the BUSINESS SITUATION
J.HE revisions of the national income
and product accounts (NIPA's) that
are usually made each July are shown
later in this issue. They cover the period
beginning with the first quarter of 1973,
and incorporate source data that were
not at hand when the comprehensive
benchmark revision of the NIPA's was
completed last January. The preliminary estimates for the second quarter
of 1976 that are reviewed later in the
Business Situation are on the revised
basis.

services. An upward revision of $3.7
billion in the former was due to new
information on consumer truck purchases and used autos, and was largely
offset by a downward revision in
producers' durable equipment. Services

was revised $6.4 billion; $1.4 billion
was in housing, and most of the
remainder in the "other" category.
In the "other" category, a large part
of the upward revision was in medical
services, imputed interest, and recrea-

Significant revisions this July are
confined to a few components of the
income and product flow. The aggregates are affected only moderately, and
the picture of the recent recession and
subsequent recovery is not greatly
changed (chart 1). The significant
revisions are discussed below.

Gross national product

GNP was revised upward $17.4
billion, or 1.2 percent, in 1975 (table 1).
The revision in 1974, also upward, was
much smaller, and in 1973 it was negligible.
The major 1975 revisions were in
personal consumption expenditures
(PCE), $9.4 billion; State and local
government purchases, $6.5 billion;
and residential investment, $2.4 billion.
The last of these was due largely to new
information on additions and alterations, and transactions in existing
residences. The 1975 revision in State
and local government purchases, and a
smaller one in 1974, was in payrolls
and in purchases from business other
than of structures.
The 1975 revision in PCE was in
motor vehicles and parts, and in

was a revision in the constant-dollar
change in business inventories that had

no counterpart in the current-dollar

estimates. It was largely due to the use
of a more detailed procedure for converting inventories into real terms. In
1974, constant-dollar PCE was revised
downward, in contrast to the upward
revision in the current-dollar estimate,
as upward revisions in prices—largely

in "other" services—more than offset
revisions in current dollars.
The revisions did not significantly
affect the picture of the last business
cycle. Small differences can be noted,
although they are within the margin of
error of the estimates. The decline in
real GNP is about the same in the new
as in the old estimates: The reduction in
inventory investment appears to have
been a shade larger, but final sales
held up a little better. The subsequent
recovery was also about the same: The
increase in PCE wae a little stronger,
but nonresidential fixed investment was
a little weaker.
Charges against GNP
Charges against GNP—the costs
incurred and profits earned in the production of GNP—is shown in table 2.
There were more large revisions in the
charges components than in the GNP
components.
Compensation of employees was
raised $7.3 billion in 1975. A revision in
wages and salaries accounted for $5.0
billion of this total, and reflected mainly
earnings in employment covered by
State unemployment insurance systems.
Revisions were made also in earnings
in noncovered employment, including
State and local government payrolls.
The revisions relating to noncovered
employment also affected the estimates
for 1974. A $2.3 billion revision in supplements to wages and salaries in 1975
was in employer contributions for social

insurance and to private health insurance funds. Revisions in employer contributions to the latter funds also raised
the estimates for 1974 and 1973.
Proprietors' income with inventory
valuation and capital consumption adjustments was raised $6.8 billion in
1975. Most of the revision was in the
nonfarm component, particularly in
trade and mining. A similar industrial
pattern underlay a much smaller revision of proprietors' income in 1974.
The corporate profits component of
national income was revised downward
$8.7 billion in 1975. Corporate profits
in this context are measured before tax
and after adjustments to handle consistently the service lives and depreciation formulas for fixed capital used up
up in production, and to value both
fixed capital and inventories used up at
replacement cost. As shown in table 3,
$2.2 billion of the revision was in unadjusted before-tax profits. Before-tax
profits of financial corporations was reduced $3.3 billion. There were large
upward revisions in the unadjusted
before-tax profits of petroleum refiners
and metal producers; profits in all other
manufacturing industries were reduced.
The industrial pattern of the 1974 revisions was similar. The remainder of the
revision was mainly in the capital consumption adjustment, and was due in
large part to "startup" problems in estimating this item, which was first introduced as a part of the recent benchmark
revision.




