NOTE.™Beginning 1959 all quarterly data are rounded to nearest $50 million.
Annual total is the sum of unadjusted expenditures; it does not necessarily
coincide with the average of seasonally adjusted figures.
These figures do not agree with the totals included in the gross national product
estimates of the Department of Commerce, principally because the latter cover
agricultural investment and also certain equipment and construction outlays
charged to current expense.

STATUS OF THE LABOR FORCE

U.S. BALANCE OF PAYMENTS
In the second quarter, a rise in imports of goods and services were matched by a rise in exports. A sharp fall in outflow of U.S. capital reduced the overall deficit, as measured by U.S. gold sales and increases in foreign dollar assets,
to $1.0 billion (seasonally adjusted annual rate).

PRICES
CONSUMER PRICES
Consumer prices rose 0.1 percent in June. Higher food prices, especially for fresh fruits, and a further small price gain
for services were the principal causes of the advance.
