PRODUCER PRICE INDEXES – MAY 2020
The Producer Price Index for final demand rose 0.4 percent in May, seasonally adjusted, the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. This increase followed declines of 1.3 percent in April and
0.2 percent in March. (See table A.) On an unadjusted basis, the final demand index decreased 0.8
percent for the 12 months ended in May.
In May, the advance in the final demand index is attributable to prices for final demand goods, which
climbed 1.6 percent. In contrast, the index for final demand services fell 0.2 percent.
Prices for final demand less foods, energy, and trade services edged up 0.1 percent in May, following
three consecutive declines. For the 12 months ended in May, the index for final demand less foods,
energy, and trade services moved down 0.4 percent, the largest 12-month decrease since the index began
in August 2013.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact on May 2020 Producer Price Index Survey Data
The Producer Price Index (PPI) response rates for May were consistent with those of April and no changes in
estimation procedures were necessary. Additional information is available at www.bls.gov/covid19/effectsof-covid-19-pandemic-on-producer-price-index.htm.

Final Demand
Final demand goods: The index for final demand goods rose 1.6 percent in May, the largest increase since
the index began in November 2009. Nearly two-thirds of the advance can be traced to prices for final
demand foods, which increased 6.0 percent. The index for final demand energy climbed 4.5 percent, while
prices for goods less foods and energy were unchanged.
Product detail: Two-thirds of the May increase in the index for final demand goods is attributable to a 40.4percent jump in meat prices. The indexes for gasoline, processed young chickens, light motor trucks,
liquefied petroleum gas, and carbon steel scrap also moved higher. Conversely, prices for chicken eggs fell
41.2 percent. The indexes for diesel fuel and for plastic resins and materials also decreased. (See table 4.)
Final demand services: The index for final demand services fell 0.2 percent in May, the same as in April.
The May decrease can be attributed to margins for final demand trade services, which declined 0.8 percent.
(Trade indexes measure changes in margins received by wholesalers and retailers.) In contrast, prices for
final demand transportation and warehousing services advanced 1.5 percent. The index for final demand
services less trade, transportation, and warehousing was unchanged.
Product detail: Leading the May decline in the index for final demand services, margins for fuels and
lubricants retailing dropped 13.1 percent. The indexes for loan services (partial); securities brokerage,
dealing, investment advice, and related services; truck transportation of freight; machinery and vehicle
wholesaling; and automobile and automobile parts retailing also moved lower. Conversely, prices for
transportation of passengers (partial) rose 12.2 percent. The indexes for dental care and apparel, jewelry,
footwear, and accessories retailing also increased.

Intermediate Demand by Commodity Type
Within intermediate demand in May, prices for processed goods rose 0.1 percent, the index for unprocessed
goods increased 8.9 percent, and prices for services fell 0.4 percent. (See tables B and C.)
Processed goods for intermediate demand: The index for processed goods for intermediate demand moved
up 0.1 percent in May after five consecutive declines. Leading the increase, prices for processed foods and
feeds climbed 6.4 percent. The index for processed energy goods rose 0.1 percent. In contrast, prices for
processed materials less foods and energy decreased 0.6 percent. For the 12 months ended in May, the index
for processed goods for intermediate demand dropped 6.8 percent.
Product Detail: The index for processed young chickens rose 14.4 percent. Prices for meats, gasoline,
lubricating oil base stocks, and softwood lumber (not edge worked) also advanced. Conversely, the index for
basic organic chemicals declined 5.2 percent. Prices for diesel fuel, steel mill products, and natural cheese
(except cottage cheese) also fell.
Unprocessed goods for intermediate demand: The index for unprocessed goods for intermediate demand
rose 8.9 percent in May, the largest advance since a 9.0-percent increase in February 2007. Three-fourths of
the broad-based increase in May can be traced to a 26.5-percent jump in prices for unprocessed energy
materials. The indexes for unprocessed foodstuffs and feedstuffs and for unprocessed nonfood materials less
energy moved up 4.5 percent and 0.6 percent, respectively. For the 12 months ended in May, prices for
unprocessed goods for intermediate demand dropped 19.4 percent.
Product Detail: Over one-third of the May increase in the index for unprocessed goods for intermediate
demand can be traced to a 36.5-percent jump in prices for natural gas. The indexes for crude petroleum,
slaughter chickens, slaughter barrows and gilts, slaughter steers and heifers, and carbon steel scrap also rose.
In contrast, the index for raw milk dropped 22.4 percent. Prices for corn and aluminum base scrap also fell.