Profits tax liability was revised
upward $3.7 billion in 1975. This
revision reflected the use of company
reports on provisions for taxes. In the
previously published estimates, the
effective tax rate for 1974 had been
used to estimate 1975 tax liability.
This procedure has many limitations—
most important, it cannot take into
account changes in corporate deficits.
Reflecting the several revisions mentioned, after tax profits with inventory
valuation and capital consumption adjustments was reduced $12.3 billion
in 1975, and $6.3 billion in 1974.
With only minor revisions in dividends,
undistributed profits with inventory
valuation and capital consumption adjustments was reduced by similar
amounts. In the light of these revisions,
the recent course of before- and aftertax and undistributed profits is seen
to have been even less favorable than
appeared in the previous estimates.
Net interest was revised downward
$7.0 billion in 1975, and by large
amounts also in 1974 and 1973 (table
2). When all of the source data are
available, this item is estimated by
calculating interest paid less interest
received, both monetary and imputed,
in considerable legal form detail. In
the past, much of the requisite information became available only with a lag
of 3 years; in the meantime, preliminary
procedures were used that are unreliable
if the structures of interest rates and
debt change rapidly, as they did in

the 1973-75 period. Substantial progress
has been made in obtaining the source
data more quickly, and work is underway to increase the reliability of the
preliminary procedures.
Capital consumption allowances with
capital consumption adjustment was
revised upward $9.4 billion in 1975
and by smaller amounts in 1973 and
1974. About half of this revision W.LS
explained in connection with the corporate capital consumption adjustment.
The remainder was largely due to new
information on tax-return based capital
consumption for 1974 and its extrapolation into 1975.
The net revision in charges against
GNP differed from the net revision in
GNP, and accordingly, the statistical
discrepancy changed. In each year
affected by the July revisions, it now
shows an excess of GNP estimated
from the product side over GNP
estimated from the charges side.
Personal and government
transactions

Many of the revisions discussed so
far carry through into personal income
and outlay (table 4 and chart 2). As
a result, there was a downward revision in the personal saving rate from
8.3 to 7.8 percent in 1975. Annual

downward revisions were smaller in
the earlier years, although some of the
quarterly revisions were large.
Another revision with interesting
implications is the increased State and
local government deficit. Largely reflecting the upward revision in State
and local purchases, the surplus was
reduced $2.9 billion in 1975 (table 5).
The surplus of social insurance funds
was revised upward $0.9 billion, and
the downward revision in the surplus
of regular operating funds was $3.9
billion. This was not much different
from the revision in the Federal deficit
also shown in the table, but taking
into account the relative size of the
two balances, the change in the picture
of the fiscal position of State and local
government that emerges is much more
significant.
Second-Quarter Developments
The increase in real GNP in the
second quarter was about half that in
the first—4% percent at an annual rate
as compared with 9 percent. The deceleration was traceable to inventories.
Inventory investment in the second
quarter was at about the same rate as
in the first, and so did not contribute
to the increase in real GNP. In contrast, there had been a large swing in
inventory investment from liquidation
in the fourth quarter to accumulation
in the first; this swing was the principal
factor in the unusually large firstquarter increase in GNP (table 6 and
chart 3).
Final sales increased at about the
same rate as GNP and one percentage
point more than they had increased in




the first quarter. PCE increased much
less in the second quarter than in the
first—about 4 percent at an annual rate
as compared with 9 percent. A substantial deceleration was to be expected,
mainly because of the unsustainability
of the large first-quarter increase in
PCE for autos. The major offset to the
deceleration of PCE was in net exports.
Government purchases was a secondary
factor offsetting PCE. These purchases
increased a little in the second quarter
after a comparable drop in the first.
After slowing from a 7 percent annual
rate in the second half of 1975 to 3
percent in the first quarter, inflation as
measured by the GNP implicit price
deflator increased to 4% percent in the
second quarter. A decrease in consumer
prices for food and energy had been
the major factor in the abnormally low
first-quarter rate. Month-to-month increases in these prices began in the
second quarter, and on a quarterly basis
more than accounted for the step-up in
overall inflation.
Employment and unemployment.—Employment increased somewhat less in the
second quarter than in the first; this

July 1976

holds for both the household and establishment surveys. On a monthly
basis, more deceleration is visible.
According to the household survey,
the May increase in employment was
less than the April increase, and employment in June was down. A similar
pattern appears in the establishment
survey if allowance is made for strikes.
This year's pronounced decline in the
unemployment rate was interrupted in
June. In that month, the seasonally
adjusted rate increased from 7.3 to
7.5 percent. This increase has been
attributed by some faulty seasonal
adjustment factors. It is difficult to
accept this view, because all of the unemployment rates calculated by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics that are
based on the alternative seasonal adjustment procedures that have most
frequently been advocated show an
increase from May to June. However,
it is difficult to separate seasonal from
cyclical variations, and the large cyclical
variations that occurred in recent years
have aggravated the problem. In these
circumstances, it is quite possible that
no seasonal adjustment procedure has
been fully successful.
Output-hours-compensation relationships.—Recent changes in output per
hour, compensation per hour, and unit
labor cost are shown in table 7. The
table differs in two ways from earlier
presentations of this material. First,
gross product originating in housing
has been excluded so that the new table
covers the business economy other than
farm and housing. The reason for excluding gross product originating in
housing is that labor services do not
contribute significantly to it. Second,
a change was made in the treatment of

