By the Office of Business Economics
E,CONOMIC developments in June suppliedfor the second
E
additional evidence of firmer business conditions, and
National Income
quarter as a whole the total volume of activity matched
that recorded for the preceding 8-month period.
Fixed investment has moved lower and the draw-down
of business stocks is continuing. The pace of inventory
liquidation has been about the same as earlier in the year,
however, and thus has exerted no further downward pressure on business activity. Consumer buying improved
slightly in the spring months, and Government purchases of
goods and services also appear on the up-grade.
The flow of consumer purchasing power has advanced
in the recent period, making up the decline which occurred
between last summer's peak and the mid-winter low. As
emphasized previously in the SURVEY, transfer payments
and dividends were major factors sustaining personal
income better than production during the period of downturn. In the past few months, however, individuals' earnings
from current production showed signs of leveling out and
most recently of advance reflecting changes in the labor
market situation.
The number of workers in nonfarin establishments was
close to 50K million in June, up slightly from the April low
after allowance for seasonal influences, and about 2 million
below a year ago. Factory emplojrment, which has borne
the brunt of the cyclical downturn, remained virtually stable
in May and June, not only in total but for most of the major
industry groups which had cut back their work forces sizably.
The manufacturing workweek was lengthened somewhat
more than seasonally over the spring period, and this factor
also served to sustain earnings in private production.
Recent pay raises to Federal personnel, military and civilian, are currently providing a particular fillip to total payrolls
and, in addition, this income flow is being augmented currently by the retroactive feature of the civilian worker increase.

