BUSINESS STATISTICS J. HE DATA here are a continuation of the statistics published in the 1949 Statistical Supplement to the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume 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 October 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 1949 1948 October Novem- ber Decem- ber January Febru- ary March April May June July August Septem- ber October GENERAL BUSINESS INDICATORS NATIONAL INCOME AND PRODUCT Seasonally adjusted quarterly totals at annual rates: National income, total _ ._ bil. ofdol 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 c? 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 Inventorv valuation adjustment do Net interest do 234. 3 144.9 139.8 119.6 226.3 142.5 137 5 117.2 223 .4 141.8 136 5 115.9 16.1 16.2 16.6 49 7 24.5 18.5 47 8 24.0 17.1 46 5 24.1 15.7 35.7 34.5 13.6 20.9 31.8 29.4 11.5 17.9 30.9 26.4 10.6 15.8 4.1 4.1 5.0 4.0 5.0 6.7 5.3 6.7 1.2 4.1 142 2 136 6 115 7 40 16 8 56 44 5 24 2 13 8 6 5 6.7 2.3 4.2 4.5 4.3 35 4.3 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 ofdol Federal (less Government sales) do State and local do 270.3 180.9 22.9 103.3 54.8 48.0 17.9 21.2 263.5 178.6 23.1 100 1 55.4 41.6 16 8 21.2 36 259.6 178 9 23.8 99 3 55.9 35.4 16 4 20.4 —1 4 256.3 178 5 25.8 96 5 56.2 35.0 17 3 20.1 —2 4 40.3 23.4 16.9 42 3 25.2 17.0 44 0 26.2 17.8 43 6 25.5 18. 1 Personal income total Less* PersonaFtax and nontax payments Equals* Disposable personal income Personal saving § 216.6 20.4 196.2 15.3 213 7 18.8 194 9 16.3 212 5 18.7 193 8 14.8 210.6 18.8 191 9 13.3 9.0 1.0 do do do do 1.2 1.0 —.8 PERSONAL INCOME, BY SOURCE Seasonally adjusted, at annual rates: Total personal income _ bil. of dol Wage 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_.
