Seasonally Adjusted at Annual Rates

JLVEAL GNP increased at an annual
rate of 7% percent in the first quarter,
after having increased 5 percent in the
fourth quarter of last year (table 1).
The acceleration was due to an $11
billion annual rate swing in real inventory investment, from fourth-quarter
decumulation of $1% billion to firstquarter accumulation of $9% billion;
from the third to the fourth quarter,
there had been a small negative swing
(chart 1). Final sales increased less
than in the fourth quarter—3% percent
as compared with 5 percent. Fixed
investment was up 9% percent, a little
less than in the fourth quarter, as a
slowing of the rate of increase in residential investment was only partly
offset by a strengthening in business
fixed investment. The increase in personal consumption expenditures (PCE)
was larger than in the fourth quarter—
7% percent as compared with 4 percent.
Some of the deceleration in total
final sales was due to government
purchases, which showed little change
in the first quarter. However, the
bulk of it reflected a decrease in exports
and a large increase in imports.
About two-thirds of the increase
in final sales was in consumer and
business purchases of motor vehicles,
and the remainder was more than
accounted for by consumer purchases
of food and energy. The total of other
final sales was essentially unchanged.
These estimates are preliminary, and
subject to revisions that might modify
this picture. Furthermore, although
some of the first-quarter increases in final
sales seem unsustainable, it is quite
possible that spending for other items
will pick up as the unsustainable
demands subside.
Inflation, as measured by the increase

in the GNP implicit price deflator,
abated substantially, from 7 percent
in the fourth quarter to 3% percent in
the first. The major factors were declines in the prices of the food and
energy components of PCE. In addition,
the rate of increase in prices of equipment and structures slowed. This slowing benefited not only business
investors, but also government, which
buys a considerable amount of these
items. Prices paid by government had
increased in the fourth quarter due to
the Federal pay raise; that this factor
was absent in the first quarter was the
major reason for deceleration of prices
paid by government.
Employment and unemployment.—
Employment, as measured in the household survey, increased substantially
in the first quarter, at a 5.6 percent
annual rate, as compared with 0.5
percent in the fourth. Women accounted
for more than a proportionate share of
this increase, as they had over the past
year. On a quarterly basis, unemployment showed the first sharp decline
since its peak in the second quarter of
1975. The unemployment rate dropped
from 8.5 percent in the fourth quarter
to 7.6 percent in the first. (For a discussion of some of the problems involved
in calculating the seasonally adjusted
unemployment rate, see the March
issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS.)
On the basis of the establishment survey, the first-quarter increase in employment was smaller than shown by
the household survey, but, at 3.6 percent, was about the same as the fourthquarter increase. Among the goodsproducing industries, which had been
affected more by the recession than the
service-producing industries, employ1

SUEVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS
ment in durables manufacturing was
up about 7 percent—more than in the
fourth quarter. An increase in employment in the transportation equipment
industry of about 14 percent accounted
for almost one-third of the increase
in employment in durables. Employment in nondurables manufacturing
was up less than in the fourth quarter,
was unchanged in mining, and was
down in contract construction.
Although the quarterly gains in
GNP final sales were concentrated in
a very few categories—specifically,
motor vehicles, food, and energy—the
gains in employment were widespread
industrially. Of the 172 private nonfarm industries, about 70 percent
showed month-to-month employment
increases, somewhat more than in the
fourth quarter. To some extent, the
contrast between the final sales and
employment patterns may be due to
statistical inconsistencies, although
basically it was to be expected. For
instance, the large increase in motor
vehicle production that accompanied
the sales increase affected employment
not only in the transportation equipment industry, but also in the industries
supplying raw material and semifinished
goods to it and marketing its finished
products. This kind of diffusion in
employment facilitates the adjustments
of the labor supply to changes in
demand.
Costs and prices
Table 2 shows three measures that
throw light on cost-output relationships

in the nonfarm business economy. In
the first measure, output per hour, the
numerator is derived by deducting from
real GNP the production originating in
the nonbusiness sectors—the rest of the
world, households and institutions, and
government—and in the farm sector.
The denominator is derived by making
the following major adjustments to the
hours data that are based on the establishment survey: hours of nonfarm
self-employed and unpaid family workers are added, and hours of employees
of civilian government and nonprofit
institutions are deducted. With output
up 7.9 percent at an annual rate in the
first quarter, and hours up 4.1 percent,
the ratio of the two—often used as a
measure of labor productivity—was up
3.6 percent, as compared with a decline
in the fourth quarter.
In the second measure, compensation
per hour, the numerator is derived from
compensation of nonfarm business employees as measured in the national
income and product accounts (NIPA's)
by adding an allowance for the labor
component of the income of the nonfarm self-employed. In the first quarter,
compensation per hour increased 8.0
percent, as compared with 5.7 percent
in the fourth.
The third measure, unit labor cost,
is the quotient of the labor productivity
and average compensation measures.
In the first quarter, it increased 4.3
percent, somewhat less than in the
fourth.
Developments in alternative measures of wage rates are summarized in
table 3. The first of these, average

hourly earnings, differs from the average
compensation series, because it covers
civilian government employees and
employees of nonprofit institutions, but
does not cover the self-employed and
unpaid family workers. Also, the numerator of the ratio excludes supplements
to wages and salaries (employer contributions for social insurance and other
labor income). The average hourly
earnings series can be adjusted to exclude the effects of overtime pay in
manufacturing and of changes in the
industrial mix of employment, and,
accordingly, the adjusted series is a
better measure of changes in hourly
wage rates. The Hourly Earnings Index
increased at a 6.1 percent annual rate
in the first quarter, less than in any
quarter in the last two years.
The last measure shown in table 3
relates to wage-rate changes taking
place under major collective bargaining
agreements. In the first quarter, the
effective wage-rate change was 1.1
percent (not seasonally adjusted). That
this change was the smallest shown in
the table largely reflects the relatively

