the BUSINESS SITUATION
Most broad indicators moved higher
in the opening month of the third
quarter—nonfarm payroll employment,
personal income, industrial production,
and retail sales. The unemployment rate
edged up although labor market conditions still appear to be tight. Demand
and inflationary pressures are likely to
continue strong this summer.

scheduled to increase this quarter, although not so rapidly as in the first half.
Data on new orders for capital goods
through June suggest that demand for
equipment is still quite strong (chart 1).
State and local spending remains on an
uptrend. Federal purchases, which decreased slightly in the first and again in
the second quarter, will rise in the third
quarter because of the Federal pay
raise. Government policies of restraint
have already affected housing outlays,
which should show a further decrease
in the current quarter. All told, it now
appears that final sales in the current
quarter should rise roughly as much as
in the second quarter. Since inventory
investment does not seem excessive and
inventories appear to be free of serious
imbalances, large departures from the
rates of inventory accumulation of the
first half of 1969 appear unlikely.

JL HE third quarter opened with economic activity continuing to move
ahead and inflationary pressures remaining strong. In July, employment
in nonfarm establishments showed
another large advance, which, in conjunction with increased pay scales,
notably for Federal employees, led to a
substantial rise in payrolls and personal
income. Industrial production recorded
a sizable advance. Little specific information is available at this time concerning demand. According to early

did not become effective on July 1 for
most Federal civilian employees, further effects will show up in August,
bringing the total raise to approximately $3.2 billion.
As a result of rising employment and
wage rates, private wages and salaries
were up $2 billion in July, somewhat
less than the average monthly rise in
1969. The steady rise in manufacturing
payrolls continued. In nonmanufacturing, however, service industry payrolls
were unchanged while construction
payrolls declined as strikes and rainy
weather apparently hurt employment.
Wage and salary increases in distributive industries more than offset these

changes in the nonmanufacturing
sector.
After exceptionally strong increases
in May and June, farm income declined in July as a result of a sharp
decrease in farm prices. All other types
of income added to the July income
flow with transfer payments showing a
larger than usual rise.
Employment and Unemployment Up

Employment gains as well as wage
rate increases have been important in
this year's payrolls advances. According
to preliminary reports, nonfarm industries added almost 200,000 workers
to their payrolls last month, close to
the average monthly gain in the second
quarter. The advance in manufacturing
was especially large—94,000—partly
because 30,000 workers who had been
on strike the month before returned to
their jobs.
The unemployment rate edged up to
3.6 percent in July from 3.4 percent
in June. The rate has been very low
throughout the year—3.3 percent in
the first quarter and 3.5 percent in the
second. Bad weather may have had an
influence on the July rise since unemployment rates were sharply higher in
two outdoor industries—construction
and agriculture. Fundamentally the
labor market picture continues to display considerable strength. One aspect
of this is the comparatively favorable
employment situation for young persons
this summer. According to Labor Department data, the unemployment rate
in June and July of this year for persons
from 16 to 21 years of age was below
that in the corresponding periods of
1967 and 1968, with the improvement
showing up for males and females and
for whites and nonwhites.

August 1969

compared with the 1.7 percent decrease
indicated by the figures available last
month.
The advance report for July put
retail sales somewhat above the June
level with the rise attributable to
nondurable goods stores. Sales in durables were depressed by an abrupt
decline in dealer sales of new domestictype cars. After rising in June to their
highest level of the 1969 model year—
an 8.8 million unit rate—sales fell to
an 8.1 million rate in July, below the
8}£ million rate of the 1969 model year
through June. Sales of foreign cars
were unchanged from June to July at
a seasonally adjusted annual rate of
1.1 million units. Although this was
below the pace of April and May, when
selling was inflated as an aftermath
of last winter's dock strike, it was
about the same as the rate that prevailed just before the strike began.

Wholesale Prices Higher

Pressures on prices are still very
strong. Last month, industrial price increases were widespread, but the rise in
the overall industrial index was again
dampened by the continued fall in
lumber prices. Allowing for this and the
usual seasonal movements suggests a
continued substantial strong underlying advance. In early August, steel
producers posted price increases averaging 4% percent for steel products
that account for 44 percent of steel
shipments.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, farm
prices declined sharply while food
prices were unchanged in July. However, the pronounced increases of this
spring are still to be fully felt at the
retail level.