the ' 'residua?'—the constant-dollar
counterpart of the statistical discrepancy—in deriving the estimate of
output. Hitherto, nonfarm business
output was derived by deducting from
GNP the output originating in the rest
of the world, in households and institutions, in government, and in farming.
In other words, the residual was considered to be a part of nonfarm business
output. According to the new procedure,
the residual is deducted as well. The
new procedure is preferable, because
the previous procedure implied incorrectly that the residual arises in the
estimation of nonfarm business output;
actually a part of the residual may arise
in the estimation of farm output. More
generally, calculation of nonfarm business output from the income side—
that is, excluding the residual—is
preferable, because compensation is a
large part of output calculated from the
income side. Therefore, a measure of
total output calculated from the income
side is likely to be more consistent with
compensation and the associated hours

measures than is a a measure of output
that is calculated from the product side.
The new procedure introduces a
difficulty into the estimation of the
current quarter—in the present review,
the second quarter of 1976. Estimates
of corporate profits are not available
for that quarter at the time the preliminary estimates are made, and
consequently the residual is not known.
To fill this gap, the previous quarter's
residual will be held constant in
calculating the preliminary estimates
of nonfarm business output for inclusion in this table and in table 15.
The most interesting feature shown
by the table is that the increase in
output per hour—5 percent at an annual
rate—was only a little less than in the
first quarter. Real output in business
other than farm and housing was up
about 5% percent, as compared with
10% percent in the first quarter.
Given this deceleration, the strong
performance of productivity is traceable
to the fact that aggregate hours worked
in this segment of business were up
only minimally. Compensation per hour
continued to increase at more than 9
percent. Unit labor cost in the second
quarter increased about 4% percent
as compared with 3 percent in the
first quarter.

beef prices declined, mainly because
unfavorable cost-price relationships led
to increased slaughter. The prospect for
beef prices is uncertain.
This year's grain crops appear better
than they had earlier in the year.
However, as a result of unfavorable
weather conditions abroad, foreign demand is also likely to be higher than
expected earlier. The Department of
Agriculture has not changed its forecast
of the year-to-year increase in food
prices. This suggests that, on balance,
the changes in the supply and demand
for grain will not greatly affect the
increases in food prices implied for the
rest of the year.
The outlook for energy prices has
been affected by the freeze on domestic
crude oil prices recently imposed by the
Federal Energy Administration. It appears that this freeze was imposed
because an unexpected production mix
of low priced "old" oil and high priced
"new" oil had resulted in a higher than
planned average oil price in February
and March. Ceiling prices of old and
new oil have been frozen at their June
levels, and the freeze is expected to
continue for several months. Consequently, gasoline prices and oil prices
paid by final users, which have been
increasing in recent months, are likely
to be more stable in the short run. The
longer run outlook for prices of oil
products has become more uncertain
because of several factors, including the
upcoming routine review of oil price
ceilings in the light of changes in the
actual and prospective rate of overall
inflation, and the possibility of changes
in the basic decontrol legislation.

to analyze consumer behavior, some
have focused on retail sales in June,
and have concluded that PCE has
resumed its vigorous growth. Although
it is quite reasonable to project a
resumption of such growth, it should
be noted that it is not yet visible in the
information now available. What is
suggested by this information is that
consumer spending has moved up
toward its peak in April without,
however, reaching it.
Autos.—Table 10 shows auto output,
a large part of which is sold to consumers. Several observations are suggested. (1) Eeal final sales of new
autos increased more than unit sales,

because of a shift toward relatively
high priced models. (2) the CBI of
autos was small recently, indicating
that production was matched by sales.
The inventory-sales ratio for new cars
had declined from the fourth quarter
to the first as sales increased sharply
and tended to stabilize thereafter along
with sales. At 2.1, it corresponds to
about 2 months' supply, which is
generally considered normal. However,
the composition of the stock is not
balanced. It appears that there are
excess stocks of small models and
inadequate stocks of many of the
faster-selling large models. (3) Used
auto sales did less well than new auto
sales in both the first and second
quarters.
The table shows that net consumer
purchases of used autos is larger than
net business sales. The difference is
accounted for by dealers' margins,
which are paid by consumers. This
helps explain a puzzling feature of the
implicit price deflators shown in the
third panel of the table—the deflator
for PCE for autos increases from the
first quarter to the second, whereas
the corresponding deflator for producers' durable equipment (PDE) decreases over the same period. This
divergent movement is traceable in
part to unit margins, which increased
over the period shown in the table
because increases in unit margins are
counted as price increases. Another
part of the explanation is that in
calculating PDE for autos, sales of
used autos are deducted; accordingly,