3

Services for intermediate demand: The index for services for intermediate demand moved down 0.4
percent in May, the fourth consecutive decline. The May decrease is attributable to prices for services
less trade, transportation, and warehousing for intermediate demand, which fell 0.9 percent. Conversely,
the index for trade services for intermediate demand increased 0.6 percent, and prices for transportation
and warehousing services for intermediate demand moved up 0.5 percent. For the 12 months ended in
May, prices for services for intermediate demand decreased 1.6 percent, the largest 12-month decline
since the index began in November 2009.
Product Detail: Seventy percent of the May decrease in prices for services for intermediate demand can
be traced to a 10.0-percent decline in the index for securities brokerage, dealing, investment advice, and
related services. The indexes for nonresidential real estate rents, loan services (partial), broadcast and
network television advertising time sales, truck transportation of freight, and fuels and lubricants
retailing also declined. In contrast, margins for machinery and equipment parts and supplies wholesaling
rose 1.7 percent. The indexes for portfolio management and transportation of passengers (partial) also
increased.

Intermediate Demand by Production Flow
Stage 4 intermediate demand: Prices for stage 4 intermediate demand moved up 0.2 percent in May
following three consecutive declines. In May, the index for total goods inputs to stage 4 intermediate
demand increased 0.5 percent. Conversely, prices for total services inputs decreased 0.2 percent. (See
table D.) Advances in the indexes for beef and veal, portfolio management, gasoline, machinery and
equipment parts and supplies wholesaling, transportation of passengers (partial), and staffing services
outweighed falling prices for nonresidential real estate rents; diesel fuel; and securities brokerage,
dealing, investment advice, and related services. (See table 6.) For the 12 months ended in May, the
index for stage 4 intermediate demand decreased 1.7 percent.

4

Stage 3 intermediate demand: The index for stage 3 intermediate demand rose 0.3 percent in May
following four consecutive decreases. In May, prices for total goods inputs to stage 3 intermediate
demand moved up 1.2 percent. In contrast, the index for total services inputs fell 0.4 percent. Rising
prices for gasoline, slaughter poultry, slaughter barrows and gilts, slaughter steers and heifers,
machinery and equipment parts and supplies wholesaling, and beef and veal outweighed decreases in the
indexes for securities brokerage, dealing, investment advice, and related services; raw milk; and diesel
fuel. For the 12 months ended in May, prices for stage 3 intermediate demand declined 8.0 percent.
Stage 2 intermediate demand: The index for stage 2 intermediate demand moved up 1.9 percent in
May, the largest increase since a 2.0-percent rise in December 2016. In May, prices for total goods
inputs to stage 2 intermediate demand advanced 5.0 percent, and the index for total services inputs
edged up 0.1 percent. Rising prices for gas fuels, crude petroleum, portfolio management, staffing
services, transportation of passengers (partial), and lubricating oil base stocks outweighed decreases in
the indexes for securities brokerage, dealing, investment advice, and related services; plastic resins and
materials; and steel mill products. For the 12 months ended in May, prices for stage 2 intermediate
demand declined 8.3 percent.
Stage 1 intermediate demand: The index for stage 1 intermediate demand fell 0.6 percent in May, the
fourth consecutive decline. Prices for total goods inputs to stage 1 intermediate demand fell 0.7 percent,
and the index for total services inputs decreased 0.7 percent. Declines in the indexes for diesel fuel;
basic organic chemicals; loan services (partial); securities brokerage, dealing, investment advice, and
related services; nonresidential real estate rents; and fuels and lubricants retailing outweighed increases
in prices for transportation of passengers (partial), gasoline, and gas fuels. For the 12 months ended in
May, prices for stage 1 intermediate demand fell 8.5 percent.