Revised retail trade statistics for
May and June, indicate that the weakness that appeared so prominent last
month was overstated. Both May and
June sales have been revised upward;
the new figures, which are still not
final for June, now point to a very
minor decline from April to June, as

Revised Second Quarter GNP
Revised estimates for the second
quarter based on more complete source
information than was available a month
ago did not change the overall level of
GNP—$925 billion—but did alter its
composition. According to the earlier
figures, the $16 billion increase from the

August I960

first quarter consisted of a $3 billion
rise in inventory investment and a $13
billion rise in final sales. According to
the new figures, inventory investment
was little changed from the first quarter
and all of the GNP increase was in
final sales, which had risen $20 billion
the quarter before and an average of
$18 billion per quarter in 1968.
Among the final sales components,
personal consumption expenditures
were revised the most; with a $2 billion
upward revision they now show a
$10% billion gain over the first quarter.
Both exports and imports rose sharply
from the strike-affected first quarter
but the increases shown by the new
figures are somewhat less than previously indicated; net exports are now
unchanged from the January-March
period. Finally, government purchases
at present show a $3 billion rise, due to
a small upward revision centering in
State and local purchases.
Changes in real output

The revision did not alter greatly the
distribution of the 1% percent rise in
current dollar GNP between increased
prices and increased physical volume.
Prices as measured by the implicit
deflator for GNP rose 1% percent and
physical volume about % of 1 percent.
The second quarter results thus continue the pattern of progressive decline
in the rate of expansion in real GNP
that became evident after the second
quarter of 1968.
It is worth pointing out that a somewhat different pattern of real growth is
obtained if one uses the conceptually
equivalent measure of GNP—national
income plus capital consumption allowances, business transfers, and indirect business taxes less subsidies net
of the surplus of government enterprises
(table 4). This alternative differs from
the product measure of GNP—the
various final sales components plus inventory change—by the amount of the
statistical discrepancy. As indicated by
the movement of this discrepancy in
recent quarters, GNP measured from
the income side has held up somewhat
better than the product measure.
Applying the GNP deflator to the income measure of output also yields a



SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
pronounced retardation in real growth
in the third and fourth quarters of last
year. However, the pattern of progressive declines in quarterly growth rates
in 1969 is much less pronounced than
shown by the product measure of GNP.
Which measure is correct cannot be
determined at this time. Both show that
expansion so far in 1969 has been well
below the 4 percent rate that is frequently used as a gauge of the growth
potential of the economy.

profits for the same quarter last year
were $90% billion.
Profits as measured for national
income purposes, excluding inventory
gains or losses, fell $1 billion in the
spring quarter to a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of $88% billion. The comparable movements of book and national income profits reflected an
inventory valuation adjustment (IVA)

Price rise accelerates

The 1% percent rise in the GNP
deflator in the second quarter was the
largest since mid-1956 and the third
straight quarter of accelerated advance.
Prices had risen about 1 percent per
quarter from the third quarter of 1967
through the corresponding quarter of
1968. The rise over the past year now
comes to 4.6 percent.
The step-up in the price rise from the
first to the second quarter was due to
prices of personal consumption expenditures. Here the deflator rose 1.2 percent
after an advance of 0.8 percent in the first
quarter, with sharply higher prices for
food responsible for much of the acceleration. Because of fluctuating food
prices, quarterly movements in the
total personal consumption deflator
have been rather erratic; on a half year
basis, it appears that this deflator has
risen at a rather steady rate of 1 percent
per quarter since mid-1967.
The construction deflators, although
continuing to rise rapidly, showed a
considerable slowdown after very sharp
increases early this year. The pronounced runup and subsequent decline
in lumber prices were important factors
in these shifts. The deflator for producers7 durable equipment showed a
modest rise that matched the first
quarter advance, while the government
deflator recorded a step-up over the
first quarter increase.
Corporate Profits
Book profits of corporations fell
about $% billion or nearly 1 percent
to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of

Total and Per Capita Personal Income
by Regions and States, 1968
Both total and per capita income
rose to new highs in all regions and
States last year. The somewhat faster
rate of gain as compared with the
previous year was widespread geographicall}r. By regions, the largest
relative advances in 1968 were scored
in the South and West and the smallest
gains in the East and North.
Tables 4-63 and 70 contain breakdowns of personal income in each State
by type of income and by industrial
source. The figures for 1968 represent
the first detailed estimates prepared
for 1968; preliminary totals appeared
in the April 1969 SURVEY. Estimates
for 1966 and 1967 are revisions of the
estimates published in the SURVEY last
year.
An extension of tables 4-62 back to
1948 is available on request.