a price increase for used autos contributed to the reduction of the deflator
for new and used autos combined.
Personal income increased about $30
billion at an annual rate in the second
quarter, only a little less than in the
first. Wage and salary disbursements
increased substantially less, $19 billion
as compared with $25 billion. The $6
billion deceleration was spread across
all major industry groups except
government and government enterprises—the commodity-producing, distributive, and service industries each
contributed about $2 billion. Within
the second quarter, deceleration became
apparent in the commodity-producing
and distributive industries in May. In
June, payrolls in the distributive industries declined and were about flat
in the commodity-producing and service
industries. The monthly pattern was
partly due to strikes, but a general
decline in average hours worked was
also important, especially in June.
Farm proprietors' income did better
in the second quarter than in the first.
Eeflecting the course of farm prices,
farm proprietors' income had dropped
$6% billion at an annual rate in the
first quarter, but increased $5% billion
in the second. Transfer payments were
the third category of personal income
that showed a significant change in
pace. They declined about $1 billion in
the second quarter after an increase of
$6 billion in the first. First-quarter
transfer payments had been inflated by
the speed-up of veterans life insurance
dividends and by payments under the

earned income credit provisions of the
Tax Reduction Act of 1975. In the
second quarter, they were reduced as
unemployment insurance benefit payments dropped.
Personal taxes increased more in the
second quarter than in the first.
First-quarter payments had been held
down by the earned income and housing
credits, which reduced net final settlements. Disposable personal income
increased $24 billion, at an annual
rate, somewhat less than in the first
quarter. With an increase in personal
outlays of about $21% billion, personal saving was up. The saving rate
showed little change.
Investment
Real nonresidential fixed investment
continued to increase in the second
quarter, 7% percent at an annual rate
after 8 percent in the first (table 11).
The increase in PDE was less concentrated in motor vehicles than it had
been in the first quarter, and the
recovery in investment in structures
continued to progress. The information
for the second quarter is quite incomplete. June Census data on shipments of machinery and equipment and
on construction are lacking, and the
information from the BEA plant and
equipment survey, which is also used
in preparing the estimates, refers to
plans rather than realizations. A substantial judgmental adjustment for a
probable shortfall of realizations from
plans was made.
Future-oriented information seems
to indicate the continuation of moderate recovery this year. This information
includes the recent plant and equipment survey, which was reviewed in
the last issue of the SURVEY, the
Conference Board capital appropriations series, and data on contracts and
orders. April and May data on new
orders for nondefense capital goods
indicate some improvement. On the
other hand, the constant-dollar series
on contracts and orders for plant and
equipment has remained stationary.
Residential investment.—Real residential investment continued to increase in
the second quarter, but at* a slower
pace—about 16 percent at an annual
rate—than in earlier quarters of its

215-400 O - 76 - 2




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
recovery. As can be seen from chart 5,
the upward movement of single-family
housing starts has been much less pronounced recently, if allowance for erratic
movements in these starts is made. The
increase in multifamily starts has been
quite limited, and there is no firm evidence that the difficulties that have
hampered their recovery have been resolved. Mobile home shipments, which
are also included in the chart, have
shown some increase from their lows
last spring, but no clear uptrend has
been established.
Inventories.—Information that is still
incomplete suggests that real inventory
investment was at about the same
rate in the second quarter as in the
first (see table 6). Even allowing for
a sizable revision in these estimates, it
is certain that the contribution of
inventory investment to the change in
real GNP was much less in the second
quarter than in the first, when inventory

investment had accounted for threefifths of the increase in real GNP.
The industrial composition of inventory investment seems to have been
different in the two quarters. Farm
inventories were liquidated in the
second quarter, after accumulation in
the first. In manufacturing as a whole,
inventories were accumulated at a
substantial rate in the second quarter;
there had been little change in these
inventories in the first quarter. The
shift was in durables manufacturing,
where a pervasive pattern of substantial
liquidation in the first quarter was
followed by smaller liquidation or
accumulation in the second. In nondurables manufacturing, there was accumulation in both quarters. In wholesale trade, durable and nondurable
inventories followed a pattern roughly
similar to that of durable and nondurable inventories in manufacturing.

sales in the sense that business did not
seek to change the ratio.
The inventory-sales ratio calculated
for table 12 uses total business final
sales as the denominator instead of
nonfarm business final sales, which had
been used in previous quarterly analyses
of the NIPA's published in the SURVEY.
Nonfarm business final sales had been
derived by subtracting the change in
nonfarm business inventories from nonfarm business gross product. A reexamination of this procedure led to
the conclusion that it understated nonfarm business final sales roughly by
the amount of farm sales to nonfarm
business. A proper metholodogy has
not been worked out. Instead, total
business final sales were substituted
for the denominator previously used,
because the error involved in this procedure is much smaller than the error
in the previous one. The cyclical
behavior of the new ratio is quite similar
to that of the ratio used in the past.

NOTE.—Based on end-of-quarter inventories, seasonally
adjusted, and final sales seasonally adjusted at annual rates.