Technical Note
Brief Explanation of Producer Price Indexes

from the Benchmark Input-Output Accounts of the U.S. In
many cases, the same commodity is purchased by different
types of buyers. As a result, commodities are often included
in several FD-ID indexes. For example, regular gasoline is
purchased for personal consumption, export, government use,
and business use. The PPI program publishes only one
commodity index for regular gasoline (wpu057104), reflecting
sales to all types of buyers, and this index is used in all
aggregations regardless of whether the gasoline is sold for
personal consumption, as an export, to government, or to
businesses. Proportions based on BEA “Use of Commodities”
data are used to allocate the correct portion of the total weight
of gasoline to each use category. In cases when buyer type is
an important price determining characteristic, indexes are
created based on specific buyer type. For example, within the
PPI category for loan services, separate indexes for consumer
loans and business loans were constructed. For more
information relating to the FD-ID structure, see “A new,
experimental system of indexes from the PPI program” in the
February 2011 Monthly Labor Review.

The Producer Price Index (PPI) of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is a family of indexes that measures the
average change over time in prices received (price changes) by
producers for domestically produced goods, services, and
construction. PPIs measure price change from the perspective
of the seller. This contrasts with other measures, such as the
Consumer Price Index (CPI). CPIs measure price change
from the purchaser’s perspective.
More than 10,000 PPIs for individual products and groups
of products are released each month. PPIs are available for the
products of virtually every industry in the mining and
manufacturing sectors. Over time, new PPIs have been
introduced for products of industries in the services and
construction sectors of the U.S. economy. As of January 2018,
the PPI covered 71 percent of services as measured by 2012
Census revenue, and 31 percent of construction.
More than 100,000 price quotations per month are
organized into three sets of PPIs: (1) Final demandIntermediate demand (FD-ID) indexes, (2) commodity
indexes, and (3) indexes for the net output of industries and
their products. The FD-ID structure organizes products by
class of buyer and degree of fabrication as well as by stage of
production. The commodity structure organizes products by
similarity of end use or product type. The entire output of
various industries is sampled to derive price indexes for the
net output of industries and their products.

Final Demand: The final demand portion of the FD-ID
structure measures price change for commodities sold for
personal consumption, capital investment, government, and
export. The system is composed of six main price indexes:
final demand goods; final demand trade services; final demand
transportation and warehousing services; final demand
services less trade, transportation, and warehousing; final
demand construction; and overall final demand.
The final demand goods index measures price change for
both unprocessed and processed goods sold to final demand.
Fresh fruits sold to consumers and computers sold for capital
investment are examples of transactions included in the final
demand goods price index. The final demand trade services
index measures price change for the retailing and wholesaling
of merchandise sold to final demand, generally without
transformation. (Trade indexes measure changes in margins
received by wholesalers and retailers.) The final demand
transportation and warehousing services index tracks price
change for transportation of passengers, as well as,
transportation of cargo sold to final demand, and also includes
prices for warehousing and storage of goods sold to final
demand. The final demand services less trade, transportation,
and warehousing index measures price change for all services
other than trade and transportation sold to final demand.
Publishing, banking, lodging, and health care are examples of
these services. The final demand construction index tracks
price change for new construction, as well as maintenance and
repair construction sold to final demand. Construction of
office buildings is an example of a commodity that would be
included in the final demand construction index. Lastly, the
overall final demand index tracks price change for all types of
commodities sold to final demand by combining the five final
demand component indexes described above.

