JTPUT, consumption, and investment were at peak rates
as the second quarter closed. In both dollars and real terms,
output was higher in the second quarter, with income also up.
Agricultural income has been lowered by a further decline
in prices, and drought conditions in the Southwest were an
adverse development in the farm sector during the recent
period.
Total construction activity held to a high pace at midyear.
The value put in place in the first half of 1953 exceeded the
total of a year ago by 8 percent. The annual rate of new
housing nonfarm starts so far this year has been above 1.1
million at seasonally adjusted annual rates.
Government purchases for national security purposes increased moderately in the second quarter.
For the fiscal year 1952-53 as a whole, total cash expenditures of the Federal Government approximated $76 billion,
exceeding cash receipts by over $5 billion. In the preceding
fiscal year cash expenditures of $68 billion were balanced by
!*eceipts.
Output of major consumer durable goods in the first half
of 1953 was about 40 percent higher than in the corresponding period a year earlier. In the second quarter production
eased off moderately as temporary work stoppages affecting
the flow of parts slowed automotive assembly lines, and some
cutbacks occurred in household appliances.
Consumer demand for passenger cars has been running
substantially higher than a year earlier. This, together with
the low level of stocks at the beginning of the year, has
pushed output to a new high for the first half of the year—
assemblies totaling 3% million.
For major consumer durables other than autos, the
demand-supply situation has been less favorable than for
most of the other principal sectors of the economy. The
relative rise in output since last year for this group of
products—especially appliances and radio-television—has
about matched that of passenger cars and of producers'
durables, but the rise in demand has been more limited—

much the same as that which has occurred for nondurable
goods.
Retail sales of household durables were seasonally high in
the fourth quarter and declined less than seasonally in the
first quarter. Accordingly, some letup in demand in the
past quarter was accompanied by stock accumulation.
Available data for a limited number of products suggest
first a rise in trade stocks, followed promptly by reduced
ordering and an increase in factory stocks and then by
curtailment in output. It is clear, however, that the pattern
varies by product and by firm, and is much less pronounced
for those products whose sales reach a seasonal high in the
summer.

