By the Office of Business Economics
ASIC demand forces were sustained
through the spring quarter leading to a
new high in business activity for the
period and for the first half of the year.
As the pressures associated with inventory replenishment lessened in recent
months, production has been in closer
alignment with final demand which, as
indicated in the chart, has moved
steadily ahead since the start of the
year.
All broad segments participated in
the second quarter advance in final
demand.
Further increases in nondurables and services featured the rise
in consumer purchasing. Fixed investment was up from the first quarter rate,
as producers added to their stock of
productive facilities. A sizable advance in foreign business lifted the net
exports rate somewhat. Total government purchases advanced again primarily due to a further step-up in State
and local expenditures on construction
and for services. However, within
some of these broad sectors of final
demand, particular items or groups
have been affected in the past several
months by somewhat divergent forces.
Total employment at record

While employment continues at high
rates, there has been virtually no change
in the total number of no n farm employees since the early part of the year,
after adjusting for seasonal developments. Cutbacks have been made in
the number on durable goods manufacturing payrolls but these have been
offset by small but widespread gains
elsewhere.
At 53/9 million, workers employed in
nonagricultural establishments in June
were 600,000 above a year ago. Manufacturing and mining employment was
slightly below last year's total. Employment by State and local govern


ments was 300,000 or 5 percent ahead
of last year; in trade, services, and
finance, the combined year-to-year increase was 400,000, or 2 percent;
elsewhere—in the transportation, utility
grouping, and construction—the number on payrolls was at the year-before
level.

than the gain in income in April and
May.
For the first 6 months of 1960, personal income was at an annual rate of
$400 billion, up 5/2 percent from the
corresponding period of last year. Increases in wage and salary payments
accounted for three-fourths of this rise.

Profits Up in First Quarter
THE INITIAL quarter with its upward move in corporate sales brought
a substantial rise in corporate profits.
Besides the large increase in earnings
of durable goods manufacturers shown
in the adjacent chart, there were lesser
gains in mining and transportation,
and a marked advance in the chemical
industry.
The adjoining table shows total
corporate profits before and after taxes
for recent quarters and years. These
are new figures, based on annual estimates made as part of the national income accounts for 1959 which are
presented in complete form in a following section. They incorporate data
recently made available from income

tax tabulations and other sources.
Corporate profits, before income
taxes, amounted to $47 billion in
1959, a rise of about $9 billion over
the cyclically lowered total of 1958,
and about $2 billion over the most
recent cyclical high, which was reached
in 1955-56.
As a share of national income, profits
through the first quarter of this year
had not regained the relative position
they held at their peak 4 years earlier.
With the abnormal operating conditions of the latter part of 1959 corrected, in some cases profit ratios as
well as sales volume improved as 1960
opened. More common in the recent
period, however, has been a tendency

for rising costs and competitive pressures to result in narrower margins.
This recent experience is, of course,
partly cyclical in character. Profit
ratios generally taper as a business
upswing matures.
In addition,
throughout the past decade there has
been a mild but persistent downward
tendency in total corporate profits as
related to sales, to national income,
and to total income and gross product
of corporations. This has not been
pronounced enough to offset cyclical
advances, but emerges from a comparison of successive cyclical peaks or
troughs.
As noted on several occasions in the
SURVEY, this trend owes a good deal to
the more rapid writeoff of fixed capital
investment nowadays than formerly,
but allowing for this factor by measuring profits gross of depreciation, the
underlying tendency is still apparent.

National Income
and Product in 1959
I HIS number of the SURVEY feattires the national income and product
statistics for 1959, together with improved estimates for 1957 and 1958.
Highlights of 1959 are reflected in the
summaries on pages 8—12. National
income was near $400 billion for the
year, and GNP reached $482 billion.
Both were higher by a small margin
than the preliminary data available last
February had indicated, as was personal
income at $388 billion.
Conspicuous throughout the tables is
the influence of the cyclical upswing in
activity, which carried the Nation's
economy from the recession lows of 1958
to record highs last year. The increase
in national product amounted to $38
billion or 9 percent in value, and was
almost as large in real terms, prices
having advanced only moderately.
Gains in national income were of
co111parable magnitude.

featured widespread increases in activity. National income was up in the
great majority of nonfarm industries—
though a decline in agriculture resulted
from farm price weakness and rising
production costs. Outside of farming,
increases occurred in every major type
of earnings—employee compensation,
corporate profits, net income of business
and professional proprietors, and interest and rental income. Compensation of employees, up 8 percent for the
year, accounted for $21 billion or twothirds of the overall rise of $32 billion
in national income. In relative terms,
the most pronounced improvement
shown for any income share was the 25
percent rebound of corporate profits,
which had been off sharply in 1958 due
to the recession.

eign trade and payments affecting the
U.S. economy, saving and investment
activities, and the experience of each of
the many industry groups which contribute to the national output. Perspective is lent by the inclusion of
comparable estimates for 1956-58, and
for the important aggregates the annual
totals are re-published back to 1947.
Most of these materials are presented
here through 1959 for the first time;
and measures published earlier have
been strengthened statistically by incorporating data from 1957 and 1958
income tax returns and certain other
basic materials which have recently
been tabulated for those years, as well
as payroll data reported under the
State Unemployment Insurance Programs and a variety of other annual
statistics now at hand for 1959. Revised estimates of residential construction activity, scheduled to be issued
this summer, have not been incorporated.
Arrangement of tables

The grouping of the tables in the
present report corresponds closely to
that followed in U.S. Income and
Output, except t h a t the most widely
used annual and quarterly summaries
are presented first. References to the
tables in U.S. Income and Output
appear in parentheses following the
table titles; and on the back cover is a
list of the U.S. Income arid Output
tables showing the pages on which they
are carried forward in the present
report.
Also on the back cover of this issue) is
information on how to order U.S.
Income and Output and. its companion
volumes, which together with this
issue of the SURVEY contain the full set
of national income and product statistics, interpretative comment, and methodological notes.

BUSINESS STATISTICS

Wlontki

JL HE STATISTICS here are a continuation of the data published in the 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, biennial Statistical Supplement
to the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (price $2.25) contains monthly (or quarterly) data for the years 1955 through 1958 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 1955. Series added or significantly revised since publication of the 1959 BUSINESS STATISTICS are indicated by an asterisk (*) and a
dagger (f), respectively; certain revisions for 1958 issued too late for inclusion in the aforementioned volume appear in the monthly SURVEY
beginning with the July 1959 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.
Unless otherwise stated, statistics through 1958 and
descriptive notes are shown in the 1959 edition of

d* Includes Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

loans to banks (domestic commercial banks only, beginning July 1959) and deduction of valuation reserves (individual loan items are gross, i.e., before deduction of valuation reserves).
§For bond yields, see p. S-20.
^Data are as of end of consecutive 4-week periods ending in month indicated, except June figure which is as of June 30 (end of fiscal year).

§ Includes nonmarketable catalyst coke.
! Revisions for 1958 will be shown later as follows: Oil wells completed (August and September); domestic d e m a n d - j e t fuel (February-September); lubricants (January-August); for
all other indicated items (January-September).
d* Data for Alaska and Hawaii are included as part of domestic supply and demand beginning with January 1959 and January 1960, respectively; appropriate amounts for these States
are reflected in
data for all series affected. Data beginning 1960 for jet fuel a nd kerosene are not comparable w i i l i earlier data because jet fuel for use in commercial aircraft is now classified
with kerosene 1 ; formerly, this product was reported primarily as "jet."