Final Demand–Intermediate Demand
Indexes
The PPI FD-ID structure measures price change for
goods, services, and construction sold to final demand and to
intermediate demand. The FD-ID system replaced the PPI
stage-of-processing (SOP) system as PPI’s primary
aggregation model with the release of data for January 2014.
The FD-ID model expands coverage beyond that of the SOP
system through the addition of services, construction, exports,
and government purchases.
Compared with finished goods under the SOP system, the
PPI for final demand goods includes nearly a 50 percent
expansion of coverage. This increase can be traced to the
addition of government purchases and exports. For overall
final demand, expansion to include final demand services
represents an even larger increase in coverage. In December
2017, final demand goods were about 33 percent of overall
final demand, final demand services were roughly 65.5
percent, and final demand construction was about 1.5 percent
of final demand. Within intermediate demand, coverage of
services for intermediate demand resulted in about a 45
percent increase in coverage of the intermediate demand
portion of the economy.
FD-ID indexes are constructed from commodity-based
producer output price indexes. Commodities are allocated to
aggregate indexes primarily based on the type of buyer. The
main source of data used to determine the type of buyer is the
“Use of commodities by industries, before redefinition,” table

Intermediate Demand: The intermediate demand portion of
the FD-ID system tracks price change for goods, services, and
construction products sold to businesses as inputs to
6

production, excluding capital investment. The system includes
two parallel treatments of intermediate demand. The first
treatment organizes intermediate demand commodities by
type. The second organizes intermediate demand commodities
into production stages, with the explicit goal of developing a
forward-flow model of production and price change.
The intermediate demand by commodity type portion of
the system organizes commodities by similarity of product.
The system is composed of six main price indexes:
unprocessed goods for intermediate demand; processed goods
for intermediate demand; intermediate demand trade services;
intermediate demand transportation and warehousing services;
intermediate demand services less trade, transportation, and
warehousing; and intermediate demand construction.
The unprocessed goods for intermediate demand price
index measures price change for goods sold to businesses as
inputs to production that have undergone no fabrication. Crude
petroleum sold to refineries is an example of an unprocessed
good sold to intermediate demand. The processed goods for
intermediate demand index tracks price change for fabricated
goods sold as business inputs. Examples include car parts sold
to car manufacturers and gasoline sold to trucking companies.
The index for trade services for intermediate demand
measures price change for the services of retailing and
wholesaling goods purchased by businesses as inputs to
production. The intermediate demand transportation and
warehousing services index measures price change for
business travel, as well as, transportation and warehousing of
cargo sold to intermediate demand. The intermediate demand
services less trade, transportation, and warehousing index
measures price change for services other than trade,
transportation, and warehousing sold as inputs to production.
Legal and accounting services purchased by businesses are
examples of intermediate demand services excluding trade,
transportation, and warehousing. Finally, the construction for
intermediate demand index measures price change for
construction purchased by firms as inputs to production. The
index for construction for intermediate demand tracks price
change for maintenance and repair construction purchased by
firms.
The production flow treatment of intermediate demand is
a stage-based system of price indexes. These indexes can be
used to study price transmission across stages of production
and final demand. This system is constructed in a manner that
maximizes forward flow of production between stages, while
minimizing back-flow of production. The production flow
treatment contains four main indexes: intermediate demand
stage 1, intermediate demand stage 2, intermediate demand
stage 3, and intermediate demand stage 4.
Indexes for the four stages were developed by first
assigning each industry in the economy to one of four stages
of production, where industries assigned to the fourth stage
primarily produce output consumed as final demand,
industries in the third stage primarily produce output
consumed by stage 4 industries, industries assigned to the
second stage primarily produce output consumed by stage 3
industries, and industries assigned to the first stage produce
output primarily consumed by stage 2 industries. The four
indexes then track prices for the net inputs consumed by

