, fats and oils, and sugar and sweets. These increases were partially offset by declines for fresh vegetables, pork, eggs, and coffee. Beef prices rose 5.6 percent in June, more than twice the May increase and almost as much as the substantial 6.6-percent rise recorded in April. Beef prices this June were 30.7 percent higher than in October 1977 when the current uptrend began. Pork prices, which also advanced rapidly in the first 4 months of this year, showed no change in May and declined 0.6 percent in June. Fresh Table A.

The index for food away from home—restaurant meals and snacks—rose 1.1 percent in June, more than in recent months. In the housing category, the index for homeownership rose 1.2 percent in June, continuing the rapid rise evident since the start of this year. In June, house prices increased more than in recent months and mortgage interest rates continued to move up, resulting in a sharp rise in home mortgaging costs. Among housekeeping services, postal charges rose 14.1 percent, the first major increase since early 1976. Electricity charges, moving up rapidly since early this year, rose a substantial 2.6 percent in June. The June increase of 0.7 percent for natural gas (piped), however, was less than half as much as increases in the 2 preceding months. Charges for fuel oil rose a moderate 0.3 percent in June, and charges for telephone services remained stable, as they have during most of this year. Higher prices for new and used cars accounted for much of the rise in the transportation index. The new car index rose 0.9 percent in June, following a rise of 1.2 percent in May, reflecting recent price increases by domestic automobile manufacturers and higher prices for imported cars. The used car index rose 1.6 percent in June, considerably more than in recent months. Gasoline prices, on the other hand, declined 0.2 percent after seasonal adjustment in June, following small increases in April and May. The index for public transportation declined 0.5 percent in June because of lower airline, intercity bus, and taxi fares. The medical care index rose 0.5 percent in June, compared with monthly increases of about 0.6 percent this spring and 0.8 percent early this year. Charges for hospital and other medical care services increased a slight 0.2 percent in June, a considerable moderation from the increases in the preceding 5 months. Fees charged for professional services and prices of drugs and other medical supplies increased 0.5 percent in June, about the same as in recent months and less than in earlier months this year. Among other major expenditure categories, the June increase of 0.4 percent for the apparel and upkeep index was smaller than in recent months, primarily because of declines in prices of women's and girls' clothing and the smallest increase this year in charges for apparel services. Prices for infants' and toddlers' clothing, footwear, and other apparel commodities such as jewelry and luggage recorded large increases in June. The entertainment index declined in June because of lower prices for sporting goods and toys, hobbies, and music equipment and declines in membership dues and fees for participant sports. Revised CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (revised CPI-W)—seasonally adjusted changes The revised CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers rose 0.9 percent in June after seasonal adjustment, the same as in May and slightly more than in the first 4 months of this year. For the 3 months ended in June, the revised CPI-W rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 11.2 percent, faster than the 9.3-percent rate in the 3 months ended in March. In June, the food and beverage index rose 1.3 percent, less than in April or May and about the same as the increases in the first 3 months of this year. The housing index rose 1.0 percent in June, about the same as in recent months. The transportation index increased 0.7 percent in June, slightly more than in May. The June rise of 0.4 percent in the medical care index, however, was noticeably smaller than earlier increases this year. The apparel and upkeep index also rose 0.4 percent in June, a smaller rise than in recent months. The entertainment index moved down in June for the second consecutive month. Table B.

These increases were partially offset by lower prices for fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, pork, and coffee. Prices of restaurant meals and snacks away from home rose 1.1 percent in June, about the same as in May. Prices of alcoholic beverages increased 0.4 percent, the smallest rise this year. Over half the rise in the housing index in June resulted from higher homeownership costs. The homeownership index increased 1.1 percent in June, about the same as in recent months. In this component, house prices and mortgage interest rates increased more in June than in recent months, but the rise in charges for home maintenance and repair services moderated sharply. Large increases of 2.6 percent in electricity charges and 14 percent in postal charges also contributed to the June rise in the housing index. In the transportation category, the new car index rose 0.9 percent in June, about the same as in May. The used car index rose 1.6 percent in June, considerably more than in recent months. Prices for tires and other auto parts and equipment, charges for repairs, and auto insurance also increased in June. Gasoline prices, however, declined in June after seasonal adjustment. Airline, intercity bus, and taxi fares also declined. The June rise in the apparel and upkeep index was much smaller than the increases in the preceding 3 months. This was primarily due to a decline of 0.3 percent in women's and girls' apparel prices in June, following 3 months of sharp advances. Prices for men's and boys' apparel rose 0.6 percent and footwear prices rose 0.9 percent in June, both more than in recent months, and prices of jewelry and luggage rose 2.2 percent, the sharpest rise this year. Charges for apparel services rose 0.7 percent, about the same as in recent months. The rise in the medical care index moderated noticeably in June as increases of 0.4 percent for medical care commodities, 0.4 percent in physicians' fees, and 0.2 percent for hospital and other medical care services were generally smaller than the monthly increases recorded in the first 5 months of this year. The entertainment index declined 0.2 percent in June because of lower prices for sporting goods, toys, hobbies and other equipment, and lower fees for participant sports. Changes in the unrevised and revised CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers Table C shows the June indexes and unadjusted percent changes from May for selected expenditure groups in the unrevised CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers and the revised CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. Detail for the unrevise I CPI-W using the new publication format is available on request. Further details for the unrevised CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, presented in the form previously published, are shown in tables 37 and 38. The Bureau has continued to publish the unrevised CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers after release of the new and revised indexes so that those who encountered difficulty making the transition to the new CPI-U or the revised CPI-W would have some extra time. In addition, continued publication of the unrevised CPI-W enabled those interested to compare the revised and unrevised indexes. The Bureau has now terminated data collection and index compilation for the unrevised CPI-W. Beginning with release of July 1978 data, the unrevised CPI-W will no longer be available. Two CPI's—the CPI-U and the revised CPI-W—will continue to be published. Table C.