small number of workers receiving
wage-rate changes, rather than the size
of the increase per worker, which is the
other major factor determining the
change. The former factor tends to
make this series erratic. In the first
quarter, it held down the size of the
wage-rate change stemming from current settlements. In that quarter, the
change in current settlements was
low—0.2 percent; it undoubtedly will
be atypical of the remaining quarters
of 1976, because, with a heavy bargaining calendar ahead, a large number
of workers will receive changes in

current settlements. As of mid-April,
a major collective bargaining agreement, that covering the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, was still in
the process of being ratified. It appears
that its wage-rate and fringe-benefit
increases will average around 5 percent
per year over the contract's 3-year life.
The agreement also incorporates a
"capless" escalator, which will provide
substantial protection against increases
in consumer prices.
Prices.—As noted earlier, the increase
in the GNP implicit price deflator de-

celerated from an annual rate of about
7 percent in the fourth quarter to about
3% percent in the first. The alternative
measures of GNP prices—the fixedweighted price index and the chain
price index—showed about the same
fourth-to-first-quarter changes as the
deflator. The deflator for goods and
services purchased by U.S. consumers,
shown in table 4 as the deflator for
GNP less exports plus imports, also
decelerated; prices of both exports and
imports, which had changed little in the
fourth quarter, increased by about
equal amounts.

for the change in business inventories is subject to large erratic movements that reflect shifts




in the composition among items that have shown large differences in their price rise as compared with the 1972 base period. The size of these erratic movements precludes the use of these
deflators in price analysis.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

April 1976

Among the other GNP components,
improvements in price performance
were widespread, although, as will be
noted below, some of them were temporary. The deflator for PCE increased
3% percent, as compared with 5% percent in the fourth quarter. The improvement was due almost entirely to food
prices, which declined about 1 percent
after an increase of 3% percent, and to
energy prices, which declined 6% percent after an increase of 7 percent
(chart 2). The increase of other prices
paid by consumers remained essentially
unchanged, at about 6 percent.
Slower rates of increase were apparent in prices of equipment and structures. It should be noted that prices of
these items are particularly difficult to
measure. For instance, in the case of
equipment, a complex procedure is
necessary because the price information,
which is believed to reflect new orders,
must be synchronized with the GNP
components, which are intended to be
on a delivery basis. This synchronization procedure involves the application
of distributed lags to the appropriate
components of the Wholesale Price
Index. This procedure has shortcomings; for instance, it does not take into
account cyclical changes in the lags
between new orders and deliveries. Because of the use of the distributed lag

procedure, it is possible to infer from
the information taken from the Wholesale Price Index the near-term prospects
for the deflator for equipment. Using
this method, it appears that the secondquarter increase will not differ very
much from the 6 percent increase in the
first quarter.
The halving of inflation in the prices
paid by government was largely due to
the fact that fourth-quarter prices had
been boosted by the Federal pay raise.
The deceleration—from about 7 percent to 3 percent—in the prices paid by
government for goods and services
other than employee compensation was
due to the movements of prices of food,
energy, equipment, and structures.
The first-quarter decrease in food
prices was due to larger supplies
reaching the retail market as a result
of last year's above-average harvest.
In particular, meat prices reflected
stepped-up production of grain fed
cattle in response to lower feed prices
combined with continued high marketing of grass fed cattle. The outlook
for food prices is uncertain. Prices of
meat—beef in particular—have turned
around. Even setting aside seasonal
changes, a decline in the marketing of
grass fed cattle seems to be underway,
and in the coming months will work
in the same direction as the first-

quarter narrowing of the margin between feed costs and meat prices, that
is, to reduce the supplies of beef and
raise its price. As a result, month-tomonth meat price increases are likely
to occur during the second quarter.
For the quarter as a whole, however,
on a seasonally adjusted basis, consumer meat prices may not be any
higher than in the first quarter. It is
even more difficult to sort out the
factors determining the prices of food
other than meat, but it would appear
that on average they also will show
little change from the first to the second
quarter. For the remainder of the
year, price prospects are even more
uncertain. However, the fragmentary
information that is available points
to a somewhat better performance of
food prices than had generally been
expected earlier in the year.
The major factor in the first-quarter
decrease in energy prices was the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act
passed in December 1975. This act
rolled back the average ceiling price
of domestic crude oil from $8.60 per
barrel in the fourth quarter to $7.66 in
the first, and eliminated the $2 per barrel fee on imported crude oil. The act
also provided for decontrol of domestic
crude oil prices over a forty-month
period. As the first step in the imple-

mentation of this provision, the Federal
Energy Administration in April announced a 9.8 percent increase in the
average ceiling price, to $8.41 per
barrel, to take effect over the next 10
months. This increase is designed to
provide a specific incentive to domestic
crude oil production in addition to
offsetting the impact of general inflation. Crude oil prices will be subject
to other factors as well, including the
price decisions of the Organization
of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Changes in crude oil prices will affect
the prices consumers pay for gasoline,
fuel oil, and related products. Although
these prices, in turn, will be affected
by other factors, it seems very likely
that, on balance, a substantial increase
in prices of these products will occur
over the coming months. The prices
of other kinds of energy purchased by
consumers—for example, coal and natural gas—are also likely to rise. Cost
increases, deregulation, increases in
general demand, and shifts in relative
demand tending to equalize price increases in competitive energy products,
are all factors working in that direction.