industries in each of the four stages of production. The stage 4
intermediate demand index, for example, tracks price change
for inputs consumed, but not produced, by industries included
in the fourth stage of production. Hence, the index tracks
price change in inputs to industries that primarily produce
final demand commodities (stage 4 producers primarily
produce commodities sold to final demand).
Examples of heavily weighted goods-producing industries
in stage 4 include the manufacture of light trucks and utility
vehicles, automobiles, and pharmaceuticals. Retail trade, food
service and drinking places, and hospitals are examples of
heavily weighted service industries included in stage 4. Stage
4 also includes all new construction industries. Examples of
goods consumed by stage 4 industries include motor vehicle
parts, commercial electric power, plastic construction
products, biological products, and beef and veal. Engineering
services, machinery and equipment wholesaling, long distance
motor carrying, and legal services constitute examples of
services consumed by stage 4 industries.
Examples of highly weighted goods-producing industries
included in stage 3 are motor vehicle parts manufacturing,
animal (except poultry) slaughtering and processing, and
semiconductor manufacturing. Services industries classified
in stage 3 include wholesale trade; insurance carriers;
architecture, engineering, and related services; and hotels and
motels. Examples of goods consumed by stage 3 industries
include slaughter steers and heifers, industrial electric power,
and hot rolled steel bars, plates, and structural shapes.
Services commonly consumed by stage 3 industries include
commissions from sales of property and casualty insurance,
business loans, temporary help services, and administrative
and general management consulting services.
Petroleum refineries; electricity generation, transmission,
and distribution; natural gas distribution; cattle ranching and
farming; and plastic materials and resin manufacturing are
among the goods-based industries assigned to stage 2.
Services industries that are heavily weighted in stage 2 include
management of companies and enterprises; non-depository
credit intermediation; insurance agencies and brokerages; and
services to buildings and dwellings. Goods commonly
purchased by stage 2 industries include crude oil, natural gas,
formula feeds, and primary basic organic chemicals. Services
that are heavily weighted in the intermediate demand stage 2
index are legal services, business loans, and cellular phone and
other wireless telecommunication.
Goods producing industries in stage 1 include oil and gas
extraction, paper mills, and grain farming. Real estate, legal
services, and advertising services are examples of highly
weighted services industries included in stage 1. Examples of
goods consumed by stage 1 industries are commercial and
industrial electric power and gasoline. Services commonly
consumed by stage 1 industries include solid waste collection,
chemicals and allied products wholesaling, and guestroom or
unit rental. It should be noted that all inputs purchased by
stage 1 industries are by definition produced either within
stage 1 or by latter stages of processing, leaving stage 1 less
useful for price transmission analysis. For additional

Comparing the PPI with CPI

addition, most industries have secondary product indexes that
show changes in prices received by establishments for
products chiefly made in some other industry. Some industries
have miscellaneous receipts indexes that track price changes
for other sources of revenue received by establishments within
the industry that are not derived from sales of their products;
for example, resales of purchased materials, or revenues from
parking lots owned by a manufacturing plant.

Although some data users utilize the PPI as a potential
indicator of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), there are many
reasons why the PPI and the CPI may diverge. The scope of
the personal consumption portion of the PPI includes all
marketable output sold by domestic producers for households.
The scope of the CPI includes goods and services provided by
business or government, where explicit user charges are paid
by consumers. For example, the most heavily weighted item in
the CPI, owners’ equivalent rent, is excluded from the PPI.
The scope of the CPI includes imports. The PPI excludes
imports. The CPI only includes components of personal
consumption directly paid for by the consumers, while the PPI
includes components of personal consumption that may not be
paid for by consumers. For example, the PPI includes medical
services paid for by third parties. In contrast to CPI, PPI does
not completely cover services. PPIs exclude taxes, since they
do not represent producer revenue. Conversely, sales and other
taxes paid by consumers are part of household expenditure and
are included in the CPI. Additional technical differences
between PPI and CPI also exist. For more information see
“Comparing new final demand producer price indexes with
other Government price indexes,” Monthly Labor Review,
January 2014, at https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/.