SEASONALLY ADJUSTED
U S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE. OFFICE OF BUSINESS ECONOMICS
For household durables as a group, output reached a peak
in the early months of the year and has declined moderately
in the last few months. In May production was down 10
to 15 percent from the first quarter high rate, on a seasonally
adjusted basis. Among the major products, output of
television sets has shown the largest decline, part of which
is seasonal in character. Though this industry is so new
that the seasonal pattern is not yet fully established, some
of the decline reflects inventory accumulation associated
with declining sales during recent months following a strong
upsurge in sales late in 1952. A more moderate decline has
occurred in output of radios.
Major household appliance production has been about onethird higher in the first five months of 1953 than in the cor
responding period of 1952, with some tapering off after the
first quarter of the year. Incomplete information on sales
and stocks of appliances suggests some inventory accumulation at both manufacturing and trade levels though sales
have continued slightly higher than a year ago. Substantial
reductions have occurred in home laundry equipment output
with smaller declines in most of the other major appliances.
Other household durables—carpets and rugs and furniture
and bedding—have increased less in production in the past
year, but there has been little curtailment from the first to
the second quarter of this year on an adjusted basis. Retail
sales of furniture and homefurmshings stores have maintained
a slight increase in sales over a year ago.
Price level stable
Total production continues at high rate . . .
200
July 1953
With demand in general keeping pace with high production,
prices as a whole have shown little movement. Within the
price structure, however, price changes have reflected shifting
supply-demand relationships in the various sectors of the
economy. The average of all commodities other than farm
products and foods has advanced in recent weeks and is
somewhat higher than a year ago whereas prices of farm
products have declined further in the past month and are
now 13 percent below a year ago. As large supplies of farm
products have moved to market, domestic consumption
has been generally stable, but export demand is considerably
lower than a year ago and a sizeable portion of current
marketings is going into government stocks.
Serious drought in the Southwest has resulted in heavy
marketings of range cattle and renewed declines in cattle
prices. Emergency measures have been taken to provide
low-cost feed for cattle in the drought-stricken area and to
increase price-support purchases of beef.
Insofar as consumer prices on the average are concerned,
the index continues to move within a narrow range. In May
of this year the BLS index was 114 (1947-49=100), a level
which was the same as in July of last year.
Inventory movements
The high volume of business activity in recent months has
been accompanied by some advance in inventories. In
general, recent changes have reflected a variety of factors of
which the following are the most important. First, is the
continued expansion in the nondurable goods industries,
where stocks are somewhat low in relation to the volume of
sales; hence, the change reflects the rise in activity. Second,
is the rise in the rate of output of the metal fabricating
industries from the first quarter. Here the rise in stocks is
in part also due to special developments in the steel industry,
including the change in materials controls and some shifting
in the character of production. Another influence has been
the work stoppages which have resulted in some inventory
increases as the flow of end products was reduced. Third,
in some industries, particularly in consumer durable goods
lines earlier discussed, there has been a fall in demand,
which has resulted in an accumulation of stocks before
production was adjusted downward.
Relative to sales, business inventories are about the same
as a year ago, with lower ratios among both durable and
nondurable goods manufacturers offsetting somewhat higher
trade ratios. The stock-sales ratio is currently at 1.6
months, about the same as at the beginning of the year.
In industry the ratio is somewhat below December, whereas
for trade it is fractionally above.
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
July 1053
The rise in stocks during the second quarter does not represent any slackening in demand either at intermediate or
at final levels. New orders received by manufacturers have
•ontinued at high rates. They have not come up to current
shipments, however, and unfilled order backlogs have declined gradually in recent months. Manufacturers' shipments in May were near the all-time high reached in the
preceding month on an adjusted basis and were more than
10 percent above the corresponding month of 1952. Retail
sales have been sustained at a high rate with estimates for
May slightly above those in the preceding month and substantially above a year earlier.
Employment seasonally high
The June figures on employment show that the usual
seasonal expansion at this time of the year is absorbing the
influx of temporary workers into the labor force during the
summer months. Estimated at 63.2 million by the Census
Bureau, total civilian employment was about IK million
higher than in May. Nonagricultural employment at 55}i
million was little changed from May.
A marked upswing in agricultural employment accounted
for most of the month's employment gain. With large numbers of housewives as well as students entering the farm work
force between May and June, agricultural employment
climbed to an estimated 7.9 million in June from 6.4 in the
previous month. This increase, however, was the first of
any consequence this year as farm operations have been
lagging behind schedule because of bad weather earlier in the
season. Farm employment in June still appeared to be
running slightly under the 1952 level.
The income received by the labor force is considerably
larger than a year ago. Wage and salary income is running
some $15 billion higher at annual rates than in June of last
year, a rise of about 8 percent. Since, as pointed out above,
consumer prices are about the same, the real purchasing
power of this income is higher by a similar proportion.
This is the basic factor in the enlarged demands for consumption which so far in 1953 have run 6 to 7 percent over
last year.
Recent Money Market Developments
TNVESTMENT requirements of business were sustained in
1 the second quarter at close to recent record volumes. With
increases in fixed capital outlays and inventory requirements,
business financing has depended not only on the large volume
of funds flowing from operations—retained earnings and depreciation—but also on a wide use of external funds. In
the light of the generally favorable business situation, capital
needs in general were met, though increased difficulties were
no doubt experienced by marginal borrowers and interest
rates continued to rise. Added costs of borrowed capital
apparently were not a major deterrent to completion of
planned investment programs nor to a continued high rate
of consumer purchases of durable goods.
Loans drop less than seasonal
Loans to business since the start of the year have shown
a less-than-seasonal decline. Commercial loans at leading
city banks at the end of June were about $0.6 billion, or less
than 3 percent, below the end of 1952. In this period of the
year there is normally a decline of more than this relative
amount as commodity dealers and food and tobacco processors repay their heavy seasonal borrowing of the preceding
fall. Loans to these businesses were down sharply but borrowing by durable goods manufacturers arid trade firms
continued to expand.
Probably the most important factor in the underlying
expansionary trend in bank loans to business has been the
continued rise in working capital needs associated with the
expansion of business activity, particularly in defense and
defense-related lines. As may be seen from the chart, the
overall movement of loans thus far in 1953 has roughly
paralleled that of the comparable period last year. For 1952
as a whole, total commercial bank loans to business increased
by about $2 billion, or 8 percent. The amount and rate of
increase over the last year and a half has, however, been
moderated substantially as compared with 1951 when bank
borrowing by business firms increased by $4 billion, or
one-fifth.
The active demand for outside long-term funds is evident
in the lower panel of the chart. Preliminary data suggest
that in the second quarter new corporate securities sold for
cash were in excess of $2% billion, close to the volume raised
in the same period in 1952. These figures include in 1953 a
relatively small amount of refinancing issues. The net
inflow of money to corporate business from the new securities
markets in 1952—new issues less retirements—ibotaled
slightly in excess of $8 billion, and the inflow in the first
half of 1953 was apparently about equal to that of a year ago.
Manufacturing and electric utility concerns continue to be
the predominant users of the new issue markets thus far in
1953. In the first 5 months (for which detailed industry
data are currently available) these 2 industry groups each
accounted for about $1.2 billion out of a total of $3.6 billion
in the period. It appears that whereas manufacturing concerns have tapered off their demand from the exceptionally
high level of 1952, the current rate of utility company flotations is substantially higher than in the preceding year.
Over the past 2% years, the annual rate of stock issues has
remained fairly stable at around $2 billion. New bond
flotations accounted for most of the $2 billion rise in new
issues from 1951 to 1952, and for the modest decline in the
rate of new issues from 1952 to the first half of this year.
Interest rates higher
Recent trends in money and interest rates may be seen
in the "Bond Yield" chart. The tightening of the money
market and the resulting rise of both short- and long-term
rates in 1953 reflects three major developments: The continuing heavy demand for funds on the part of the private
economy; an increase—both actual and prospective—in
financing requirements of the Federal Government; and the
restraining action of the central monetary authority.
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
The rise in short-term rates for the most part continued
the almost steady upward trend which has been underway
since 1946. While short-term rates were rising, the market
for long-term funds over most of the postwar period was
steadied by support operations of the Federal Reserve System. Beginning with the "accord" reached with the Treasury in March 1951, the Federal Reserve initiated a program
designed to relieve itself of the necessity for these support
activities, which had limited the use of traditional central
bank mechanisms of credit control.
Julv 195
with the average yield on corporate bonds averaging clps
to 3 percent and the yield on Treasury securities amountin
to 2.7 percent. Beginning in the latter part of 1952, lon§
term interest rates again moved upward, with United Stat/
Governments reaching 2.9 percent in March of this year.