Examination of some of the basic
determinants of investment also makes
a real increase in investment in 1976
credible. As shown in chart 3, there
has been a very strong recovery in
internal funds available to corporations;
this recovery improved their financial
situation and reduced financial constraints upon investment plans. The
improvement in internal funds is likely
to continue. The past and prospective
increases are, of course, a reflection of
similar developments in the profitability of corporate business, which is
another—and perhaps even more
important—determinant of business
investment.

manufacturing capacity utilization is
less clear. The rates of capacity utilization have improved since their recession
lows, but remain well below their
historical peaks—even in the major
materials-producing industries where
recovery appears to have been fairly
strong. Manufacturers' evaluation of
their capacity has barely turned
around. Manufacturers accounting for
35 percent of gross capital assets
reported that their capacity was inadequate in December 1975, up only
1 percentage point from the cyclical
low in September. Of course, past
experience shows that indicators of
this type often change pace abruptly,
and it is quite possible that they will
suggest rapidly improving prospects
for investment as the recovery proceeds.
Some evidence on the timing of
increases in fixed investment is shown
in chart 4. Contracts and orders for
plant and equipment have not regis-

tered a clear upturn. Capital appropriations of the 1,000 largest manufacturers, which have an average leadtime over expenditures of about a
year, place the recovery in expenditures
late in 1976. Appropriations of investorowned utilities suggest a similar timing.

and

After two quarters of relative stability, real net exports dropped sharply
in the first quarter (table 7). The firstquarter estimate is based on 2 months'
data on merchandise trade and fragmentary information on services, including net investment income. A decline in agricultural exports was largely
due to reduced shipments to the Soviet
Union. These shipments had been unusually high in the fourth quarter, when
the bulk of the shipments of the 1975
grain crop provided for in the recent
agreement with the Soviet Union occur-

red. The decline in nonagricultural
exports was about the same in percentage terms, but much larger in absolute
amount. Eeceipts for services seem to
have increased from the fourth quarter.
A large increase in imports was entirely
due to merchandise; oil imports were
up sharply, reflecting mainly the continued rise in economic activity and
perhaps also the removal late in December 1975 of the $2 per barrel fee on
imported oil. A large part of the remaining increase was in industrial supplies
and materials, and was widespread
among the major components of this
category.
Superficially, the first-quarter drop in
real.net exports accounts for the largest
part of the deceleration of final sales.
It is difficult, however, to give an explanation of this drop that brings out
the underlying cause-effect relations
between it and the deceleration of final
sales. As regards exports, although the

bulk of the decline represented a drag
on real GNP, there are exceptions. For
instance, it is apparent that GNP in
the fourth and first quarters would
not have been very different in the
absence of exports of grain to the
Soviet Union. Agricultural production
in the short run is quite insensitive to
changes in demand, and the absence of
these exports would have been offset by
changes in inventory accumulation.
Some of the first-quarter increase in
imports can be viewed in a similar
way. For instance, if the large increase
in oil imports had not occurred, it is
very likely that most of the compensating change would have been in inventories rather than in domestic production. Most of the remaining import increase is best interpreted as limiting the
impact of the improvement in domestic
demand on GNP. It is hard to think of
any significant increase in imports that
could be interpreted as an active drag
on GNP.
Government purchases.—Real Federal
and State and local government purchases of goods and services were unchanged in the first quarter (table 8).
Among State and local purchases, a
decline in structures was offset by increases in the other components.
In current dollars, Federal purchases
were up about $1 billion from the
fourth quarter. Transfer payments were
up $5% billion, due to the disbursements

Federal expenditures increased $6 billion, to about $380 billion. Including
an allowance for corporate profits tax
accruals, which are not yet known,
total Federal receipts increased by a
comparable amount, and the Federal

to the $72 billion registered in the
fourth quarter.
Inventories
Real inventories accumulated in the
first quarter after decumulation in the
fourth. The swing was in nonfarm
inventories; farm inventories increased
by about equal amounts in both
quarters. These estimates are based
on preliminary data. For nonfarm
inventories, the underlying book value
information is available for only 2
months. A large accumulation of nondurable inventories appears to have
been partly offset by a reduction in

is understandable in terms of the
imbalances that developed prior to
the recession and of the readjustment
that occurred subsequently.
Chart 5 provides an overview of the
nonf arm inventory situation by relating
the constant-dollar stocks to constantdollar final sales of nonfarm business.
As can be seen, the stock-sales ratio
was about 0.250 in the first quarter.
This ratio is not far out of line with
previous periods in which inventories
were in balance in the sense that business did not seek to bring about either
an increase or decrease in stocks relative
to sales. Given reasonable assumptions
about prospective changes in final
sales, some further increase in the rate
of inventory accumulation seems likely
in the near term. Thereafter, inventories

Preliminary.
1. Stocks are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventories calculated from the current-dollar stocks shown in this table is not the current-dollar change in
business inventories (CBI) component of GNP. The former is the difference between two
inventory stocks, each valued at end-of-quarter prices. The latter is the change in the physical
volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. In addition, changes calculated
from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at annual rates.
3. Equals GNP in constant dollars measured as the sum of final products less GNP in constant dollars measured as the sum of gross product by industry.
NOTE.—Inventories are classified as durable or nondurable as follows: for manufacturing,
by the type of product produced by the establishment holding the inventory; for trade by
the type of product sold by the establishment holding the inventory; for construction, durable;
and for other nonfarm industries, nondurable.

f> Preliminary.
1. On February 18, 1974, the U.S. Government granted to India $2,010 million (quarterly
rate) in rupees under provisions of the Agricultural Trade Development and Adjustment
Act. This transaction is being treated as capital grants paid to foreigners in the national income
and product accounts but as current unilateral transfers in the balance of payments accounts.
Accordingly, this transaction is excluded from Federal Government transfers to foreigners
and related totals shown in tables 11, 15, and 16, and is included in the first quarter of 1974
as —$8.0 billion (annual rate) in capital grants received by the U.S. shown in tables 11 and 16.