Data Collection
PPIs are constructed using selling prices reported by
establishments of all sizes, selected by probability sampling,
with the probability of selection proportionate to size.
Individual items and transaction terms also are chosen by
probability proportionate to size. BLS strongly encourages
cooperating companies to supply actual transaction prices at
the time of shipment to minimize the use of list prices. Prices
submitted by survey respondents are effective on the Tuesday
of the week containing the 13th day of the month. The survey
is conducted online via the BLS Internet Data Collection
Facility (IDCF).
Price data are provided on a voluntary and confidential
basis; only sworn BLS employees are allowed access to
individual company price reports. BLS publishes price
indexes instead of actual prices. All PPIs are subject to
revision 4 months after original publication to reflect the
availability of late reports and corrections by respondents.
BLS periodically updates the PPI sample of survey
respondents to better reflect current conditions when the
structure, membership, technology, or product mix of an
industry shifts significantly and to spread reporting burden
among smaller firms. Information on these resampling efforts
are noted in the PPI News Release and PPI Detailed Report in
the months they occur.
As part of an ongoing effort to expand coverage to sectors
of the economy other than mining and manufacturing, an
increasing number of service and construction sector
industries have been introduced into the PPI. The following
list of industries introduced since the mid-1990s includes the
month and year in which an article describing the industry’s
content appeared in the PPI Detailed Report.

Commodity Indexes
The commodity classification of the PPI organizes goods,
services, and construction by similarity of product or end use,
disregarding industry of origin. With the release of data for
July 2009, PPI expanded its commodity structure to include
indexes for services and construction products. Prior to this
date, the PPI commodity structure only included products
from goods producing sectors. Table 9 of the PPI Detailed
Report includes data for commodity indexes, organized in a
hierarchal structure, including major groupings, subgroups,
product classes, sub-product classes, and individual items.

Industry Net-Output Price Indexes
PPIs for the net output of industries and their products are
grouped according to the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS). Prior to the release of
January 2004, industry-based PPIs were published according
to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system.
Industry price indexes are compatible with other economic
time series organized by industry, such as data on
employment, wages, and productivity. Table 11 of the PPI
Detailed Report includes data for NAICS industries and
industry groups (3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-digit codes), Census product
classes (7- and 8-digit codes), products (9-digit codes), more
detailed sub-products (11-digit codes), and, for some
industries, indexes for other sources of revenue.
Indexes may represent one of three kinds of product
categories. Every industry has primary product indexes that
show changes in prices received by establishments classified
in the industry for products made primarily, but not
necessarily exclusively, by that industry. The industry
classification of an establishment is determined by which
products make up a plurality of its total shipment value. In

Weights for most commodity groupings of the PPI, as
well as, weights for commodity-based aggregate indexes
calculated from commodity groupings, such as FD-ID indexes,
currently reflect 2012 values of shipments as reported in the
Census of Manufactures and other sources. From January
2012 to December 2017, PPI weights were derived from 2007
shipment values. Industry indexes now are calculated under
the 2017 NAICS structure utilizing 2012 value of shipment
weights and 2007 net output ratios. The periodic update of the
value weights used to calculate the PPI is done to more
accurately reflect changes in production and marketing
patterns in the economy.
Net output values of shipments are used as weights for
industry indexes. Net output values refer to the value of
shipments from establishments within the industry to buyers
outside the industry. However, weights for commodity indexes
are based on gross shipment values, including values of
shipments between establishments within the same industry.
As a result, broad commodity grouping indexes, such as the
PPI for All Commodities (which is composed of major
commodity groupings 01 through 15), are affected by the
multiple counting of price change at successive stages of
processing, which can lead to exaggerated or misleading
signals about inflation. The intermediate demand by
commodity type FD-ID indexes partially correct for this
defect, but industry indexes, final demand FD-ID indexes, and
intermediate demand by production flow FD-ID indexes
consistently correct for this at all levels of aggregation.
Therefore, industry and FD-ID indexes are more appropriate
than broad commodity groupings for analysis of general price
trends.