QUARTERLY TOTALS, SEASONALLY ADJUSTED, AT ANNUAL RATES
U. S. Department of Commerce, Office of Business Economics
58-15-
The recent showing of personal income has been reflected
in consumer markets. Outlays for soft goods and services
continued to edge upward this past spring and are currently
at new highs. The decline in outlays for consumer durables,
consumers' buying, appeared to have been substantially
arrested.
Sales of new automobiles were at a fairly even pace during
the first half of this year, but—at an annual rate of slightly
better than 4 million—-were well below the volume in any
year since 1952. To some extent, recent purchases of new
cars involved a drawing down of dealers' inventories. These
are at present moderately below a yea!' ago, though still on
the high side, given the current rate of consumer buying.
SUEVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS
Consumer buying of other hard goods has also shown little
change in recent months, and in total was moderately below
a year ago.
Government spending appears to be tilting upward as
Federal purchasing has made a mild turn around and State
and local expenditures continue on a rising trend. Overall
changes are not large, with national security 'outlays at
about last autumn's rate.
As indicated by the recent OBE-SEC survey, business
outlays for plant and equipment are scheduled to continue
downward for some time. On the other hand, residential
construction appears to have been fairly well maintained in
recent months, after a somewhat larger than season fall-off
during the winter period.
Actions preliminaiy to building suggest some possible
improvement in home construction in the period immediately
ahead. Eequests for Government-supported mortgage financing were exceptionally high this past spring, far above
a year ago. Total private housing starts in recent months
exceeded 1 million units on a seasonally adjusted annual
rate basis, up noticeably from the relatively low volume of
last winter and slightly above the same period of 1957.
Factory sales steady
The recent leveling of activity was reflected in manufacturers' sales and new orders. Factory shipments rose
slightly in May, the second month of relative firmness following a 14-month decline. Manufacturers' incoming business was also up a little. However, the flow of new orders
continued below shipments and backlogs were again lowered.
Manufacturers have continued to reduce substantially
their stocks of goods on hand. This liquidation, proceeding
at a uniform rate of roughly $% billion a month from, last
December, carried total inventories in May $3 billion under
a year ago, with holdings of durable-goods producers accounting for the bulk of the decline. The reduction most recently
was mainly in finished goods, whereas earlier it had centered
in working stocks. With sales somewhat firmer, inventorysales ratios have recently moved a little lower but remain in
excess of a year ago, most notably in the durable-goods
industries.
NATIONAL INCOME LEVELS OFF
Eeflecting the contraction of business since last summer,
the flow of national income in the first half of 1958 was down
about 5 percent from the third-quarter 1957 rate.
In terms of the new and revised series presented in this
issue, national income declined $7 billion in the fourth quarter
and $11 billion in the first, to a seasonally adjusted annual
rate just over $350 billion. No marked change in the total
is indicated for the second quarter, for which data are at
hand except for corporate profits.
Declines from last summer's peak to the first part of the
current year have centered in corporate profits and, to a
relatively lesser extent, in private payrolls. Changes in
other types of income have been mixed. Proprietors'
earnings reflect a contraction in the nonfarm segment and
an approximately offsetting advance in the income of farm
operators. Net interest has continued its postwar uptrend
in recent quarters, and the rental income of persons likewise
has moved fractionally higher.
Compensation of employees for the first half was $4
billion below the annual rate recorded in the final quarter
of last year, and $6}C billion under the summer peak. The
first-quarter 1958 figure of $251 billion was substantially
maintained during the spring, however, as private payrolls
expanded somewhat in May and June to cancel most of the
month-to-month decline registered earlier in the year.
July 1958
The firming of wage and salary income, like the earlier
contraction, stemmed chiefly from developments in durablegoods manufacturing and in other commodity-producing
industries. Payrolls in manufacturing showed signs of improvement this spring, after having recorded marked declines in the fourth and first quarters. Earnings from
contract construction recovered the bulk of last winter's
greater than seasonal drop; mining, however, slowed further
in the second quarter after having contributed to the earlier
decline.
Payrolls in the distributive industries have been relatively
stable over the past year. While since last summer cuts in
railroad wages and salaries have lowered the transportation
component, employee earnings in trade have been comparatively well maintained, and the utilities have moved up
slightly in the face of the general cyclical downswing. The
service industries have likewise manifested strength. In the
government category, a moderate advance has reflected
growth at the State and local level, supplemented by the pay
increase recently approved for Federal employees.
Profits lowered
Accounting for the larger part of the drop in national
income, the corporate profits share—profits plus inventory
valuation adjustment—fell from a $43-billion rate in the
third quarter of 1957 to less than $39 billion in the fourth,
and to $3IK billion in the first quarter of this year. While
second-quarter data are not yet available, it would appear
that, with production cuts tapering in the hard-hit durables
manufacturing groups and retail sales firmer, the profit
downtrend was slowed if not reversed.
Book profits reflected the production decline as well as a
falling off of the inventory gains which bolstered them in
1957. Profits after taxes, at an annual rate of $15% billion
in the first quarter, were down one-fourth from year-end and
nearly one-third from last summer. Corporate income tax
accruals showed a similar movement.
These developments have had marked effect on the finances
of Federal and State governments as well as of corporate
business. For corporations, maintenance of dividends close
to 1957 levels has involved cutting back earnings retention to
the low annual rate of around $3 billion. For the Government, the curtailment of profits tax revenues has been a
major element in the shift to a deficit position.
In terms of industrial composition, the decline in corporate
earnings since last summer has conformed to the broad
pattern of shifts in output. Eeflecting the substantially
lower level of motor vehicle production which has prevailed
since late 1957, auto makers' earnings softened in the fourth
quarter and dropped sharply in the first. With the contraction in business outlays for durable equipment, profits in the
machinery industries have fallen. The reduced demand on
the part of auto and machinery manufacturers, in turn, has
reacted upon profits in steel and other primary metals.
Declines occurred in rubber and certain other groups
which supply the auto and metalworking industries.
A
variety of special situations also contributed to the reduction
in manufacturers' profits.
Although more than two-thirds of the total drop in seasonally adjusted corporate earnings from the third quarter of
1957 to the first quarter of 1958 was in manufacturing, contraction was widespread among other industry divisions as
well. In transportation, the characteristically sensitive railroad industry has borne the brunt of the recession. In
mining, the profits decline has been marked in the nonferrous
metals component, and the available data suggest some contraction in other branches as well. In retail trade, the
reductions have centered in autos and general merchandise.

