ONOMIC INDICATORS

Prepared by Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

3RD QUARTER 1981

DATA DESCRIPTION

Selected economic data for the Central Mississippi Valley (CMV) are generally
provided for five states and eight metropolitan areas which are entirely or partially
within the Eighth Federal Reserve District. In addition, Federal Reserve member bank
data are provided for three smaller SMSAs (Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas) and
for all seven states and nonmetropolitan areas within the Eighth District portion o f these
states. Also, the metropolitan summary o f population includes 13 SMSAs in the CMV.
Metropolitan areas refer to the 1973 SMSA definitions, except where noted, and states in
some cases refer only to the Eighth District portion o f the state. The latest data for
some series are preliminary and will be revised as final figures are received.

Income and Trade Indicators
Personal income and department store sales data are from the U.S. Department
o f Commerce. In April 1977, numerous revisions were incorporated into the department
store series, including boundary redefinitions for SMSAs. All agricultural data are from
the U.S. Department o f Agriculture.

Employment Indicators
Employment data are from the respective state Employment Security Offices
and the United States Department of Labor. Data for Memphis include only Shelby and
Tipton counties in Tennessee and Crittenden County in Arkansas. Total employment,
unemployment, and labor force are based on household (place-of-residence) data. Payroll
employment data, which include manufacturing, nonmanufacturing, and hours and earnings
in manufacturing, are based on establishment (place-of-work) data.

Production and Price Indicators
Consumer price indices are from the U.S. Department o f Labor. Electric
power consumption data for the Eighth Federal Reserve District are based on reports to
this Bank from various utility and self-generating firms in the District and U.S. data are
obtained from the Board o f Governors o f the Federal Reserve System. The series Value
o f Construction Contracts Let are from Dodge Construction Potentials, McGraw-Hill
Information Systems Company. Housing permits are from the U.S. Department o f
Commerce.

Financial Indicators
Total loan and deposit data for states, metropolitan areas, and nonmetropolitan
areas are only from member banks in the Eighth District. Such data are not strictly
comparable over time due to withdrawals and additions o f member banks (see average
number of member banks, page 35). In addition, beginning January 1981, member banks
with deposits of under $15 million (approximately 90 in the Eighth District) report deposit
figures quarterly rather than weekly. Savings and loan data are obtained from the
various Federal Home Loan Banks. These data for the Fort Smith metropolitan area
include only those counties in the State o f Arkansas, and for St. Louis include only
St. Louis City and St. Louis County in Missouri, and Clinton, Madison, Monroe, and
St. Clair counties in Illinois.

SUMMARY OF CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
Overall, economic activity in the Central Mississippi Valley (CMV) appears to have changed
little from the second to the third quarter. Payroll employment in both CMV states and metropolitan
areas was unchanged in the third quarter, while rising at a 1.6 percent annual rate in the United
States. The sluggish economic performance in the third quarter continues the slow economic activity in
the region that has persisted throughout much of the past two years. As shown in the table below,
payroll and manufacturing employment remain substantially below the level of two years ago. For
example, the three largest metropolitan areas in the region (St. Louis, Memphis, Louisville) have all
experienced declines in payroll employment of about 3 percent or greater and declines in
manufacturing employment of 6 percent or greater. Least affected among the metropolitan areas is
Springfield, Missouri which gained 1.9 percent in payroll employment and 5.3 percent in manufacturing
employment in the past two years. In comparison, payroll employment in the nation rose 2 percent in
the past two years and manufacturing employment declined 2.8 percent.
While total payroll employment in the region was unchanged in the third quarter, changes did
occur in individual industries. The automobile, housing and building materials industries, among the
hardest hit during the past two years, experienced declines in employment during the third quarter that
reduced or eliminated the gains in these industries in late 1980 and early 1981. These losses offset
third quarter employment gains in nonmanufacturing industries (other than construction) and in such
manufacturing industries as textile, apparel and leather, and electrical equipment.
Employment in transportation equipment manufacturing, of which automobile manufacturing
is the largest component, declined in the five CMV states at an 8.8 percent annual rate from the second
to third quarter, after an upturn late last year and this summer. With this latest decline, employment
in this industry stood 21 percent below the level of two years ago, but was still up slightly from a year
ago. Employment in lumber and furniture manufacturing also declined in the third quarter and is now
7.9 percent below two years ago, but still about 5 percent above a year ago. Construction employment
in the five states declined again in the third quarter and also stands 21 percent below two years ago.
Housing permits issued in the five states were 54 percent below a year ago, and in the first three
quarters of 1981, permits issued were 31 percent below a similar period a year ago. On the other hand,
nonresidential building contracts in the five states (dollar amounts) rose 31 percent over the relatively
high level in a similar period in 1980.