Effective with publication of January 1988 data, many
important PPI series (including most commodity groups and
individual items) were placed on a new reference base, 1982 =
100. From 1971 through 1987, the standard reference base
for most PPI series was 1967 = 100. Except for rounding
differences, the shift to the new reference base did not alter
any previously published percent changes for affected PPI
series. (See “Calculating Index Changes,” below.) The 1982
reference base is not used for commodity indexes with a base
later than December 1981 or for industry net output indexes
9

and their products. The FD-ID indexes typically have a
reference base of November 2009 = 100.
For further information on the underlying concepts and
methodology of the Producer Price Index, see chapter 14,
“Producer Prices,” in the BLS Handbook of Methods. This
chapter can be downloaded from the BLS Web site at
https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch14.htm.

information, see Price Adjustment Guide for Contracting
Parties,
on
the
Web
at
https://www.bls.gov/ppi/ppiescalation.htm.
Seasonal adjustment is accomplished using X-13
ARIMA, a software package published by the U.S. Census
Bureau. Each year, the seasonal status of most commodity
indexes is reevaluated to reflect more recent price behavior.
Industry net output indexes are not seasonally adjusted. For
time series that exhibit seasonal pricing patterns, new seasonal
factors are estimated and applied to the unadjusted data from
the prior 5 years. Updated seasonally adjusted indexes replace
the most recent 5 years of seasonal data.
Seasonal factors may be applied to series using either a
direct or an aggregative method. Generally, commodity
indexes are seasonally adjusted using direct seasonal
adjustment, which produces a more complete elimination of
seasonal movements than does the aggregative method.
However, the direct seasonal adjustment process may not yield
figures that possess additive consistency. Thus, a seasonally
adjusted index for a broad category that is directly adjusted
may not be logically consistent with all seasonally adjusted
indexes for its components. Seasonal movements for FD-ID
indexes are derived indirectly through an aggregative method
that combines movements of a wide variety of subproduct
class (six-digit) series.
Seasonally adjusted indexes can become problematic
when previously stable and predictable price patterns abruptly
change. If the new pattern persists, the seasonal adjustment
method will eventually reflect it; if the pattern keeps shifting,
however, seasonally adjusted data will become chronically
troublesome. This problem occurs relatively infrequently for
farm and food-related products, but has more often affected
manufactured products such as automobiles and steel.
Since January 1988, the PPI has used Intervention
Analysis Seasonal Adjustment methods to enhance the
calculation of seasonal factors. With this technique, outlier
values that may distort the seasonal pattern are removed from
the data prior to applying the standard seasonal factor
estimation procedure. For example, a possible economic
cause for large price movements for petroleum-based products
might have been the Persian Gulf War. In this case,
intervention techniques allowed for better estimates of
seasonally adjusted data. On the whole, very few series have
required intervention. Out of almost 400 seasonally adjusted
series, only 42 were subject to intervention in 2018.
For more information relating to seasonal adjustment
methods, see “Summary of Changes to the PPI’s Seasonal
Adjustment Methodology” in the January 1995 issue of
Producer Price Indexes, and “PPI and CPI Seasonal
Adjustment: an Update” in the July 2010 Monthly Labor
Review.

Calculating Index Changes
Each PPI measures price changes from a reference period
that equals 100.0. An increase of 5.5 percent from the
reference period in the Final Demand Goods Price Index, for
example, is shown as 105.5. This change also can be
expressed in dollars, as follows: prices received by domestic
producers of a sample of final demand goods have risen from
$100 in November 2009 to $105.50. Likewise, a current index
of 90.0 would indicate that prices received by producers of
final demand goods are 10 percent lower than they were in
November 2009.
Movements of price indexes from one month to another
are usually expressed as percent changes, rather than as
changes in index points. Index point changes are affected by
the level of the index in relation to its base period, whereas
percent changes are not. The following example shows the
computation of index point and percent changes.

Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data
Because price data are used for different purposes by
different groups, BLS publishes seasonally adjusted and
unadjusted changes each month. Seasonally adjusted data are
preferred for analyzing general price trends in the
economy because these data eliminate the effect of changes
that normally occur at about the same time, and in about the
same magnitude, every year—such as price movements
resulting from normal weather patterns, regular production
and marketing cycles, model changeovers, seasonal discounts,
and holidays. For these reasons, seasonally adjusted data
more clearly reveal underlying trends. Unadjusted data are of
primary interest to users who need information that can be
related to actual dollar values of transactions. Individuals
requiring this information include marketing specialists,
purchasing agents, budget and cost analysts, contract
specialists, and commodity traders. It is the unadjusted data
that are generally cited when escalating long-term contracts
such as purchasing agreements or real estate leases. For more