NOTE.—The implicit price deflator for GNP is a weighted average of the detailed price
indexes used in the deflation of GNP. In each pariod, the weights are based on the composition
of constant-dollar output. In other words, the price index for each item is weighted by the
ratio of the quantity of the item valued in 1972 prices to the total output in 1972 prices. Changes
in the implicit price deflator reflect both changes in prices and changes in the composition of
output. The chain price index uses as weights the composition of output in the prior period
and, therefore, reflects only the change in prices between the two periods. However, comparisons of two or more of the percent changes in the chain index also reflect changes in the composition of output. The fixed-weighted price index uses as weights the composition of output
in 1972. Accordingly, comparisons over any timespan reflect only changes in prices.

Earnings Increases, 1969-73
A HE extent to which different demographic and earnings groups shared in
the overall increase in earnings from
1969 to 1973 varied markedly, according to an analysis of data on workers
with earnings in the first quarter of
each year during that period. "Advancement"—defined as an increase in
earnings from 1969 to 1973 that exceeded the 27 percent national average
increase reported by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics—was least common
among those with average annual earnings during the period under $3,000.
With the exception of those earning
under $3,000, black men and black
women were generally more likely to
advance than were their white 1 counterparts in the same earnings ranges.
Within given race-sex-earnings groups,
young workers were more likely to
advance than were older workers. With
age held constant, the likelihood of
advancement generally increased with
increased earnings.
The Data
The data are from the Social Security
Administration's Continuous Work
History Sample (CWHS), a longitudinal file containing information on a
random, 1 percent selection of all
persons having social security numbers.2
These data refer only to earnings subject to social security taxation; earnings
in uncovered employment and other
types of income (such as interest and
dividends) are excluded. The CWHS
NOTE.—Alan L. Tyson did the computer
programing for this article.

races other than black.

David A. Hirschberg, "The Continuous Work History
Sample," in the 1974 Proceedings of the Business and Economic Statistics Section of the American Statistical Association.




contains information on about 90 percent of the employed persons in the
United States. The major excluded
groups are civilian employees of the
Federal Government, and those employees of State and local governments
who are not covered by social security.
The earnings data are first-quarter
earnings expressed at annual rates.
Self-employed persons, who report their
earnings to the Social Security Administration at the end of each year, are
excluded from the analysis. To eliminate the effect of intermittent employment on the findings, the sample that
was used includes only workers who
had earnings in the first quarter of
each year from 1969 to 1973. The
430,800 persons in this 1 percent sample
represent 43,080,000 workers with earnings in the first quarter of each year
during the period. These 43,080,000
workers include about one-half of the
men and one-third of the women who
had some work experience in 1969, and
constitute a large group of workers with
a very steady attachment to the work
force.
The advancement standard of 27
percent is equal to the increase in
average weekly earnings of production
and nonsupervisory workers on private
nonagricultural payrolls from the first
quarter of 1969 to the first quarter of

1973. Because the Consumer Price
Index increased 20 percent during the
period, this standard represents an
increase in real earnings of about 6
percent.
Findings
About 62 percent of all workers advanced from 1969 to 1973 (table 1).
For each race-sex group, the proportion
advancing was lower among those with
average annual earnings under $3,000
than it was for those at the higher
earnings levels.3 Since the minimum
hourly wage of $1.60 which was in
effect during the period implies minimum annual earnings of $3,200 for
persons working full time, full year
(i.e., 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per
year), very few of the workers with
3. The earnings groupings are based on average annual
earnings (1969-73) rather than on initial-year (1969) earnings,
because the use of 1969 earnings would make it more likely
that low earners would advance than high earners. The
reason is that in any single 3-month period (such as the first
quarter of 1969), some workers are below their "permanent"
earnings curve for reasons such as unemployment, part-time
employment or sickness, while other workers are above their
permanent earnings curve for reasons such as an unusually
large amount of overtime. These workers are not randomly
distributed among the various earnings levels. Rather, those
with temporarily depressed earnings are more likely to fall
into a low earnings level, while those with temporarily inflated
earnings are more likely to fall into a high earnings level.
Therefore, grouping workers on the basis of their earnings
level in the initial year would make it easier for the low earners
(including those with temporarily depressed earnings) to
advance than the high earners (including those with inflated
earnings in the initial period).

average annual earnings under $3,000
could have worked full time steadily
during the period.
Among white men earning over
$3,000 there was no systematic relationship between earnings level and the
likelihood of advancement, and, because white men comprised 62 percent
of the entire sample, the data for all
race-sex groups combined also show no
relationship between earnings level and
the likelihood of advancement. In the
three other race-sex groups, however,
the likelihood of advancement generally
increased with increased earnings, except for the groups earning $15,000
and over, where the numbers of observations were small.4
Except for those earning under
$3,000, black men and black women
were generally more likely to advance
than their white counterparts at the
same earnings levels. For example,
68 percent of the black men and 73
percent of the black women earning
$7,000-$9,999 advanced, compared
with 61 percent of the white men and
66 percent of the white women at that
earnings level. For all earnings levels
combined, however, the proportion
who advanced was similar for each
race-sex group. The explanation of this
4. A limitation of the CWHS is that earnings must be
estimated for workers whose first-quarter earnings exceed
the maximum annual amount subject to social security
taxation. For example, for persons whose earnings in the
first quarter of 1969 exceeded the taxable maximum of $7,800,
the CWHS estimates annual earnings as $51,000 for men and
$45,000 for women. For those exceeding the taxable maximum of $10,800 in the first quarter of 1973, the CWHS estimates annual earnings as $73,500 for men and $60,900 for
women. Whatever error these estimates may introduce into
the findings is very small, because in any year only a very
small minority of the workers in the sample exceed the taxable maximum in the first quarter. Thus, even among those
workers in the sample who earned over $15,000 in 1969, only
about 13 percent exceeded the taxable maximum in the first
quarter of that year. Furthermore, the extent of the estimated
earnings increase among those exceeding the taxable maximum in the first quarter was not very different from what
it was among the remainder of those earning over $15,000.




