The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPi-W) increased 0.9 percent before seasonal adjustment in May to 269.1 (1967 = 100). Both the CPI-U and the CPI-W were 9.8 percent higher than in May 1980. water and sewage maintenance rose substantially. Fuel oil prices, however, declined for the second consecutive month, following large increases earlier this year. The food and beverage component declined 0.2 percent as grocery store prices decreased 0.5 percent. A sharp drop in prices for fresh fruits and vegetables was primarily responsible for the May decrease. Prices for sugar and artificial sweeteners, nonalcoholic beverages, and dairy products also declined in May. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs, however, increased slightly, following substantial declines in each of the first 4 months of the year. Increases in beef prices offset decreases in prices of poultry, eggs, and fish. Pork prices were unchanged in May, following decreases earlier this year. Prices for the other two components of the food and beverage index—restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages—rose 0.3 and 0.6 percent, respectively. The transportation component increased 0.3 percent in May. The new car index rose 2.4 percent in May, following a 1.8 percent increase in April. The increase reflects both domestic and foreign manufacturers' price increases and a termination of rebate programs by domestic manufacturers. Automobile finance charges rose 3.8 percent. Gasoline prices, on the other hand, declined 1.5 percent, following a 1.4 percent decrease in April. The index for public transportation increased 0.2 percent in May, the smallest increase in over 2 years. The index for apparel and upkeep declined 0.2 percent in May, following seasonal adjustment. A decline in prices for women's and girls' clothing, reflecting early summer sales, was primarily responsible for the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI for All Urban Consumers rose 0.7 percent in May, following increases of 0.4 percent in April and 0.6 percent in March. The housing component, primarily reflecting higher mortgage interest rates and house prices, advanced sharply and accounted for over four-fifths of the increase in the May CPI. The indexes for medical care and other goods and services also rose substantially. The transportation index rose moderately, following a slight decline in April and large increases earlier this year. The entertainment component also registered a moderate increase. On the other hand, both the food and beverages and apparel and upkeep components declined. Rising shelter costs accounted for most of the 1.3 percent increase in the housing component in May. Home financing costs rose 2.9 percent, reflecting an increase of 2.1 percent in mortgage interest rates and 0.9 percent in house prices. Property insurance costs rose 1.1 percent. The 0.8 percent increase in rent was the largest since last October. Prices for fuels and utilities advanced 0.9 percent as charges for natural gas, electricity, and Table A.

Prices for men's and boys' clothing and footwear registered moderate increases, while charges for apparel services rose 0.7 percent. For the fourth consecutive month, the index for medical care rose 0.9 percent. Charges for medical care services rose 0.8 percent. The physicians' fees and hospital room components increased 1.1 and 0.3 percent, respectively. The index for medical care commodities advanced substantially, increasing 1.3 percent. The index for other goods and services rose 1.2 percent. Increases in prices for tobacco products, toilet goods, and bank service charges were primarily responsible for the rise. The entertainment component rose 0.5 percent in May, following a 0.2 percent increase in April. CPI-U Experimental Measures BLS publishes in each release experimental CPI-U measures using alternative homeowner ship approaches. (See table C for monthly data on all alternative measures of homeownership.) May increases in these indexes ranged from 0.4 to 0.8 percent, after seasonal adjustment. The most closely watched experimental measures—the CPI-U All Items using rent substitution (X-l) and the CPI-U All Items using outlays with average interest costs (X-5)—increased 0.4 percent in May, less than the official CPI-U. The 12-month changes in the CPIu All Items from May 1980 were 9.6 percent for X-l and 10.1 percent for X-5. The official CPI-U rose 9.8 percent over this period. 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 0.6 percent. The housing component rose 1.3 percent and accounted for over four-fifths of the May increase. Home financing costs advanced 3.0 percent, reflecting a 2.1 percent increase in mortgage interest rates and a 1.0 percent increase in house prices. The index for fuels and utilities advanced 0.8 percent despite a decrease in fuel oil prices Compound annual rate 3 months ended May 1981 as charges for gas and electricity rose 1.5 percent. The food and beverage component declined 0.2 percent, primarily due to a sharp drop in prices for fresh fruits and vegetables. Beef prices, however, advanced for the first time this year, rising 0.7 percent in May. The transportation component rose 0.3 percent as increases in new car prices and automobile finance charges offset a 1.5 percent decline in gasoline prices. Apparel prices were unchanged on average in May and the index for medical care rose 0.7 percent, somewhat less than in recent months. Increases in prices for tobacco products, toilet goods, and bank service charges were responsible for a 1.2 percent increase in the other goods and services component. The index for entertainment rose 0.3 percent, the same as in March and April. Consumer Price Indexes Will Shift to New Base Next Year Beginning with the release of January 1982 data in February 1982, most Consumer Price Indexes will shift to a new base year. All indexes currently expressed on a base of 1967 = 100, or any other base through December 1976, will be rebased to 1977 = 100. Only indexes with a base later than December 1976 will keep their current base. The new base was established by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, for use by all Federal government statistical agencies in line with the longstanding policy that index bases be updated periodically. (See Technical Note, "Federal agencies updating base year of indexes to 1977," in the February 1981 issue of Monthly Labor Review.) The last previous rebasing of CPI data occurred in January 1971, when the current 1967 base was substituted for the former 1957-59 base. Historical data for each CPI series on the new base will be available from BLS on request. For the convenience of users, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will continue to publish all items indexes for the U.S. city average, as well as for the 28 local areas for which CPI'S are available, on their former official reference base (1967 = 100 in most cases).

