The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) also increased 1.0 percent before seasonal adjustment in September to 223.7 (1967=100). The CPI-U was 12.1 percent higher and the CPI-W was 12.4 percent higher than in September 1978. CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)—seasonally adjusted changes On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 1.1 percent in September, the ninth consecutive monthly increase of about 1.0 percent. Food and beverage prices advanced sharply in September following 3 months of very little change. The housing and transportation components of the index continued to increase substantially as mortgage interest rates and prices of houses and energy items advanced. Prices for apparel and other goods and services also rose notably in September. The index for medical care rose about the same as in August. The 0.3 percent increase in the entertainment index for September, however, was substantially smaller than in each of the 2 preceding months. During the 3 months ended in September, the CPI-U increased at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 13.2 percent, about the same as in the first and second quarters of the year. The September rise of 0.9 percent in the food and beverage component was the largest increase since April. Prices of grocery store foods increased 1.1 percent. Fruit and vegetable prices rose 2.7 percent after seasonal adjustment and accounted for about one-third of the increase. The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs, which had declined substantially in each of the preceding 3 months, rose 0.7 percent in September. A turnaround in beef and egg prices more than offset the continued decline in prices for pork and poultry. Indexes for cereal and bakery products showed smaller increases in September. Prices of the other two components of the food and beverage index— restaurant meals and alcoholic beverages-each rose 0.6 percent in September. The increase in restaurant meals was about the same as in July and August, but considerably less than the average monthly rate of increase during the first half of the year. The housing index rose 1.2 percent in September, the eighth consecutive month of large increases. Rising household fuel prices and homeownership costs continued to account for most of the increase. Fuel oil prices rose S.6 percent. The index for gas and electricity also rose substantially in September, but by less than in each of the preceding 4 months. In September, house prices rose 1.1 percent. Home financing costs rose 2.5 percent, reflecting increases in both mortgage interest rates and house prices. Charges for home maintenance and repairs rose 1.0 percent. The transportation component advanced sharply for the 11th consecutive month in September. Gasoline prices rose 3.5 percent and accounted for over four-fifths of the Table A.

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.

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 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. 79 Bureau of Labor Statistics Regional Offices GUAM o "mM> 0 AMERICAN SAMOA Region IV 1371 Peachtree Street, N.E.
