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.

MONTHLY AVERAGE FOR QUARTER, SEASONALLY ADJUSTED
U. 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.

National Income and Product
of the United States
1956
D,"ETAILED national income and product statistics for the year 1956, together with revised
estimates for 1954 and 1955, are presented in this report. 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. (See
footnote 1 to table 31.)

BUSINESS STATISTICS
J_ HE STATISTICS here are a continuation of the data published in BUSINESS STATISTICS, the 1955 Statistical Supplement to the SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (price $2.00) contains monthly data for the years 1951 through 1954 and monthly averages for earlier years
back to 1929 insofar as available; it also provides a description of each series and references to sources of monthly figures prior to 1951. Series
added or significantly revised since publication of the 1955 Supplement are indicated by an asterisk (*) and a dagger (f), respectively. Except
as otherwise stated, the terms "unadjusted" and "adjusted" refer to adjustment for seasonal variation.
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.
[Averages for the year 1955 are provided in the July 1956 issue of the SURVEY]
Unless otherwise stated, statistics through 1954 and
descriptive notes are shown in the 1955 edition of

Estimates based on anticipated capital expenditures of business; those for the 3d quarter of 1957 appear on p. 3 of the June 1957 issue of the SURVEY.
^Historical data (annual totals, 1939 and 1945-55; quarterly, unadj. and seasonally adj. at annual rates, 1947-55) appear on pp. 6 and 7 of the June 1956 SURVEY.
9 Includes data not shewn separately.
JRevised series. Annual estimates beginning 1910 and monthly data for the period January 1952-December 1955 for cash receipts have been revised to take into account recent information
on production, disposition, and price: revisions are shown on p. 19 of the March 1957 SURVEY. Indexes of cash receipts and volume of marketings (annuals, 1910-55; monthly, beginning
January 1947) have been revised to reflect adoption of the 1947-49=100 base period; for the volume index, also wider coverage and use of new price weights. The revised indexes of volume
of marketings appear on p. 20 of the April 1957 SURVEY. Unpublished indexes of cash receipts (prior to May 1955) will be shown later.

'Revised.
i Advance estimate.
^Revised series. Estimates of personal consumption expenditures have been further revised back to 1954 (all revisions—beginning with 1952—appear on pp. 5 ff. of this issue of the SURVEY) ;
for data prior to 1952, see the 1954 NATIONAL INCOME SUPPLEMENT.
9 Includes data not shown separately.
©Data beginning January 1951 have been revised to exclude data for milk dealers' establishments with processing on the premises (now classified as manufacturing plants); data prior to
April 1956 appear on p. 28 of the June 1957 SURVEY.
cfCorrection: 1951 monthly average for combined department-store and mail-order sales (old series) shown in the 1955 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS should read $927,000,000.

' Revised.
*> Preliminary.
1 Net sales; not comparable with data through January 1957, which are gross. Comparable figure for June 1956 is $88,276,000.
See note marked "©"
for this page.
JSee corresponding note on p. 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. Figures relate to establishments primarily engaged in local or long-distance trucking, transfer, and draying services or in the storage of farm products and other goods.

cf Data for January-June 1956 are based on classifications in Schedule G and are not entirely comparable with other months.
9 Data for semimanufactures reported as "special category, type 1" are included with finished manufactures. Effective with the October 1956 SURVEY, private relief shipments of food
products are included under manufactured foodstuffs rather than under finished manufactures, where they had been reported through 1955.

*New (or substituted) series in most cases. All series (except as noted) are compiled by the U. S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Mines; data prior to August 1954 for new series will be
shown later. General imports comprise imports for immediate consumption plus material entering the country under bond. Aluminum—prices of aluminum ingot are as quoted bv the
American Metal Market; shipments of mill products plus pig and ingot are compiled jointly by the U. S. Department of Commerce, BDSA and Bureau of the Census Copper—secondary production, exports, consumption, and stocks of copper and shipments of mill and foundry products are compiled by BDSA. Lead—producers' stocks of lead ore and bullion are compiled bv
the American Bureau of Metal Statistics; stocks of scrap lead are in gross weight. Zinc—primary smelter production of slab zinc is derived by subtracting secondary (redistilled) production
at primary and secondary smelters (compiled by Bureau of Mines) from total smelter production (compiled by American Zinc Institute).
ARevisions for 1954 (and 1955 for lead and aluminum castings) are available upon request.

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 almost three 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 July 1957 National Income Number
of the 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."