IEW and revised estimates of United States national income and product are presented
here for the postwar period. This report is an interim one, furnishing key annual, quarterly, and monthly statistics pending the availability of detailed information in a comprehensive bulletin now in preparation.
The tables which follow are intended for use in conjunction with the 1954 National Income supplement. The annual series included are shown for convenience back to 1929.
Quarterly national income and product and monthly personal income are given on a revised
basis for the entire period from 1946 to 1957. Extensions of these less-than-annual measures
into 1958 may be found on page S-l of this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
The revisions of the national income and product estimates stemmed from a major statistical review occasioned principally by the availability of tabulations from the 1954 Census
of Manufactures and Census of Business. These sources have been utilized to prepare new
benchmarks for consumer commodities and producers' durable equipment, and they also
yielded requisite basic data for numerous individual series of consumer expenditures for
services.
At the same time, the opportunity was taken to incorporate numerous other data sources
which had become available since the last major revision 4 years ago, and to carry through
desired improvements in estimating techniques. All of the many income and product components were carefully reexamined, and alterations were made wherever there was felt to be
an appreciable need.
As a result of this reworking of the statistical series, the estimated current levels of
ross national product, national income, and personal income have been raised moderately,
or example, the new estimate of GNP for 1957, $440 billion, exceeds the previous figure
by about $6 billion, or somewhat more than 1 percent. This increase in level, it should be
noted, dates largely from 1955, with the revisions serving to accentuate the picture of strong
economic recovery already shown for that year. The 1955-57 expansion in GNP, as well
as in the income flow, recorded by the revised figures is closely similar to that previously
measured.
The new national income bulletin, in presenting the complete set of revised data for
the postwar period, will feature a reorganization and expansion of the statistical tables in
which the estimates have been presented for more than a decade. The text of the volume
will consist of an analysis of the American economy as viewed through the national income
accounts, a discussion of the development of the accounts over the past quarter century and
of the needed directions of future research, and a review and evaluation of the statistical
basis of the estimates.
The forthcoming document, a special supplement to the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS,
marks a third major advance in the official national income work during the postwar period.
It follows the basic recasting and expansion of the estimates in 1947 and the provision of
full explanations of concepts and methods in 1951 (with an updating in 1954).
The new report will not replace the 1954 National Income supplement. The latter will
remain the basic reference source for descriptions of the technical bases of the income and
product estimates, as well as for numerous statistical tables for the period 1929-45.
Notice of the publication date and price of the bulletin will appear in the SURVEY.

BUSINESS STATISTICS
JL HE STATISTICS here are a continuation of the data published in the 1957 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, biennial Statistical Supplement
to the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (price $2) contains monthly (or quarterly) data for the years 1953 through 1956 and
monthly averages for all years back to 1929 insofar as available; it also provides a description of each series and references to sources of monthly
figures prior to 1953. Series added or significantly revised since publication of the 1957 BUSINESS STATISTICS are indicated by an asterisk (*) and a
dagger (f), respectively; certain revisions for 1956 issued too late for inclusion in the aforementioned volume appear in the monthly SURVEY
beginning with the July 1957 issue. 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 1957 are provided in the May 1958 issue of the SURVEY]
Unless otherwise stated, statistics through 1956 and
descriptive notes are shown in the 1957 edition of

©Estimates beginning January 1957 reflect certain changes in definitions for employment and unemployment. For 1957 estimates based on the old definitions and comparable with figures
prior to 1957, see note in the December 1957 SURVEY and earlier issues.
* New series. Monthly rates, back to January 1947, are available upon request.
cf Data beginning January 1958 for employment, hours, and earnings have been adjusted to the 1st quarter 1957 benchmark and are not directly comparable with previously published
figures back to April 1956; revised data for earlier months and for separate industries will be published in the August 1958 SURVEY. The data have been adjusted beginning April 1950
for all series except total nonagricultural, service and miscellaneous, and government employment (beginning January 1956) and anthracitr mining hours and earnings (beginning January 1953).

9 Data for semimanufactures reported as "special category, type 1" are included with finished manufactures.
©Includes data not shown separately.
§Excludes "special category, type 1" exports.
cf Beginning January 1958, figures reflect changes in presentation of data now estimated from a
1-percent sample and inclusion of fully compiled data on $100-$250 formal entries (previously based on a 5-percent sample). Comparability with earlier periods is not importantly affected,
except for a few individual commodities.

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 1958 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."