Technical Notes on the Consumer Price Index Revision With release of the January CPI data, the Bureau of Labor Statistics introduced (1) a new CPI for all Urban Consumers and (2) a revised CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. The CPI for All Urban Consumers 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 selfemployed, short-term workers, the unemployed, and retirees and others not in the labor force. At the national level, this index covers approximately 80 percent of the total noninstitutional civilian population of the United States. The revised CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (revised CPI-W) represents about one-half of the population covered by the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). (Neither index includes persons in the military services or in institutions, or persons living outside urban areas such as farm families.) Note that area indexes for the unrevised Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (unrevised CPI-W)—both for monthly and quarterly publication areas—are terminated with publication of the June 1978 index. Regional indexes. New regional CPI's cross-classified by population size were introduced with release of the February 1978 data. These indexes enable users in local areas for which an index is not published to get a better approximation of the CPI for their area by using the appropriate population-size class measure for their region. These indexes, published bimonthly, are based on December 1977=100. The ability to produce this information results from a major expansion in the number of areas in which price data are collected for the new and the revised CPI—to 85 from 56 urban areas in the unrevised index. The sample for the unrevised index was based on the 1960 Census of Population. The 85-area design is a probability sample of Both the new CPI-U and the revised CPI-W form a continuous series with the unrevised CPI-W, For the national urban areas based on the 1970 Census of Population. Indexes by regions only and population-size, previously index and for the five areas for which indexes are published published on a quarterly basis—in March, June, September, monthly, this was accomplished through a process called and December, are also published bimonthly, starting with pivoting in which the new and revised indexes were set the February 1978 data. equal to the unrevised CPI as of December 1977. Each index has moved upward or downward from that level Source of data. Improvements were made in obtaining in accordance with subsequent changes in prices. Indexes the updated 1972-73 consumption weights for the new and for areas were pivoted in accordance with the schedule the revised CPI's through changes in sample design and shown in table D. collection methods. See table E for a comparison of the The standard reference base period for the revised and the new CPI remains 1967=100, the same as for the unrevised index. Local area indexes. The number of CPFs for local areas was expanded to 28 from 24 in the unrevised series. The four additional indexes cover Miami, Florida; Portland, Oregon; Scranton, Pennsylvania; and Denver, Colorado. With the exception of Miami (base period-Nov. 1977) and Anchorage (base period-Oct. 1967), the base period for the area indexes remains 1967=100. The U.S. index and those for the five largest cities are published monthly. Indexes for all other areas are published bimonthly instead of quarterly as in the unrevised CPI-W. (Table D.) The change from quarterly to bimonthly publication schedules for local areas indexes in the new and revised CPI's may present problems for some users of the CPI. The Bureau is prepared to provide, upon request, estimates of revised local area indexes for those months covered under the previous quarterly publication schedule but not under the bimonthly schedule. weighting structures for the new, the revised, and the unrevised indexes. Substantial improvements were also made in the method of selecting retail stores in which price data are collected for the CPI. The selection of retail stores was based, for the most part, on the results of a household survey—referred to as the Point-of-Purchase Survey—in which families across the country were asked for information on the name, location, and amount spent in retail stores for many different categories of goods and services. Data provided from this household survey have been used to develop a consistent, objective, and scientifically-based sample of retail stores and service establishments for the CPI. In addition, a major change in t.ie process of item selection for pricing within stores was introduced. For the unrevised CPI, data collectors selected items conforming to detailed specifications, which were basically the same for every store across the country. For the new and the revised CPI's, the selection of each detailed item is keyed to the sales experience of the store in which it is priced. Data collectors work from a list of fairly general categories in Table D.

The new procedure gives each variety, brand, size, etc., a chance of selection proportional to its importance in total sales for the general category in the particular store. Once selected, the same item is priced over time. As a result, a considerably larger range of goods and services is priced, giving a much better representation of the varieties that exist in the market place. Timeliness of data. Food items in the CPI—which were priced in the first week of each month in the unrevised series—are priced during the entire month for the new and revised series. This change makes pricing for the food component consistent with pricing for the other components of the CPI. The collection of prices of other items is being spread more evenly over the month, and prices collected on a quarterly cycle for the unrevised series are collected on a bimonthly cycle. Consequently, the new and revised CPI represent the month as a whole, and price changes are reflected more quickly. Presentation of data.