apparent anomaly lies in the larger
proportions of blacks than whites at
the lowest earnings level, where the
likelihood of advancement was lowest;
10 percent of the black men and 28 percent of the black women had average
annual earnings under $3,000, compared with 5 percent of the white men
and 18 percent of the white women
(table 2).
The finding that blacks were generally more likely to advance than whites
at the same earnings levels provides

April 1976

perspective on Census Bureau figures
that show that from 1969 to 1973 the
ratio of black to white median earnings
for all persons with earnings increased
from 0.61 to 0.64 for men and from 0.75
to 0.92 for women.5 The longitudinal
data presented here show that these
increases are not merely the result of the
withdrawal from the black labor force
of low earners and their replacement by
higher earners, but reflect, at least in
part, the greater earnings gains of
blacks than of whites at the same earnings levels.
The effect of age
As noted earlier, the proportion of
white men who advanced was similar
for all earnings levels above $3,000.
However, the low earnings levels contain larger proportions of young workers
than the high earnings levels, and
young workers are more likely to in5. U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census,

crease their earnings than older workers.
A positive relationship appears between
earnings level and the likelihood of
advancement when the data are separated by age, that is, when the impact
of the young workers on the low earnings levels is removed. The prevalence
of young workers among the low earners
is shown in table 3; 55 percent of the
white men earning under $3,000 and 54
percent of those earning $3,000-$4,999
were under 25 years of age in 1969,
compared with far smaller proportions
of the white men with higher earnings.
The inverse relationship between age
and the likelihood of advancement is
shown in table 4. For example, among
white men earning $5,000-$6,999, the
proportion who advanced falls steadily
from 84 percent of those under 25 years
of age and 66 percent of those aged
25-34 to 39 percent of those aged 55

and over. Within given age groups, the
data in table 4 show a positive relationship between earnings level and the
likelihood of advancement. Among
white men aged 25-34, for example,
the porportion who advanced rises
steadily from 45 percent of these earning under $3,000 to 77 percent of those
earning $15,000 and over.
The inverse relationship between age
and the likelihood of advancement and
the positive relationship between earnings level and the likelihood of advancement are apparent for the three other
race-sex groups as well. Among black
men earning $5,000-$6,999, for example, the proportion who advanced falls
from 81 percent of those under 25 to
50 percent of those 55 and over. Among
black men aged 25-34, the proportion
who advanced rises from 44 percent of

21
those earning under $3,000 to 81 percent
of these earning $15,000 and over.
The age breakdowns in table 4 confirm the earlier finding that within
given sex-earnings groups, blacks were
generally more successful in advancing
than whites. Also, within given raceage-earnings groups, women were generally more successful than men. Thus,
among persons aged 45-54 and earning
$5,000-$6,999, the proportions advancing were 69 percent for black women,
61 percent for white women, 58 percent
for black men, and 48 percent for white
men. A possible explanation for these
findings is that assuming a history of
previous discrimination, blacks and
women at given earnings levels were
superior workers to their white and
men counterparts, and were therefore
able to increase their earnings more
rapidly as discrimination abated.

BY THE REGIONAL ECONOMIC ANALYSIS DIVISION

Tracking the 6EA State Economic Projections
OTATE projections to 1980 and 1990
of income and population, based on data
covering the postwar years through
1971, were published in the April 1974
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. This
article reviews major changes in the
economy since 1971 in order to determine the continuing usefulness of the
projections. The assessment is made by
measuring and evaluating the deviations between actual income and population and annual interpolations, for
recent years, of the long-term fullemployment projections.
The discussion focuses mainly on
deviations for State economies which
have departed substantially from their
projected levels. The major causes of
deviations fall into two categories:
those that are likely to have long-term
effects on State economies and those
likely to have short-term effects. The
first category includes changes in regional trends, such as the acceleration
of growth in many industries in a number of small western and southern
States, that were not apparent, or were
overlooked, in the historical data when
the projections were initially made, and
unanticipated changes in particular
industries nationally, such as the industrial effects of the energy situation. The
second category includes temporary
events, such as missile base construction in North Dakota; random events,
such as floods, and their economic
effects; and the national business cycle.
The following analysis emphasizes

deviations for 1973, because it is the
most recent year in which the national
economy approximated the full-employment conditions projected for 1980
and 1990.
States With Significant Percent Deviations in 1973
In tables 1-3, the States are ranked in
descending order of percent deviations
[(projected less actual) -^-actual] in labor
and proprietors' income from all industries except agriculture, forestry,
and fisheries—hereafter termed "nonfarm earnings"—in 1973.1 States at
the top of the tables had earnings overestimates, and States at the bottom had
earnings underestimates. Table 1 shows
projected and actual values and percent
deviations for nonfarm and total
earnings, total personal income, and
population. Table 2 shows percent
deviations for each of the 10 major
industrial components of nonfarm
earnings, and table 3 shows percent of
total nonfarm earnings for each industry.
(Nonfarm
earnings are
emphasized because of the unusually
high level of farm earnings in 1973—63
percent more than projected—and the
distorting effect this had on total
earnings, particularly in States with
substantial farming activity).
For the Nation as a whole in 1973, the
difference between projected and actual
nonfarm earnings was only 0.2 percent.2
Percent deviations for the States and
the District of Columbia ranged from
0 percent to 11 percent, with 35 of the
observations falling below 5 percent.
1. The BEA State income estimates have not yet incorporated the revisions presented in "The National Income and
Product Accounts of the United States: Revised Estimates,
1929-74," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, January 1976.
These revisions are unlikely to substantially alter subnational trends.