Prior to the accord, long-term interest rate movements
had been confined to narrow limits, following a gradual
downward trend in 1948 and 1949 and a subsequent moderate
uptrend. With the monetary authorities exercising a policy
of mild restraint following the accord, long-term yields rose
rather sharply in the first half of 1951 and then stabilized
53-106
Following the Treasury announcement on April 8 that it
would raise $1 billion through a new 30-year bond issue
bearing interest at 3% percent, prices on outstanding longterm Governments were further lowered, and yields rose to
over 3.1 percent.
Over the period since the accord Federal Reserve support
activity was held to the minimum consistent with helping
the banking system meet seasonal demands for credit and
Treasury financing requirements. Restraint on the money
market was maintained in large part by the central banks'
policy of putting commercial banks in the position of having
to borrow from the Federal Reserve when they needed additional funds. Repayment of these short-term borrowings
tended to withdraw bank funds from the loan market as
soon as the exceptional needs were met. To make this
policy more effective, the Federal Reserve banks last January raised by one-fourth percent the discount rate on
borrowings from the 1% percent on advances secured by
Government securities and eligible paper—a rate which had
been in effect since shortly after the outbreak of Korean
hostilities.

During the most recent period, bond market fluctuations
have been substantial, resulting in reappraisal of plans for
financing by some borrowers. With overall business demand
for both long- and short-term funds continuing to put an
exceptional strain on the money market, the Federal Reserve
authorities aided the market through acquisition of shortterm Treasury securities. This is illustrated in the following
table showing changes in Federal Reserve credit for 4-week
intervals in the recent past.
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
July 1953
In the period ended April 29, member banks increased
bheir reserve balances by about $180 million. It is on the
" asis of these balances that the banks in the system are able
to expand, or must contract, their earning assets such as
loans or securities, and through such action, tend to affect
the money supply. Since reserve requirements are a fraction
of demand deposits, the banking system may expand its
demand deposits and earnings assets by a multiple of the
addition to reserves.