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 form 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. 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 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 CPIu. 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, short-term 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. 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: 236.4 233.2 3.2 Percent Change Index point difference Divided by the previous index Equals: Results multiplied by one hundred Equals percent change: 78 3.2 233.2 0.014 0.014x100 1.4 units, not just changes in rents for units that are typically owner occupied. The CPI rent component is, therefore, not appropriate for this measure. Experimental Measure X-2: (1) The weight for this user cost method includes expenditures for mortgage interest, property taxes, property insurance, maintenance and repairs, the estimated base-period cost of homeowners' equity in their houses, and the offset to shelter costs resulting from the estimated appreciation of house values in the base period. This measure covers the entire stock of owned houses. To derive the weights for mortgage interest costs and equity costs, the total value of the housing stock in the base period was apportioned into its debt and equity components. The debt component equals the amount owed and the equity component is the amount owned, i.e., payments on principal plus appreciation from the time of purchase to the base period. Each component was subsequently multiplied by the average mortgage interest rate in the base period to determine its cost. (2) Prices used are current ones except for the appreciation term which uses a 5-year moving average of the changes in appreciation rates. Experimental Measure X-3: (1) The weights are the same as in Experimental Measure X-2, except that mortgage interest costs are calculated as the total interest amount paid out by homeowners in the base period. As in X-l and in X-2, this measure covers the entire homeowner population. (2) The prices for all components except mortgage interest costs and appreciation are current monthly prices. As in X-2, appreciation is represented by a 5-year moving average of the changes in house prices. However, X-3, uses past and current mortgage interest costs in a 15-year weighted moving average which reflects the base period age distribution of mortgage loans. Experimental Measure X-4: (1) The weights for this outlays approach include expenditures actually made in the base period for property taxes, property insurance, maintenance, and repairs. The weight for the mortgage interest term is calculated in the same manner as in X-2. However, no appreciation or equity terms are included. Not all homeowners are represented in this measure because those who made no mortgage debt payment in the base period are excluded. (2) The prices used for each of these items are current ones. Experimental Measure X-5: (1) The weights for this outlays approach include, as in X-4, expenditures actually made in the base period for property taxes, property insurance, maintenance, and repairs. The weight for the mortgage interest cost term is the same as for the X-3. No appreciation or equity elements are used. As in X-4, not all homeowners are represented in this measure because those who made no mortgage debt payment in the base period are excluded. (2) Current prices are used in X-5 except for mortgage interest which uses the 15-year moving average also used in the X-3. 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 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 1976 through 1980 will be replaced at the end of 1980. The seasonal movement of all items and 35 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 45 selected components. Explanation of Homeownership Measures Official CPI-U includes five components. (1) The weights for property taxes, property insurance, and home maintenance and repairs represent expenditures of all homeowners in the base period. The weights for house prices and contracted mortgage interest cost represent only those homeowners who actually purchased a home in the base period. Included are the total price paid for the home, and the total amount of interest expected to be paid over half the stated life of the mortgage. (2) Current monthly prices are used for each of these components. Experimental Measure X-l: (1) The weight for this rental equivalence measure is the estimate of the rental value of all owner-occupied homes in the base period compiled from a specific question asked on the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey. This covers the entire stock of owned homes. (2) Prices used are the current rents collected for the residential rent component of the CPI. The CPI rent component is designed to represent changes in residential rents for all types of housing 79 r>.