Underestimates exceeded overestimates
by 2.4 to 1; States with overestimates
accounted for more than one-half of
U.S. nonfarm earnings. The following
discussion centers on two groups of
States—those with overestimates and
those with large underestimates—
because the pattern of deviation in
each is associated with distinctive
geographic and industrial characteristics (see chart 6).
In the 15 States with overestimates,
projected nonfarm earnings ranged from
only slightly above actual levels
(Indiana) to 6 percent above (New
York); the average overestimate was
3 percent. This group included five of
the largest States in the Nation:
California and New York, each with
more than 10 percent of U.S. nonfarm
earnings, and Illinois, Pennsylvania,
and Ohio, each with 5-6 percent. All
15 States except California and Washington are located in the manufacturing
belt of the Northeast, Great Lakes,
and eastern rim of the Plains.
In 13 States projected nonfarm earnings in 1973 ranged from 5 percent
below the actual level (Utah) to 11
percent below (Florida); the average
underestimate in these States was
7% percent. This group accounted
for only about 13 percent of U.S. nonfarm earnings, the largest States being
Florida, with 3% percent of the national total, and Georgia, with about
2 percent. All of these States are
2. This is the error in the aggregate that was projected
independently of the State distribution; as such, this error
is the weighted average of the State percent deviations—the
sum of the State percent deviations, whether positive or
negative, weighted by State nonfarm earnings.
The weighted average of the absolute percent deviations
(that is, regardless of sign) was 2 percent. The unweighted
average of the State percent deviations—the sum of the
State percent deviations, whether positive or negative,
divided by the number of States—was 1 percent. The unweighted average of the absolute percent deviations was
2.8 percent.

in the 13 States with large underestimates was 28 percent (nearly twice the
U.S. rate), compared with a projected
rate of 19 percent (only 25 percent
above the U.S. rate).
In each group of States, most major
industrial components of nonfarm earnings tended to deviate in the same direction. In the States with overestimates,
projected earnings exceeded actual
levels in 71 percent of the 150 observations (15 States times 10 industries).
In this group, the exceptions were
mainly in mining, State and local
government, and transportation, communication, and public utilities (table
2). In the States with large underestimates, projected earnings fell short of

Sources of deviations
In general, the deviations noted
above occurred because the projections
(based on data through 1971) assumed
a narrowing of growth rate differences
among the States. Instead, recent data
typically indicate that States projected
to grow slowly (rapidly) grew even
more slowly (more rapidly). From
1969 to 1973—both peak years in the
national economy—the growth rate of
nonfarm earnings in the 15 States with
overestimates was only 10 percent,
compared with a projected rate of
15 percent. Similarly, the growth rate

actual levels in 88 percent of the 130
cases (13 States times 10 industries).
In States with overestimates, manufacturing—an important industry in
most—grew more slowly than expected,
especially in New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and California. Ohio—a major
producer in the motor vehicle industry,
which operated at a high level in 1973—
was the exception; its manufacturing
performed as projected.
In States with large underestimates,
growth in manufacturing, in some, and
construction, more generally, was unexpectedly high. Manufacturing grew
even more rapidly than projected in
South Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas,

and Colorado largely because the extent
of the industry's increasing geographic
dispersion away from the more industrialized States toward the southern
and mountain States was underestimated in the projections. Underestimates of construction in Florida and
Arizona in 1973 were due, in part, to a
short-term building cycle: a temporary
spurt in building in 1973 was followed
by a sharp decline in 1975; these
changes were properly "smoothed" in
the projections. Construction in North
Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming grew
faster than expected because of missile
base building in North Dakota—a shortterm event—and more permanent gains
in mining and related construction in
Montana and Wyoming. Unusually
good agricultural conditions contributed
to greater-than-expected gains in related industries and in total nonfarm

the remaining States would be approximately on trend. Supplemental data
with which users can track the projections for particular States on a continuing basis are discussed in the

projected population fell short of actual
levels by 8 percent, 11 percent, and 13
percent, respectively.
The States with large population
underestimates were mainly in the
South and West. An accelerated inflow
of retirees has stimulated population
growth in such Sun Belt States as
Arizona, Florida, and Nevada. The
growing energy industry, three unusually good farm income years in succession (1972-74), and reduced chances
of finding jobs in the industrialized
States of the Northeast and Great
Lakes helped reverse the historical pattern of outmigration from some Eocky
Mountain States and from other States
in which agriculture is unusually important. Not only was inmigration to
the Northeast limited, but also outmigration from the Northeast—to the
Sun Belt—may have accelerated due to

Implications for 1980
In general, the post-1971 comparisons
between projected and actual earnings
and population reveal that about onehalf of the State economies appear to
have remained on their long-term
growth paths. The other half have departed significantly from trend because
of a larger-than-expected redistribution of economic activity and population between the Northeast-Great Lakes
industrial States and a group of western
and southern States.
If recent trends continue into the
future, then the 1980 projections for the
Northeast-Great Lakes
industrial
States would be too high; those for the

Availability of Additional Data
Additional State data useful for
measuring and explaining deviations
between projected and actual population and income are available, including
(1) data showing population, total personal income, and earnings in 37industry detail, 1958-74, together with
personal income and earnings in 10industry detail through the four quarters of 1975; (2) estimates of population, personal income, and earnings in

Contrasting Developments in the States

Changes in Nonfarm Income
in Recession and Early Recovery
0

JL HE seven States hit hard during
the recent recession (from the fourth
quarter of 1973 to the first quarter of
1975) did well during the early part of
the recovery (from the first to the
fourth quarter of 1975). In contrast, of
the six States that did exceptionally
well during the recession, only half
continued to do well during the
recovery.
States that did poorly during the
recession

States with the smallest gains in
nonfarm income * during the recession
turned around very sharply (Michigan,
Georgia, New Hampshire, and South
Carolina) or advanced somewhat faster
than the national average (Indiana,
North Carolina, and Ohio) during the
recovery (chart 8). Manufacturing—
especially autos and textiles—and construction held back income gains during
the recession, but the former supported
rapid gains during the recovery (table
A). Changes in service-type industries
paralleled those in manufacturing: gains
were below the national average in the
seven States during the recession, but
above or near average in New Hampshire, Ohio, South Carolina, and Indiana during the recovery. In contrast,
the lingering effects of the recession
caused construction to continue to
decline in five States and rise only
moderately in New Hampshire and
Indiana.
1. State nonfarm income is a more reliable indicator of the
geographic impact of national economic changes than total
personal income, because rapid and erratic changes in farm
income tend to blur underlying economic developments.