The contrasting pattern of the durable
and nondurable inventory totals may
have been the result of the greater
imbalance of durable than of nondurable inventories that developed prior
to and during the recent recession.
In retail trade other than autos,
inventory accumulation in the second
quarter was much less than in the first.
Some of the accumulation in the first
quarter may have been involuntary,
reflecting the standstill noted above in
PCE for goods other than autos, food,
and energy products. Inventories of
auto retailers were liquidated in the
first quarter, and they showed little
change in the second.
As can be seen from table 12, the
ratio of constant-dollar nonfarm inventory stocks to final sales of business
has changed little since the fourth quarter of 1975, after having declined
rapidly from the cyclical peak it had
reached a year earlier. At 0.238, the
second-quarter ratio is similar to ratios
that prevailed in prior periods when
inventories were in balance relative to




Real net exports were down a little
from the first quarter (table 13). The
merchandise balance improved moderately, as the combined increase in
agricultural and nonagricultural exports
was a little larger than the increase in
imports. This improvement was more
than offset by erratic changes in service
transactions. The effect of all these
changes on GNP and domestic economic activity was minor.
Changes in foreign transactions in the
first quarter had been much larger than
those in the second. In the first quarter,
a large, broadly based increase in mer-

July 1976

chandise imports had resulted in a
sharp reduction in net exports. Arithmetically, this drop in net exports reduced GNP. However, the causal
connections between the increase in
imports and GNP are much more
complex. In a general way, the firstquarter increase in imports is better
regardeded as limiting the increase in
GNP that would have occurred if U.S.
demand had, in its entirety, generated
domestic production, instead of being
partly met by foreign supplies.
Government purchases
Real Federal and State and local
government purchases both increased
moderately in the second quarter after
declines of similar magnitude in the
first (table 14). These changes tended
to even out the changes in GNP, but
were not major factors. The impression
of government's neutral stance is not altered when government transactions
other than purchases are taken into
account. This neutrality will be confirmed by the small size of the changes
in the Federal and the State and local
government deficits that will become
evident when the information on corporate profits taxes, which is necessary
to calculate these deficits, becomes
available.
The shift in the beginning of the
Federal fiscal year from July 1 to
October 1 is resulting in irregularities
in Federal expenditures. Most of these
irregularities have no important influence on economic activity, but they
give rise to problems of timing and
seasonal adjustment in the estimation
of the NIPA's. For instance, in the

past, product originating in households
and institutions, in the rest of the
world, and in government is deducted
from GNP to derive business product.
Next, farm product is deducted as
before. The deduction of housing product is a new feature of the table, and
parallels the handling of housing product in table 7, as does the handling of
the residual. A new aggregate—business
product other than farm and housing—
results from these deductions. Next,
two types of output—autos and residences—are distinguished, because they
show large fluctuations and are important in short-term economic analysis. The remaining "other" product
category is broken down into sales and
inventory change. Further detail within
this category cannot be presented, because duplication stemming from intrabusiness transactions in intermediate

past, expenditures in the quarter beginning in April showed seasonal increases,
which were removed by seasonal adjustment in estimating the NIPA's. The
transition to the new budget year is
apparently resulting in a shift of expenditures into the quarter beginning
in July. These shifts are often of a
financial nature, and adjustments must
be made for them in an accounting for
government transactions that is useful
for economic analysis. Formal procedures for doing so are not available,
and as a result uncertainty is introduced
into the estimates, and their interpretation is made more difficult.
GNP by sector
The presentation of GNP by sector
that has appeared regularly in the
quarterly analyses of the NIPA's has
been modified (see table 15). As in the

products would become so large that
the detail would not be useful in
economic analysis.
This table brings out some interesting
features of recent economic developments. It shows, for instance, that the
behavior of sales of "other" business
products differs from that of total final
sales, which is shown in table 6.
In the first quarter of 1976, "other"
business sales was stationary in contrast to total final sales, which increased
at an annual rate of 3% percent.
This difference is explained by the
heavy concentration of the first-quarter
increase in final demand in autos; on
balance, demand for other goods and
services was relatively weak. In the
second quarter, when the demand for
autos moderated, the increase in sales of
"other" products corresponded more
closely to the increase in total final sales.
Employment Change by
Industry
After a decline of 2,300,000 from the
third quarter of 1974 to the second
quarter of 1975, nonagricultural employment (as measured by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics payroll survey) has
increased more than 2,500,000, to
79,000,000, from the second quarter of
1975 to the second quarter of 1976.
Although total employment in the
second quarter of 1976 stands at a
higher level than before the recent
contraction, private employment, at
63,900,000, is 625,000 lower. The offsetting higher level of government
employment reflects increases of about
475,000 during the contraction and
about 375,000 during the recovery.
These increases have been entirely at
the State and local level; Federal employment has remained unchanged.
Employment in contract construction, which decreased about 500,000
during the contraction, has remained
steady since then. Employment in
wholesale and retail trade has increased
about 575,000 during the past year,
after a decrease of 275,000 during the
contraction. Services continued to grow
during both the contraction (when
employment increased 175,000) and
the recovery (650,000).