The April increase in reserves stemmed from banks borrowing from the Federal Reserve—there was no change in the
latter's holdings of Government securities. In view of the
commercial bankers' traditional unwillingness to stay long
in debt to the Federal Reserve, the $180 million increase in
^serve balances in April may be considered to have been of
& temporary nature.
In the subsequent 8 weeks member banks did liquidate a
substantial portion of their borrowings, but Federal Reserve
acquisition of Treasury securities of about $1 billion more
than offset repayments, and on net balance total reserves
increased $870 million. The resultant easing of the pressures
on the money market was reflected in some improvement in
bond prices and, by the end of June, the average yield of
3.05 percent on long-term Treasury issues was slightly below
the earlier peak.
The money market now faces a large seasonal need for
short-term bank funds. The Treasury, moreover, has entered the market for $5% billion of new money to cover the
expected excess of expenditures over the seasonally low receipts in the current quarter. In this setting the Federal
Reserve took the further step in early July of freeing some
additional bank funds by reducing the amount of reserves
required to be held by member banks. With the present
volume of demand deposits, the reserves "set free" would
amount to $1.2 billion. Thus these additional free reserves
may serve as the base for expansion in the demand deposits
and earning assets of the banking system.
With business firms reporting intentions to continue a high
rate of fixed capital outlays, the demand for mortgage funds
by home purchasers still high, and the United States Treasury in need of large sums to finance the deficit and refinance
its short-term obligations, total demands on the capital market will be unusually high in the months ahead. On the
other hand, it should be noted that consumer savings are also
high and gross business savings are expanding. In the nearterm, depreciation charges will increase under the growing
impact of the accelerated schedule on defense facilities, while
reductions in individual and corporate income taxes are proposed for the beginning of next year.

National Income and Product
of the United States, 1952
JLJETAILED national income and product statistics for the year 1952, together with
revised estimates for 1951 and 1950, are presented in the following pages. In addition the
revised data for 1949, published last July, are reprinted without change. Revised quarterly
and monthly estimates for 1953 are shown on pages S-l and S-8 of this issue of the SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS.
The data for 1929-48 contained in the 1951 National Income supplement and those for
later periods given in this issue of the SURVEY together represent the entire set of national
income and product statistics published by the Office of Business Economics. Monthly,
quarterly, and annual income and product statistics (except the annual series on State income payments) published in other issues of the SURVEY are hereby superseded.
The present report is intended for use in conjunction with the 1951 National Income
supplement. The numbering and stubs of the various tables correspond to those used in the
supplement. Footnotes, definitions, and the descriptions of concepts and sources and
methods have not been repeated. A list of errata in the National Income supplement is to be
found at the end of this report.
Specific attention is called to the location in this report of the table on "Gross National
Product or Expenditure in Constant Dollars/' together with the companion table on "Implicit Price Deflators for Gross National Product by Major Segments." In the 1951 National
Income supplement, these were presented in a special section (part IV) relating to "Gross
National Product in Constant Dollars." Here, as indicated by the list on the facing page,
they appear in the series of annual tables, following table 39.
The revisions of the estimates were occasioned by new source materials that have
become available since the publication of the National Income supplement. Important
among these were the Bureau of Internal Revenue tabulations for 1949 of the income tax
returns of corporations and sole proprietorships, and preliminary tabulations of corporate
returns for 1950. Inclusion of these data was the chief factor in the revision of a number of
the income and product series, notably corporate profits, income of unincorporated nonfarm
businesses, and nonfarm inventories.
Major new or revised source materials also incorporated include estimates of the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics relating to income and capital formation in farming; data on the
flow of producers' durable equipment derived from the 1951 Annual Surveys of Manufactures
of the Bureau of the Census and from the 1951 and 1952 Reports of Plant Operations for Metal
Working Industries prepared by the Bureau of the Census for the National Production
Authority; information on corporate profits in Wholesale and Retail Trade for 1950, 1951,
and 1952 collected jointly by the Securities and Exchange and Federal Trade Commissions;
and sample surveys of the gross and net incomes of lawyers, physicians, and dentists for 1950
and 1951 by the Office of Business Economics. New data from the 1950 Census and from
various sample surveys have been used to derive revised estimates of rent and related items.

