Government JULY 1957 By the Office of Business Economics E, JCONOMIC ACTIVITY continued high at midyear. Aggregate output has been maintained at the record rate prevailing at the beginning of the year, but, in contrast to last year when a portion of the production went into inventories, all of the first-half output of 1957 was forfinaluse. The value of the gross national product rose in the first half of this year by 5 to 6 percent from the like period a year ago, with both the volume of output and prices higher. Prices in primary markets moved up in recent weeks after holding steady during the early months of the year. The general average of wholesale prices in June was up 2.8 percent over June 1956. Consumer prices increased in May when the index stood 3% percent above a year ago. The rise in retail prices reflects advances which were fairly general among the major categories of goods and services.

S. Department of Commerce, Office of Business Economics 1957 Data: BLS 57 — 22 — 1 Employment stable The relative stability in the volume of output so far this year is reflected in employment trends. Nonfarm employment is pictured in the chart at the left. The number of workers in nonagricultural establishments has been virtually stable since the year end, after allowing for seasonal influences. As the two lower panels suggest, the stability of employment thus far in 1957 was the result of a continuing moderate rise in the combined employment in trade, service and government which offset a reduction in workers in manufacturing establishments. Practically all of the year-to-year rise in nonfarm employment was also concentrated in the former grouping, as manufacturing employment was down fractionally, and changes in other major divisions were relatively small. As pressure for deliveries has eased on manufacturers, the length of the workweek has been reduced. Average hours worked per week was somewhat under 40 in the second quarter, almost half an hour less than a year ago. The workweek is also noticeably shorter in trade and in some of the mining groups, while hours worked have tended to be stable in other major industries. Income and Purchasing Rising incomes have provided strong support to overall demand throughout the first half of the year. The flow of income to individuals reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $340 billion in the first half, $18 billion or 5% percent above the comparable period last year. The real purchasing power of this income was higher than a year ago. Outlays for durable consumer goods have increased by small amounts since the end of last year; expenditures for food, other soft goods, and services have also continued moderately upward. Government buying has also contributed to the rise in aggregate demand. Federal outlays for goods and services SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS have risen at an annual rate of slightly more than $1 billion in each of the last four quarters. This reflects in part the higher costs of purchasing the increasingly complicated types of goods being procured for the national defense. State and local government outlays also have maintained their moderate upward pace through midyear as payrolls and expenditures on construction were higher. Increased wage and salaries stemmed from both employment and pay rate gains. State and local construction outlays continue to feature additions and improvements to highways, and other public works. Our foreign business has remained strong so far this year with exports up more than imports. United States investments abroad during the early part of this year were considerably higher than a year ago. The sharp rise in net exports of goods and services was in part financed by foreign countries out of their assets held in the United States, in contrast to last year when their financial resources in this country were increased. The rise in net exports stemmed mainly from higher merchandise shipments, reflecting in part temporary factors such as the closing of the Suez Canal, but also the continuing economic expansion abroad. Domestic fixed investment has been virtually stable since the start of the year. As reviewed last month, business spending on plant and equipment is still tending upward, but at a slower pace. On the other hand, residential construction activity continued to decline. While private housing starts, which are indicative of near-term residential construction activity, have firmed in the past few months, for the half-year they were at an annual rate of 950,000 units, off one-sixth from the 1956 first half. Inventories level off The basic change in the business pattern this year has been the shift in inventory policy which has kept production in line with final purchases. During 1956, it will be recalled, business added substantially to the volume of stocks. So far this year there has been virtually no change in holdings, as manufacturers cut their accumulation rate sharply and distributors appear to have carried on with a somewhat reduced volume of inventories. With other demands rising, this conservative inventory policy of business firms has been a moderating influence in the general supply-demand picture. July 1957 Profit margins narrowed Corporate profits data for the first quarter of 1957 indicate that the tendency for margins to narrow, a notable feature of developments in 1956, has continued into 1957 Before-tax profits, adjusted to exclude inventory gains and losses, were at an annual rate of $41 billion in the first quarter, only slightly above the corresponding quarter of last year and the total for 1956. Corporate sales were considerably higher than in the initial quarter of last year. Profits before taxes including inventory gains and losses amounted to $44 billion at annual rates. Here again there was little change from a year ago. After-tax profits, at a $2IK billion annual rate, also varied relatively little from a year ago, and were slightly above the annual levels of 1955 and 1956. Dividend payments continued to rise as corporations paid out a higher share of current earnings. Compared with the first quarter of 1956, they were up 6 percent. By industry, the profit experience in the first quarter varied considerably as compared with a year ago, with many industries bettering their early 1956 earnings but others falling behind. Total profits of manufacturing corporations, which account for somewhat over half the all-industry aggregate, rose less than seasonally in the first quarter. With auto production holding close to year end rates, the net income in this industry was up from the fourth quarter, which had been affected by the relatively slow buildup to full-scale production of the new models. The advance in auto profits was offset, however, by less favorable experience in other manufacturing groups. Among durable-goods lines, those most dependent on residential construction demand showed larger declines than usual for the time of year. Profits also tapered in a number of primary metals, machinery and nonauto transportation equipment lines. In nondurables manufacturing, net income was reported lower for textiles and apparel and for paper and printing. Changes in most other nondurables groups were minor. Profits in trade are indicated to have declined more than seasonally in the first quarter. Changes in other nonmanufacturing industries, including an advance in utility earnings and a moderate decline in transportation, were about in accordance with the usual seasonal movements. Expansion in Number of Business Concerns The business population totaled 4.3 million operating concerns at the beginning of this year, a net gain of more than 50,000 firms during 1956. This rise was about the same as in 1955, and about in line with the long-term trend. At the start of 1957, all major industries except manufacturing and construction were operating with the largest number of firms on record. During 1956, the addition in the number of business concerns (business births less deaths) occurred during the first half. The business population is seasonally high at midyear, however, and on a seasonally adjusted basis, growth— though slowed—continued in the second half. Net additions to the business population in each of the last 2 years were about the same as the annual average gain for the 1950-52 period. In 1948, the year which marked the end of a rapid postwar expansion, the business population increased by more than 110,000 firms. The mild recessionary influences of 1949, however, resulted in a net gain of less than 25,000 firms in that year while the 1953-54 slowdown was associated with an increase in number of businesses of only 10,000 for the 2 years combined. Industry trends mixed The 1956 pattern of changes in the business population as a whole and among the major industries was similar to that of 1955. The number of firms in manufacturing industries declined slightly last year, continuing the moderate reduction which began in 1952. Although increases were again recorded for SUEVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS July 1957 all other major industry divisions, the relative growth among contract construction firms slowed to about that of the business population as a whole (1.3 percent) in contrast to the conspicuously higher-than-average relative increases in this major industry division in every other postwar year. Wholesale trade gained about the same number of firms in 1956 as in 1955 (1 percent), while retail trade and service increases last year exceeded those of the previous year. Business turnover In 1956, some 381,000 new businesses were established, 327,000 businesses were discontinued and 327,000 firms were purchased, reorganized or otherwise transferred to new owners. These were close to the 1955 totals. Although nearly the same number of firms were newly established in 1956 as in 1955, a somewhat higher proportion of the 1956 entrants was concentrated in the first half of the year—a half-year pattern followed by each of the major industry divisions. In 1956 as a whole, the number of new businesses declined from the 1955 figure in contract construction, and increased in the service industries. All other major industry divisions showed little change between the 2 years. With respect to discontinuances, a sharp increase from 1955 to 1956 among contract construction firms was partially offset by a decline in the number in retail trade while the number of firms going out of business in each of the other major industry divisions remained about the same. It should be noted that discontinued businesses pertain to all closures regardless of reason, including those liquidated to realize a profit or because of the death or retirement of the owner. The number of industrial and commercial failures—as compiled by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc.—for the first 5 months of 1957 was 11 percent higher than in the JanuaryMay 1956 period. In absolute numbers the failures thus far in 1957 are the same as in 1940 and higher than in each of the intervening years, comparing the same period of each year. Since the number of firms in business is currently much higher than in the prewar years, however, the current failure rate of 50 per 10,000 concerns listed in the Dun and Bradstreet Reference Book is considerably less than the 66 per 10,000 in prewar 1940; the typical rate in the twenties was about 100. Failures are up particularly this year over last in construction (30 percent), and are moderately higher in each of the other major industries except manufacturing, where the number declined 5 percent. While most of the failures were among smaller firms, the number of failures with liabilities over $100,000 was one-fifth higher in 1957 than in the early months of last year.