12

(16.5 percent), furniture and fixtures
(15.8 percent), and electrical equipment
(14.7 percent). As of the second quarter
of, 1976, these three industries have
regained about 175,000 of the 500,000
jobs lost during the contraction; this
recovery would appear somewhat
stronger but for a strike that idled
60,000 rubber workers in May and
June.
Each of the industries listed in
table 16 is, of course, composed of a
number of smaller industries, and the
components do not all contract or
expand at the same rate. Thus, the
employment increase of about 100,000
in transportation equipment since the
second quarter of 1975 is attributable
entirely to motor vehicles and equipment, a component that accounts for
only about one-half of the total employment in transportation equipment.
Perspective on recent employment
changes by industry is provided by a
comparison with those that occurred
during the 1957-58 contraction and the
subsequent recovery. The absolute declines were similar—about 2,200,000
from the second quarter of 1957 to the
second quarter of 1958, compared with
2,300,000 in the recent contraction—as
were the subsequent absolute increases—

After a decrease of 2 million during
the contraction, manufacturing employment has increased about 800,000
during the past year. The recovery
has been stronger in nondurables,
in which about 60 percent of the
625,000 jobs lost during the contraction
have been regained, than in durables,
in which only about 30 percent of the
1,400,000 lost jobs have been regained.
Table 16 shows the employment
changes during the recent contraction
and current recovery in 21 manufacturing industries, listed in order of their
percent employment decrease during
the contraction. Thirteen of these
industries lost 10 percent or more of
their total employment during the
contraction. With a combined employment decrease of 1,650,000 during the
contraction, these 13 industries, which
provided only 16.6 percent of total
U.S. employment in the third quarter
of 1974, accounted for about 70 percent
of the total decline in employment.
During the recovery, these industries
have regained about 725,000 jobs, or
about 45 percent of those lost in the
contraction.
The largest percentage decreases in
employment during the contraction
were in rubber and plastics products




July 1976

2,600,000 from the second quarter of
1958 to the second quarter of 1959,
compared with 2,500,000 in the first
year of the current recovery. During
the 1957-58 contraction, the 13 highjob-loss manufacturing industries listed
in table 16 showed a combined employment decrease of about 1,275,000. This
decrease accounted for about 58 percent
of the total job loss during that contraction, a smaller proportion than
during the recent contraction. Recovery in these industries was more
rapid in 1958-59 than in the current
recovery, as about three-fourths of the
1,275,000 jobs were regained by the
second quarter of 1959.
One factor that mitigated the potential severity of the 1974-75 employment
contraction was the lower relative importance of the 13 high-job-loss manufacturing industries. These industries,
which accounted for 21.5 percent of
total employment in the second quarter
of 1957, accounted for only 16.6 percent
in the third quarter of 1974. Had these
industries retained their 1957 share of
total employment and contracted at
the rate they actually did in 1974-75,
the job loss in these industries would
have been 500,000 larger than it was.

BY FRANK W. SEGEL AND GARY L. RUTLEDGE

Capital Expenditures by Business for
Air, Water, and Solid Waste Pollution Abatement,
1975 and Planned 1976
B,

BUSINESS spent $6.5 billion in 1975
for new plant and equipment to abate
air and water pollution and to dispose of
solid waste, according to a survey conducted by BEA in November and
December of 1975.1 This is an increase

of 17 percent from $5.6 billion in 1974;
a further increase of 12 percent is expected for 1976. The $0.9 billion increase
in antipollution spending in 1975 accounted for almost 60 percent of the $1.6
billion increase in total new plant and

equipment (P. & E.) spending reported
in the same survey (table 1).
Five industries accounted for $4.6
billion, or 70 percent, of total pollution
abatement spending in 1975: electric
utilities ($1.7 billion), petroleum ($1.2

1. Agricultural business; real estate operators; medical,
legal, educational, and cultural services; and nonprofit
organizations are excluded from these estimates. Outlays
charged to current account are also excluded.
Plans have been adjusted for systematic bias on the basis of
experience from the BEA plant and equipment expenditures
survey.

The estimates have not been adjusted for price change. The
prices of capital goods, as measured by the implicit price
deflator for fixed nonresidential investment, rose almost 14
percent in 1975. If prices of pollution abatement goods
behaved similarly, then real business capital spending for
pollution abatement increased approximately 3 percent.