§The term "business" here includes only manufacturing and trade. Business inventories as shown on p. S-l cover data for all types of producers, both farm and nonfarm. Unadjusted
data for manufacturing are shown on this page; those for retail and wholesale trade, on pp. S-8, S-9, and S-10.
tRevised series. All components of business sales, inventories, and orders have been revised since publication of the 1951 STATISTICAL SUPPLEMENT. The latest revision (affecting data
back to 1949) and appropriate explanations of changes for all series except retail sales appear in the October 1952 SURVEY (see pp. 12 ff.), in the November 1952 issue (see pp. 18 ff.), and in the
March 1953 issue (see p. 20); the new estimates of retail sales (which begin with data for 1951), together with the revised old series for 1951, were first shown in the September 1952 SURVEY,
pp. 17 ff. Data through 1948 for manufacturers' sales and inventories and wholesale sales and inventories, comparable with current figures, appear in the October 1951 SURVEY (see pp. 17-
19 and 23, 24).

9 Ratio of prices received to prices paid (including interest, taxes, and wage rates).
cTFor actual wholesale prices of individual commodities, see respective commodities.
tRevised series. Consumer price indexes through 1952 reflect shift in base period and changes in classifications; data beginning 1953 represent the completely revised or "new index", incorporating revised weights, expanded sample of items, and revised sample of cities; revised data for 1913-51 appear on p. 23 of the April 1953 SURVEY. Revised wholesale price indexes reflect
use of new base period, expansion of commodity coverage, and changes in the classification system, weights, and calculation method; for monthly data (1947-51), see pp. 22-24 of the March 1952
SUEVEY;
for monthly data (1926-46) for "all commodities" and "all commodities, except farm products and foods", see p. 24 of the June 1952 issue.

JBeginniiie with the June 1953 SURVEY, data for employment and hours and earnings have been revised (beginning 1947) to adjust to a first quarter 1951 benchmark and to incorporate more
detailed weighting procedures primarily in the manufacturing division. Also, the hourly earnings figures have been recalculated, beginning 1951, using as weights (for industry divisions and
groups) figures rounded to the nearest cent instead of the nearest mill. Revised data beginning 1947 are available from the compiling agency.
NOTE FOR EMPLOYMENT SERIES, P. S-10. Beginning January 1953, estimates are based on the 1950 census; unrevised estimates for January consistent with the 1940 census and
comparable with data through December 1952 are as follows (thous.): Civilian noninstitutional population—total, 110,450; male 52,345; labor force—total, 62,294; male, 43,213;.employed—total,
60,406- male, 41,892; agricultural, 5,443; nonagricultural, 54,963; unemployed, 1,888; not in labor force, 48,156 (data for employment and unemployment estimated by OBE). The overall increase
Digitized forinFRASER
the level of the labor force (roughly 400,000 for the total; 150,000 for nonagricultural; 250,000 for agricultural) is not fully reflected in the January figures, but is spread over the 3-month period,
January-March 1953. Appropriate allowances should be made in comparing the estimates beginning 1953 with those for earlier periods.

| Revised series. Beginning 1952, data cover all domestic (land-line) employees except messengers and those compensated entirely on a commission basis; earlier data exclude general and
divisional headquarters personnel and trainees in school.
cfFigures beginning November 1952 include unemployment compensation benefits under the Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1952 (data compiled by the United States Department
of Labor, Bureau of Employment Security) in addition to the allowances under the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 (data compiled by the Veterans Administration). The BES data cover
veterans with military service since June 1950 and include those filing for payments to supplement benefits under State programs but exclude veterans filing for payments to supplement benefits
under the railroad unemployment insurance program; the number involved under the latter program is relatively small.

^Revisions for January-October 1950 are available upon request.
cfThe figures include a comparatively small number of "other footwear" which is not shown separately from shoes, sandals, etc., in the distribution by types of uppers; there are further
small differences between the sum of the figures and the totals for shoes, sandals, and play shoes, because the latter, and also the distribution by kinds, include small revisions not available by
types of uppers.
§Excludes "special category" items.
*New series. Data are compiled by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics; monthly data prior to April 1952 (February 1951 for softwoods) will be shown later.
©Revised monthly data for 1948-March 1952 will be shown later.