30




In all seven States, rapid increases
in government unemployment insurance
benefits—at least 440 percent, compared with 266 percent nationally—
helped cushion the declines in key
industries during the recession. With
recovery, these payments declined or
changed only moderately.
Relative income changes in the
District of Columbia, unlike those in
the seven States, primarily resulted
from changes in Federal Government
payrolls.

the

Of the States with the fastest nonfarm income gains—at least 55 percent
above the national average—during
the recession, Alaska, Wyoming, and
Idaho continued to gain rapidly during
the recovery (though not as rapidly as
previously), but North Dakota, Washington, and Utah did not (chart 8).
In all six States, mining, construction, and manufacturing stimulated
gains in service-type industries during
the recession. The large gains in Alaska
and Wyoming mainly reflected increased mining and related construction
activity, such as the Trans-Alaska oil
pipeline. Missile base construction was
important in North Dakota. Because of
the economic strength of these six
States, gains in government unemployment insurance benefits were well below
average.
During the recovery, mining and
related construction continued to support rapid gains in Alaska and
Wyoming, and manufacturing con-

contrast, manufacturing weakened in
Utah and Washington, and construetion leveled off in North Dakota.
Five other States—New York, South

Dakota, Ehode Island, Hawaii, and
Connecticut—had moderate gains in
nonfarm income, ranging from 4%
percent to 5% percent, during the

State Personal Income, 1974-75
From 1974 to 1975, both U.S. Nationally and in most of the States,
personal income and consumer prices income gains were bolstered by sharp

deflator for personal consumption ex- nearly 25 percent); excluding these

BY JOHN C. MUSGRAVE

Fixed Nonresidential Business and Residential Capital in
the United States, 1925-75
XHIS article presents revised and
extended estimates of the Nation's
stock of fixed nonresidential business
capital, by major industry group, and of
residential capital, by tenure group, for
1925-75. It also presents new estimates
of both kinds of capital by legal form of
organization. A brief explanation of the
derivation of the estimates is provided.

The estimates are based on the gross
fixed investment flows that are a part
of the national income and product
accounts (NIPA's) as reworked in the
recently completed benchmark revision.
BEA will publish the capital stock
estimates in greater detail in a separate
volume.
These estimates are part of a BEA

project to measure the Nation's tangible
wealth. Estimates of the stock of
business inventories were reworked in
the course of the benchmark revision,
and for certain quarters are shown in
table 7 of the regular National Income
and Product tables. Additional detail
on inventories will be published in an
article in the SURVEY OF CURRENT

their original acquisition prices. Except
for items built for wartime use that were
generally less suited to postwar than
to war use, government surplus assets
purchased by business are also valued
in gross stocks at their original acquisition prices. The excepted items are
valued in gross stocks at estimates of
the prices that business would have
been willing to pay for new assets of
equal productivity designed specifically
for the civilian uses to which these
government surplus assets were put.
These estimated prices are derived by
raising the secondhand sales prices by
a factor determined by the estimated
age of the asset at the time of purchase
by business.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

April 1976

The GNP flows are supplemented
to provide appropriate investment series
by industry for nonresidential capital
or by tenure group for residential capital, and by legal form of organization.
The investment series used to derive
estimates by major industry group are:
farm, U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) data, and manufacturing, Census Bureau data from the Census and
Annual Survey of Manufacturers; nonfarm nonmanufacturing investment is
the residual after the farm and manufacturing estimates are deducted from
the NIPA totals. The investment series
used to derive estimates by tenure
group are: nonfarm, Census Bureau
data from the Census of Housing, and

farm, USDA data. Investment series
by legal form of organization are derived from a variety of sources: for
fixed nonresidential business capital,
these include the economic censuses,
Internal Revenue Service (IRS), BE A
plant and equipment expenditures survey, and trade associations; for residential capital, the Census Bureau's
Survey of Residential Finance is used.
Service lives and retirement patterns

The service lives used to derive the
estimates in tables 1 through 4 (nonresidential capital) are 85 percent of
the lives specified in the 1942 edition
of IRS Bulletin F.2 The lives used to

derive the estimates in tables 5 through
8 (residential capital) are 80 years
for new 1- to 4-unit dwellings and
65 years for new 5- or more-unit
dwellings; additions and alterations
are assumed to have lives half as long
as these.
These service lives are averages.
The patterns of retirements used in
this study are based on modifications
of the Winfrey S-3 curve, which is a
bell-shaped distribution centered on
the average life.3 For nonresidential
2. Alternative estimates of stocks of fixed nonresidential
business capital based on several different service life assumptions will be included in the volume on capital stock
referred to earlier.

Property Retirement, Iowa Engineering Experiment Station,
Bulletin 125, December 11,1935.

capital, retirements start at 45 percent
and end at 155 percent of the'average
life. For residential capital, retirements
start at 5 percent and end at 195
percent of the average.
Valuation
The capital stock measures are computed on three bases of valuation—
historical cost, constant cost, and current cost. Historical cost measures are
derived by valuing each item in the
stock at the price at which it was
purchased new. Historical cost stocks
are not shown in this article, but they
will be included in the volume on
capital stock.

