* BUSINESS STATISTICS JL HE DATA here are a continuation of the statistics published in the 1949 Statistical Supplement to the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (price $1.25) contains monthly data for the years 1945 to 1948, and monthly averages for earlier years back to 1935 insofar as available; it also provides a description of each series and references to sources of monthly figures prior to 1945. Series added or revised since publication of the 1949 Supplement are indicated by an asterisk (*) and a dagger (f), respectively, the accompanying footnote indicating where historical data and a descriptive note may be found. The terms "unadjusted" and "adjusted" used to designate index numbers and dollar values refer to adjustment of monthly figures for seasonal variation. Data subsequent to April 1951 for selected series will be found in the Weekly Supplement to the SURVEY. Unless otherwise stated, statistics through 1948 and descriptive notes are shown in the 1949 Statistical Supplement to the Survey 1951 1950 April May June July August September October November December January February March April GENERAL BUSINESS INDICATORS NATIONAL INCOME AND PRODUCTf Seasonally adjusted quarterly totals at annual rates: National income, total bil. of dol Compensation of employees, total do Wages and salaries, total do Private do Military do Government civilian do Supplements to wages and salaries do Proprietors' and rental income, total cf do Business and professional cf do Farm do Rental income of persons do Corporate profits and inventory valuation adjustment, total bil. of dol Corporate profits before tax, total do Corporate profits tax liability do Corporate profits after tax do Inventory valuation adjustment do Net interest do 229.1 147.9 140.6 119.5 4.5 16.6 7.3 41.2 22.3 11.7 7.1 244.0 155 3 147. 8 125 3 256.2 162. 7 155. 1 130 3 170.2 162. 1 135. 5 7.4 45 5 24.6 13 5 7.4 7.6 46 3 24.3 14 4 7.6 8.1 48.0 25.8 14.8 7.4 35.0 37.4 16 5 20.9 —2 4 5.0 38.1 46.4 20 6 25.8 —8 3 5.0 42.2 50 8 22 3 28. 5 —8 5 5. 1 —9.3 5.2 Gross national product, total do Personal consumption expenditures total do Durable goods do Nondurable goods do Services do Gross private domestic investment do New construction do Producers' durable equipment do Change in business inventories do Net foreign investment do Government purchases of goods and services, total bil. of dol Federal (less Government sales) do State and local do 271.6 185 8 26.5 99 9 59 5 47 7 21 5 21.8 4 4 —1 7 283.9 198 9 34.0 104 5 60 4 47 8 23 0 26 3 —1 5 -3.3 300.3 195. 8 30.0 104.3 61 5 60 2 22 9 26.1 11 2 —3.4 313.9 204.8 31.6 110.7 62 6 59.0 23 5 27.6 7.9 —2.6 39.9 21 1 18.8 40.4 20 9 19. 5 47.6 26 9 20.8 52.6 32.0 20.7 Personal income total Less' Personal tax and nontax payments Equals' Disposable personal income Personal saving§ 215 19 195 9 224 9 20.3 204 6 5.7 234 9 23.3 211 6 15.8 241 6 26.7 214 9 10.1 do do do do 1 5 6 8 PERSONAL INCOME, BY SOURCEf Seasonally adjusted, at annual rates: Total personal income __ _ bil. of dol Wnge and salary receipts, total do _ Employer disbursements total do Commodity-producing industries do Distributive industries do Service industries do Government _ _ _ _ _ _ do _ Less employee contributions for social insurance bil. of dol Other labor income do Proprietors' and rental income do Personal interest income and dividends, _ _ d o Total transfer payments do Total nonagricultural income do 213.8 135.3 138. 1 59.1 39.7 18.2 21.1 214.5 137.7 140. 5 60.9 40.1 18.5 21.0 217.1 140.2 143.2 62.7 40.7 18.6 21.2 220.7 141. 7 144 5 63.3 40.9 18 7 21.6 225.4 145.5 148. 5 65.6 41.7 18.8 22.4 228.7 147.8 150.6 66.5 41.6 18.8 23.7 231.1 150. 7 153.8 68.6 41.9 19.2 24.1 232.9 152. 1 155. 1 69.1 41.9 19.3 24.8 241.0 154. 3 157. 2 70.0 42.4 19.4 25.4 240.9 156. 7 160. 2 71.1 43.2 19.9 26.0 241.3 158. 7 162. 1 72.0 43.7 19.8 26.6 >• 242. 8 164. 1 '73.0 44.1 20.0 '27.0 244.4 161. 5 164. 9 73.2 44. 1 20.0 27.6 2.8 3.3 39 8 18.2 17.2 2.8 3.4 41 5 17.8 14.1 3.0 3.4 42 3 17.8 13.4 2.8 3 4 45 5 17.8 12 3 3.0 3.4 46 1 18.4 12 0 2.8 3.4 45 0 21.1 11.4 3.1 3.4 45 7 19.2 12.1 3.0 3.4 46 2 19.4 11.8 2.9 3 4 47 0 217 11 6 3.5 35 49 3 19.0 12 4 3.4 3.5 47.7 19.3 12.1 3.6 35 M7 2 19.5 r 12 1 3.4 36 47 5 19.7 12 1 198.7 198.4 200.7 202. 7 207.3 211.2 212.7 213.9 221.9 220.9 222.4 r 234. 0 224.7 1 1 5, 500 2, f>70 » 190 1 360 1 150 1 830 1,300 r 160. 5 r NEW PLANT AND EQUIPMENT EXPENDITURES Mi industries, quarterly total Atnnufacturing Mining _ Railroad Other transportation Electric and gas utilities Commercial and miscellaneous-- -mil. of dol do _ do do do do . . do 4,330 1,860 160 300 90 760 1,160 4,700 2, 050 180 290 120 820 1,240 5,830 2,790 200 320 140 940 1,440 1 1 ^.^, ~.^.
