Percent changes are from preceding period and are based on original data; they therefore may
differ slightly from percent changes based on indexes shown here.
Beginning with data released August 3, 1989, hours of labor input are defined as hours at the
work site rather than hours paid.
Indexes for productivity and related data have been rebased to 1982=100; in addition, data reflect revisions beginning 1987 of GNP and related items published July 27, 1990.
"Data do not reflect GNP revisions of August 24, 1990.

of States and political subdivisions are included in loans rather than in other securities.