49
Constant cost measures are derived
by valuing all assets at the prices of a
given period. The prices of 1972 are
used in this study. For these calculations, the gross investment flows must
be expressed in constant prices. This is
done by applying appropriate price
indexes to the current-dollar investment
flows. The constant cost stock is a
measure of the physical volume of
capital.
Current cost measures are derived
by valuing all assets in the stock at
any specified period at the prices of that
period. This is done by applying price
indexes to the constant cost stock estimates to convert them to current cost
measures. In effect, the current cost

4. Another widely used method, the double-declining
balance formula, assumes an annual percentage rate of
depreciation that is twice the straight-line formula. Alternative estimates of stocks of fixed nonresidential business
capital using this method will be included in the capital

stock volume.

April 1976

The "economic" capital consumption
allowances in the NIPA's are based on
straight-line depreciation and the same
service lives used to derive the estimates
of stocks in tables 1 through 8. However, these NIPA estimates differ
slightly from the depreciation estimates
in the capital stock calculations because
of the treatment of accidental damage.
The capital stock calculations are based
on the assumption that accidental
damage occurs at the same rate each
year, whereas the NIPA estimates are
adjusted to reflect year-to-year variations in the rate.

CURRENT BUSINESS STATISTICS

IKE STATISTICS here update series published in the 1973 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, biennial statistical supplement to the SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (available from the Superintendent of Documents for $6.80) provides a description of each series, references
to sources of earlier figures, and historical data as follows: For all series, monthly or quarterly, 1969 through 1972 (1962-72 for major quarterly
series), annually, 1947-72; for selected series, monthly or quarterly, 1947-72 (where available). Series added or significantly revised after the 1973
BUSINESS STATISTICS went to press are indicated by an asterisk (*) and a dagger (f), respectively; certain revisions for 1972 issued too late for
inclusion in the 1973 volume appear in the monthly SURVEY beginning with the August 1973 issue. Also, unless otherwise noted, revised monthly
data for periods not shown herein corresponding to revised annual data are available upon request.
The sources of the data are given in the 1973 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS; they appear in the main descriptive note for each series, and
are also listed alphabetically on pages 189-90. Statistics originating in Government agencies are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely.
Data from private sources are provided through the courtesy of the compilers, and are subject to their copyrights.

'[Beginning June 1974 SURVEY, data are restated to reflect changes in pricing by BLS.
Because of delay in obtaining data the prices lag the current index as follows: industrial chemicals and electric power, one month (i.e., July index reflects June prices); gas fuels, except
LPG, two months (July index reflects May prices); refined petroleum products (gasoline,
distillates, residual), one month (July index reflects June prices). The restated indexes are

'Revised. ! Advance estimate.
H Data may be understated because of deficiencies in
the probability sample being used for current estimates (the 1972 Census of Retail Trade
indicates that total retail sales for 1972 were 4.8 percent higher than the estimates made from
the sample). A comprehensive revision of the survey (including the selection of a new and
improved sample) is now underway; revised data will be introduced upon its completion.

' Revised.
v Preliminary.
^Effective with the Oct. 1975 SURVEY, all establishment (payroll) employment, hours,
earnings, and labor turnover reflect the periodic adjustment of these data to more recent
benchmarks (Mar. 1974) and to revised seasonal factors. Data back to Jan. 1970 are subject
to revision. The Oct. 1975 EMPLOYMENT AND EARNINGS (BLS) provides monthly data back
to 1970 for many of the series published in the SURVEY.

ONOTE FOR P. S-16: In accordance with the 1975 Tax Reduction Act (effective May 1,
1975), new formulas have been constructed for the period May-Dec. 1975 for calculating spendable earnings. Therefore, the entire reduction in 1975 taxes is accounted for in the period
May-Dec. 1975. The 4.5% increase from Apr. to May 1975 in real spendable earnings reflects a
.1% decrease in real weekly earnings plus a 4.6% decrease in the average tax effect (the change
in average social security/federal income tax rates for worker with 3 dependents who earned
the average weekly earnings).

§ Beginning fourth quarter 1973, because of changes in method of
consolidation (to minimize the effect of foreign operations of multinational enterprises), data
are not comparable with those for earlier periods. The effect of the change can be assessed by
comparing the data as originally published for the fourth quarter 1973 (June 1974 SURVEY)
with the revised data.

cf Data may not equal the sum of the geographic regions, or commodity groups and principal
commodities, because of revisions to the totals not reflected in the component items; these
revisions will be shown later in biennial editions of BUSINESS STATISTICS. Also, beginning
1973, the totals reflect relatively small amounts of trade with unidentified countries, not shown
separately.

© Beginning March 1974 SURVEY, data are restated to account for processing gain and
crude losses not previously included; comparable data for earlier periods will be shown later.
©Effective with Jan. 1974 data, series known as "Grossinput to crude oil distillation units";
see note s for this page.
*New Series. The source has discontinued prices for the former
specification. Comparable indexes for earlier periods will be shown later. For gasoline and
kerosene see also similar note on p. S-36.
^Beginning June 1975 SURVEY, the prices for all
months have been transferred forward (i.e., Dec. price moved into Jan. period) since they are
for "mid-month" instead of "1st of month" as formerly.

*New series. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has revised its pricing program and discontinued prices for the former specification. The index shown is developed from revenue and
volume data collected directly from petroleum companies. The pricing formerly was based
on spot quotations in trade journals, which over the past year have come to represent a
decreasing portion of domestic transactions. Because of the time required to collect the new
data there will be a one-month lag in pricing; e.g. the May index reflects changes in prices
from Mar. to Apr. Except for gasoline, (p. S-35) comparable data prior to April 197<$ are
available upon request.