NOTE.—The projection of sample estimates
to universe totals was supervised by John T.
Woodward. Significant contributions to the
section on facility closings were made by
Betsy C. Dunlap.

by a 45 percent increase in the electric
utility industry; this unusually large
increase may not be realized. (3) The
air and water shares of pollution
abatement spending appear to be shifting. The water share was about 36
percent in both 1973 and 1974, increased to 38 percent in 1975, and is
44 percent of planned 1976 spending
(chart 7). This shift may be due to
1977 deadlines set by a number of
water pollution regulations. (4) Spending for changes-in-production-process
(CIPP) to abate pollution has remained
at roughly 1 percent of total P. & E.
spending over the 3-year period, while
end-of-line (EOL) spending has increased as a percent of that total.
EOL techniques are generally used to
bring existing facilities into compliance
with regulations.2 (table 3)

767-6

In 1975, as in 1974, companies on the
P. & E. survey panel were asked if they
had closed (or planned to close) a production facility because of pollution
regulations.3 The companies that

answered, yes—only about one-half of
1 percent of those responding—were
contacted by telephone and were asked
additional questions about the facilities
closed or planned for closing. A total of
64 closings (62 permanent, 2 temporary)
were reported for 1975; last year, participating companies reported 42
facilities closed in 1974 (table 4).
Although estimates of the national
totals of the facilities closed, the cost,
and the number of employees involved
would be very useful, the data will not
permit such estimates. The benchmark
for the P. & E. survey relates to
companies, and, because closings relate
to establishments and facilities within
establishments, cannot be used to raise
the sample to a universe total. The
sample of 62 permanent closings does
permit, however, an examination of
the characteristics of facilities closed
2. CIPP methods involve the modification of existing processes or the substitution of new production processes to
reduce or eliminate the pollutants generated or emitted. EOL
methods involve the separation, treatment, or reuse of pollutants after they are generated, but before they are emitted
from the firm's property.
3. The question was, "Has your company closed a facility
in 1975, or does it plan to close a facility in 1976 where pollution abatement requirements are a contributing factor in the
closing?"

International Travel and Passenger Fares: 1975'
u.

' .S. residents spent a record $10.1
billion on international travel in 1975,
compared with $9.4 billion in 1974.
Payments to foreigners, which are
included in the balance of payments,2
accounted for $8.8 billion of the total;
$6.4 billion was spent within foreign
countries and $2.4 billion was paid to
foreign sea and air carriers for transocean transportation. In addition, U.S.
air carriers received $1.3 billion in
transocean passenger fares from U.S.
travelers; these are not included in
the balance of payments.
Receipts from foreign visitors to the
United States3 were $5.7 billion, up
$0.8 billion from 1974. Spending within
the United States was $4.9 billion, 21
percent higher than in 1974. U.S.
transocean air carriers received $0.8
billion in passenger fares for transporta1. This review of developments in international travel
discusses total expenditures of U.S. residents traveling
abroad and expenditures of foreign residents in the United
States. It includes the travel accounts and part of the passenger fare accounts that appear in the U.S. balance of payments.
Not included are U.S. carriers' receipts for transporting
foreign residents between foreign points; these receipts do
not involve travel to and from the United States but they
are included in the passenger fare account in the balance of
payments (line 5 of table 1 of the quarterly balance of payments presentation). On the other hand, the discussion
includes passenger fares paid by U.S. travelers to U.S.
transocean carriers, which do not enter into the balance of
payments, but represent an important part of total expenditures by U.S. travelers (line B3, table 1).
2. Travel payments include expenditures in foreign countries by U.S. residents for food, lodging, entertainment,
transportation purchased abroad, and other expenses incidental to a foreign visit. Excluded are expenditures by U.S.
military and other Government personnel stationed abroad,
by their dependents, and by U.S. citizens residing abroad.
Payments to foreign transocean carriers and shipboard
expenditures are included in the passenger fares account.
Shore expenditures of cruise passengers are included in travel
payments.
3. Travel receipts include expenditures in the United
States, for services similar to those indicated for U.S. travelers in footnote 2, by foreign residents visiting for purposes of
business, pleasure, study, and also those in transit. Receipts
of U.S. transocean carriers from foreign visitors are included
in the passenger fares account.

18




tion of foreigners to and from the
United States.
Net travel and passenger fare payments declined $0.1 billion in 1975 to
$3.1 billion. Net travel payments were
down more than $0.4 billion, as foreign
spending here increased more than U.S.
spending abroad. The reduction in net
travel payments was partly offset by a
$0.3 billion increase in net passenger
fare payments, which resulted from
increased U.S. payments to foreign
carriers and reduced receipts from
foreigners of U.S. air carriers. In 1975,
foreign airlines carried about 45 percent
of U.S. oversea air travelers, compared
with 43 percent in 1974. In contrast,
U.S. airlines carried only 36 percent of
oversea visitors to the United States
who traveled by air, down from 40
percent.
U.S. air carriers continued to dominate the charter market, carrying over
80 percent of U.S. citizens traveling by
charter flights to oversea destinations.
Charter passengers comprised 20 percent of total U.S. travelers using U.S.
airlines. In contrast, U.S. charter passengers accounted for only 4 percent of
the total of U.S. travelers carried by
foreign airlines. Since charter passenger
rates are substantially lower than
scheduled carrier rates, average earnings per U.S. passenger were greater
for foreign air carriers than for U.S. air
carriers.
Worldwide inflation continued to
exert upward pressure on U.S. travel
expenditures last year. Strengthening of
the U.S. dollar against the currencies
of some popular tourist countries partly
offset this upward pressure, and may
have contributed to the marked rise in