For convenience, last year's revisions of the 1952 and 1953 figures have been reprinted, and the key series showing national income, gross national product, personal income, disposable income, and their relation to one another are provided for all years back to 1929. Eevised quarterly and monthly estimates for 1957 are given on pages S-l and S-9 of this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. The data for 1929-51 contained in the 1954 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 with the exceptions of the annual series on income by States and on the size distribution of family income. The State figures, recently published in a comprehensive volume, entitled Personal Income by States, will be brought up to date in the August issue of the SURVEY. The size distribution series, initiated in 1953 in a special supplement to the SURVEY, Income Distribution in the United States, was carried forward in articles in the March 1955 and June 1956 SURVEY. The present report is intended for use in conjunction with the 1954 National Income supplement. The numbering and stubs of the various tables correspond to those used in National Income. 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 given on page 32 of this report. The revisions of the estimates were occasioned in part by incorporation of data from Internal Revenue Service tabulations of corporate income tax returns for 1954. These are used in connection with several of the income and product series, notably corporate profits and nonfarm inventories. In addition to these and other back-year sources, revisions in the 1956 and 1957 figures reflect the incorporation of data for 1956 which become available only on an annual basis and hence could not be utilized in preparing the initial estimates for that period. Back to 1952 the figures incorporate changes in the Agriculture Department's estimates of farm income and related items (see the July 1956 Farm Income Situation, No. 159). It should be noted that the national income and product figures for 1951 and earlier years have not yet been adjusted to reflect these changes. The net income of farm proprietors for the years 1929-51, corresponding to line 14 in table 1, is shown on a revised basis on page 32 of the present report. Recent revisions in the additions and alterations component of the residential construction estimate published by the Building Materials and Construction Division of the Department of Commerce have not yet been incorporated.

S-10. cfRevised estimates for February 1953-December 1955 are available upon request. 9 Includes data for industries not shown. 0 Data beginning May 1956 are derived from an expanded sample of about 35,000 households in 330 areas. Data through April 1956 from the previous sample can be used as a continuous series with the estimates beginning May 1956; see the May 1957 SURVEY for May 1956 figures based on former sample. The estimates beginning January 1957 reflect certain changes in definitions for employment and unemployment as follows: Two small groups of persons formerly classified as employed are now classified as unemployed (except for the subgroup "in school and waiting to start new jobs" which is now counted as not in the labor force). Estimates for June 1957 on the old basis, comparable with data shown through 1956, in order as shown above (thous.) • 120,383* 72,742; 69,923; 66,892; 7,547; 59,345; 3,030; 47,641. Data on the old basis for earlier months of 1957 are shown in previous issues of the SURVEY. fData beginning January 1955 for employment, hours, and earnings have been adjusted to the 1st quarter 1956 benchmark; revised data for January 1955-April 1956 may be obtained, within the next few months, upon request to the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Manpower and Employment Statistics. *New series.

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.