|EW highs in both total and per
capita personal income were registered
in each of the eight regions and in all
50 States in 1968. On a national basis,
total personal income rose 9% percent,
nearly one-third faster than in 1967.
This acceleration was reflected in most
areas of the country—44 States and
seven of the eight regions (Chart 8). In
New England, however, last year's relative gain was slightly below that of
1967, when it scored one of the largest
regional advances in the Nation.
Income was substantially higher in
most major industries in 1968. Wage
and salary payments in both soft and
hard goods manufacturing rose 8% perNOTE.—The estimates of State personal income were prepared in the Regional Economics Division under the supervision of Q. Francis Dallavalle. The component estimates
were prepared by Barbara Beacham, Elizabeth Queen,
Michael Carroll, William Reid, Victor Sahadachny, Sumner
Steinfeldt, Linnea Hazen, and Maurice Schlak.




cent, and there were gains of 10 percent
or more in contract construction, the
finance and insurance group, and government. In contrast, income originating in farming rose less than 1 percent.
Regionally, the largest personal income gains last year, about 10 percent
each, were registered in the three normally fast-growing southern and western areas—the Southwest, Southeast,
and Far West. Income from most major
industries increased at average or above
average rates in these three regions.
Gains were particularly large (well over
10 percent) in farm income in both the
Southwest and Far West, while the increase in manufacturing payrolls was
very strong (over 12 percent) in the
Southeast and Southwest.
Each of the other five areas—the
Mideast, Great Lakes, Rocky Mountain, Plains, and New England—experienced gains that were somewhat
below the national average. Agricultural earnings were off in each of these
regions, except New England. In that
region, income from most major sources
increased at rates below the national
average, the gain in manufacturing
payrolls being especially weak.
By States, the largest gains—10%
to a little more than 12 percent—were
registered in Hawaii, Nevada, Florida,
Maryland, Arizona, Colorado, Washington, Texas, Michigan, and Alaska.
The greatest increases—all somewhat
above 12 percent—were in the first
three States, each of which has a large
tourist sector. All three States enjoyed
unusually sharp and important income
gains in construction, transportation,
trade, and services. In contrasts, 1968
income increases were small—5 to 6
percent—in West Virginia, Idaho, Montana, and Nebraska. There were large

declines in farm income in Idaho, Nebraska, and West Virginia. West Virginia also experienced a drop in mining,
an important industry in the State;
most other income flows went up at a
pace below the national average. In
Montana, income from most major
sources increased at a slower rate than
they did nationwide.

August 196&

Regionally, gains in per capita income
in 1968 varied from highs of about 9
percent in the Southwest and Southeast
to lows of 7% percent in New England
and 1% percent in the Great Lakes.The
advances in the other four regions were
very close to the national average.
In seven of the eight regions (and in
29 of the 50 States), last year's dollar
gain in per capita income was the greatest on record; in the Plains, last year's
rise was exceeded very slightly in 1965.
In percentage terms, however, none of
the eight regions registered a record
gain last year. In the Southwest, Rocky
Mountain, and Far West, the 1968 relative gain in per capita income was exceeded in 1951; in each of the other five
regions, it was exceeded in 1951 and at
least one additional year.
The 1967-68 acceleration in the rate
of gain in per capita income was widely
dispersed. In seven of the eight regions
—New England was again the exception—and in 44 States, the percentage
rise in per capita income was considerably larger in 1968 than it had been in
1967. The most pronounced acceleration in the rate of growth in per capita
income—60 percent or more—occurred
in the Great Lakes, Rocky Mountain,
and Plains.
In terms of real purchasing power per
person, two factors—unusually sharp
increases in both taxes and the cost of
living—greatly reduced last year's large
gain in per capita personal income,
both in the Nation and most likely in
each region and State. The 8}i percent
gain in per capita personal income is
reduced to a little more than 3 percent.
This is lightly above the 1967 increase
and well above the compounded average
annu'al gain of 2.3 percent from 1948
to 1968.
New estimates of disposable income
by States are not available currently
and there are no estimates of price
change by region. State estimates of
disposable personal income for the
years 1929, 1940, and 1948-68, were
published in the April 1969 SURVEY
and will be brought up to date in the
April 1970 SURVEY.

.IKE STATISTICS here update series published in the 1967 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, biennial statistical supplement to the SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (price $2.50) provides a description of each series, references to sources of earlier figures, and historical data
as follows: For all series, monthly or quarterly, 1963 through 1966 (1956-66 for major quarterly series), annually, 1939-66; for selected series,
monthly or quarterly, 1947-66 (where available). Series added or significantly revised after the 1967 BUSINESS STATISTICS went to press are indicated
by an asterisk (*) and a dagger (f), respectively; certain revisions for 1966 issued too late for inclusion in the 1967 volume appear in the monthly
SURVEY beginning with the September 1967 issue. Also, unless otherwise noted, revised monthly data for periods not shown herein corresponding
