RELEASED: September

Recent economic data indicate there may have been some
moderation in the pace of economic activity over the summer.
Growth of production, employment and sales appears to have been
less rapid in most recent months.
Industrial production has risen at a 5 per cent annual
rate since December, compared with a 1957-68 trend rate of 4.6
per cent, but declined in August. Payroll employment grew at a
3.4 per cent annual rate in the last eight months, but increased
at a 1.2 per cent rate from June to August.
Personal income, buoyed by Federal pay raises, has
continued to increase at a fast pace, an 8.6 per cent annual
rate since December, only moderately less than the 9.6 per cent
rate in the previous year. Despite the rapid advance of income,
retail sales data have shown no indication of such strength.
These sales were about unchanged from May to August. The
apparent inconsistency of retail sales on the one hand, and
income and consumer expenditures on the other, suggests that
there may be some inadequacies in the sales data.
While growth of employment, production, and sales seem
to have slowed in recent months, prices have continued to advance.
Consumer price increases have quickened to a 6.1 per cent rate
since December, up significantly from a 4.7 per cent rise in the
previous year. Wholesale prices have been essentially unchanged
since June after increasing 4 per cent in the previous year.
Wholesale industrial prices, however, have advanced at a 3.3 per
cent annual rate since June and at a 3.6 per cent rate since
December.