Producer Price Index Data on the Internet
In 1995, the BLS began posting PPI series, news releases,
and technical information to both a World Wide Web (WWW)
site and a file transfer protocol (FTP) site. During the years
following the introduction of PPI Internet services, use of
these sites eclipsed more traditional methods of data
dissemination, such as subscriptions to the PPI Detailed
Report. There were more than 4 million instances of PPI data
10

and tables being downloaded from the BLS website during the
12 months ended December 31, 2017.

code.

Top Picks is a form-based application for both Industry
Data and Commodity Data that allows the user to quickly
obtain PPI time series data by selecting the high-level
aggregate and other commonly requested time series,
including the All Commodities Index and the FD-ID
indexes (for example, Final Demand). Within each list,
any one—or all—of the time series shown can be
selected. A user can modify the date range and output
options after executing the query, using the reformat
button above the data output table.

One-Screen Data Search and Multi-Screen Data Search
are form-based query applications for both Industry Data
and Commodity Data designed for users unfamiliar with
the PPI coding structure. These applications guide a user
through the PPI classification by listing index titles and
do not require knowledge of commodity or industry
codes. Data retrieved are based on a query formulated by
selecting data characteristics from lists provided. Two
options are available to create customized tables,
depending on a user’s browser capability. The one-screen
option is a JavaScript application that uses a single screen
to guide a user through the available time series data. The
second option is a multiple-screen, non-Java-based
application. Both methods allow a user to browse the PPI
coding structure and select multiple series. Users can
modify the date range and output options after executing
the query using the reformat button above the data output
table.

Current price indexes grouped by industry according
to NAICS have series identifiers that begin with the
prefix “pcu.” After the prefix, there are 12 digits (the 6digit industry code is listed twice) followed by up to 7
alphanumeric characters identifying product detail.
Dashes are used as placeholders for higher-level industry
group codes.

Series Report is a form-based application that allows
users to input multiple, formatted PPI time series
identifiers (commodity or industry codes) as inputs in
extracting data according to a specified set of date ranges
and output options. This application provides the most
efficient path for users who are familiar with the format of
PPI time series identifiers. There are five alphabetic
prefixes used to create unique PPI time series identifiers:
WP, WD, PC, PD, and ND. Each provides the user
access to a different PPI database. Adding either a “u”
(not seasonally adjusted) or an “s” (seasonally adjusted)
to the end of these prefixes further specifies the type of
data needed.

Discontinued industry-product codes based on SIC
combine a “pdu” prefix and “#” between the fourth and
fifth characters of the product code. Series identifiers for
the discontinued dataset use underscores as placeholders
to complete a reference to an SIC industry group code of
fewer than four digits. (All PPI industry-based indexes
organized by SIC were discontinued with the introduction
of NAICS in 2004.)

items and subtotals may not add exactly to totals because of rounding differences.
3
The indexes for January 2020 have been recalculated to incorporate late reports and corrections by respondents. All indexes are subject to revision 4 months after original publication.
4
PPI defines Total finished as including only the personal consumption and private capital investment portions of final demand.
5
Trade indexes measure changes in margins received by wholesalers and retailers.
6
The PPI definition of foods does not include food and beverages for immediate consumption. PPI defines food and beverages for immediate consumption as the service of preparing
meals, snacks, and beverages to customer order for immediate on-premises and off-premises consumption.
7
Distributive services include transportation, warehousing, and trade of goods.

Further information about the Final Demand-Intermediate Demand Aggregation system is available online at https://www.bls.gov/ppi/fdidaggregation.htm
Comprehensive relative importance figures are initially computed after the publication of December indexes and are recalculated after final December indexes are available. Individual
items and subtotals may not add exactly to totals because of rounding differences.
3
The indexes for January 2020 have been recalculated to incorporate late reports and corrections by respondents. All indexes are subject to revision 4 months after original publication.