©Data beginning 1951 have been adjusted in accordance with the revised export schedule to exclude exports of tinplated circles, strips, etc.
§ Data beginning January 1951 are estimated totals derived from a survey of approximately 1,300 establishments by the Bureau of Mines and the Bureau of the Census.
(^Beginning January 1953, new weighting factors have been introduced and delivered prices eliminated. Quotations comparable with earlier prices may be derived by adding $1.58 (plus a
very small adjustment for any freight-rate increases) to the stated prices.
IData beginning August 1952 are estimated industry totals based on reports from producers whose shipments in 1947 accounted for 98 percent of total shipments; unfilled orders are for
commercial forgings only, i. e., exclude forgings for own use. Data for May 1951-July 1952 are as reported by producers whose shipments averaged 50 tons or more per month; unfilled orders
for this period include captive shipments. Figures for January 1951-July 1952 revised to represent estimated industry totals will be shown later.
J For 1953, percent of capacity is calculated on annual capacity as of January 1,1953, of 117,547,470 tons of steel; 1952 data are based on capacity as of January 1,1952, of 108,587,670 tons.

NOTE FOR MILL MARGINS SERIES, p. S-39. The method of compiling average mill margins has been revised to incorporate new constructions, similar to those formerly used
which are no longer being made in quantity, and to substitute "landed" raw cotton prices (Memphis territory growth) for the 10 spot market quotations. Revised data for August 1950 through
1951 will be shown later.

tRevised series. See note at bottom of p. S-38.
JData for July and October 1952 and January and April 1953 cover 5-week periods and for other months, 4 weeks; stocks and number of active spindles are for end of period covered.
(^Beginning 1951, production of broad-woven goods is classified according to principal fiber content; production of fabrics containing 25.0-49.9 percent wool and rayon and cotton fabrics produced on woolen and worsted looms (which cannot be distributed between cotton and rayon goods) amounted to approximately 73 million yards in 1950.
*New series. Wholesale prices are compiled by the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics; monthly data beginning 1947 (except for cotton yarn and sheeting) will be shown
later. Imports of wool are compiled by the U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census; dutiable wool covers essentially the apparel class; data prior to April 1952 will be shown later.
9 Substituted series. Data beginning January 1950 will be shown later.
O Beginning 1951, looms weaving fabrics principally wool by weight.
Almports of unmanufactured wool converted to a clean-content basis; imports were formerly shown in actual weight, i. e., in the condition received.

Revised.
fRevised series. Beginning with data for 1951, the Bureau of the Census reports for woolen and worsted woven fabrics refer to goods which are principally wool by weight (i. e., exclude
fabrics containing 25-49.9 percent wool previously included).
*New series. Compiled by U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
More complete specifications are: Flannel suiting—men's and boys', woolen, stock dyed, fine and medium
grade; worsted suitino—women's and children's gabardine. Monthly data beginning 1947 will be shown later.
JData through December 1950 for aircraft and December 1951 for trucks and buses exclude military-type exports not shown separately for security reasons; thereafter the figures including
those for passenger cars, exclude all military-type exports.
cfTotal includes production of converter dollies not included in the detail; prior to January 1952, production of these types was included in the "all other" and "total complete trailers"
categories.
§Not including railroad-owned private refrigerator cars.

ON THE NATIONAL
ECONOMY
The National Income and Gross National Product Series
BUSINESS MANAGERS and analysts,
economists and students use NATIONAL INCOME
as a basic guide—a necessary statistical tool in
the determination and evaluation of long-term
business and financial trends.
A RECORD covering two decades is available
in the definitive NATIONAL INCOME volume,
which provides a complete annotated description of the national accounts back to 1929.
For handy reference, its comprehensive statistical tables are accompanied by an explanation
of fundamental concepts and underlying
procedures.
This volume fully explains the methods
which the Department of Commerce has designed to form an inter-related system of
national economic accounting. The historical
statistics provided in NATIONAL INCOME constitute the background data to which all other
official national income and gross national
product series are keyed. The National Income Supplement is essential as a base-book
for use in connection with the more recent
statistics presented in the monthly SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS.
NATIONAL INCOME is a publication of the
Office of Business Economics, which compiles
the official quarterly and annual income and
product figures for the United States.
FOR A COMPOSITE PICTURE of the Nation's
economy after 1929—for use together with the
latest July SURVEY to establish a detailed and
authoritative record up to this year—order a
copy of the
to the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
". . . the most comprehensive kit of statistical tools ever
assembled in this or any other country."