travel in late 1975. Although U.S.
travel expenditures rose 7 percent in
current dollars, real travel expenditures
(in constant 1972 dollars, adjusted for
price changes abroad and changes in
the foreign currency value of the
dollar) were 4 percent less than in 1974
(chart 9).
Travel to Canada and Mexico
U.S. travel expenditures in Canada
and Mexico increased $0.1 billion last
year, to $2.9 billion (table 2). The two
countries accounted for 46 percent of
total travel expenditures in foreign
countries, compared with 47 percent a
year earlier and 44 percent in 1973.

Canada's earnings from U.S. travelers dropped 4 percent to $1.3 billion
in 1975. Average expenditures decreased
slightly, partly because of a 5 percent
decline in the number of Americans
traveling to Canada by air. (The average per capita expenses of air travelers
include passenger fares paid to
Canadian air carriers, and thus are
higher than those of auto travelers.) A
2 percent drop in the number of Americans staying overnight or longer in
Canada also contributed to the
reduction.
Americans traveling in Mexico last
year spent over $1.6 billion, an increase
of 11 percent, although the number of
visitors was less than in 1974. Expenditures in the areas close to the United
States-Mexican border rose 16 percent, but those in interior Mexico
were up only 3 percent. In both areas,
higher prices for tourist goods and services were largely responsible for the
increase; real travel expenditures in
Mexico dropped 4 percent.

for by Europe and the Mediterranean
area declined to 55 percent from 57 percent in 1974 and 64 percent in 1973.
Total expenditures in Europe and the
Mediterranean rose to $1.9 billion, 6
percent more than in 1974. Combined
expenditures in the Caribbean and Central American areas and in South
America increased about 15 percent.
Average expenditures were greater in
each area, but the number of U.S.
travelers to the Caribbean and Central
America declined while those to South
America rose 5 percent. U.S. residents
traveling to other areas (primarily the
Pacific and Far East) spent about 17
percent more than in 1974.
Europe and the Mediterranean Area

The number of U.S. travelers to
Europe and the Mediterranean area
dropped 4 percent to 3.2 million in
1975, after a decline of 15 percent in
1974. Total expenditures in most
countries rose because higher average
spending per traveler more than offset
the drop in the number of travelers.
Travel to Oversea Areas
Exceptions were countries affected by
U.S. travel expenditures in oversea political problems or hostilities, such as
countries increased 10 percent to nearly Portugal, Spain, Greece, and Israel,
$3.5 billion in 1975, despite a slight each of which suffered a drop in earndecrease in the number of travelers ings in 1975. In these countries, higher

1974. The number of oversea visitors
was virtually unchanged at 3.7 million.
Canadian and Mexican visitors
Canadians visiting the United States
spent $1.6 billion, a 27 percent rise.
The number of visitors rose 10 percent,
compared with a 2 percent decline in
1974. The proportionately larger rise
in dollar expenditures than in the
number of travelers resulted from a
strong rebound in auto travel for stays
of overnight or longer, due in part to
the improved availability of fuel for
autos in the United States (in contrast
to 1974, when there were fuel shortages). Air travel also increased sharply.

Foreign Visitors to the United
States
Expenditures of foreign visitors in
the United States increased 21 percent
to $4.9 billion in 1975 (table 6). About
80 percent of the increase resulted
from sharply higher spending by
Canadian and Mexican visitors. Visitors
from oversea areas spent $1.8 billion,
up 10 percent. In addition, they paid
about $0.8 billion to U.S. air carriers

Growth of travel by auto for visits of
overnight or longer, compared with
shorter visits by auto, tends to increase
average expenditures because longer
stays induce higher spending levels for
tourist services. Increased air travel
also contributes to higher average
expenditures because air fares paid to
U.S. air carriers are included as part
of air travelers' expenditures here.
Nearly one-third of all Canadian
travel expenditures in the United
States occurred in the first quarter of
1975, indicating a continued shift
toward more winter holidays in the
warmer U.S. climate.
Eeceipts from Mexican visitors totaled
$1.5 billion last year, up 30 percent.
More than three-fourths of the total
represented expenditures in U.S. areas
adjacent to the Mexican border, which
rose 34 percent. Expenditures in areas
beyond the border regions rose 19
percent. Sharp increases in prices in
Mexico may have stimulated demand
for only moderately higher-priced U.S.
goods and services. To a lesser extent,
rumors of a devaluation of the Mexican

occur) may have accelerated some
purchases in the U.S. border area of
goods paid for in pesos.
Visitors from overseas

21
Expenditures in the United States
by South American visitors jumped 28
percent to $0.3 billion, reflecting a
9 percent increase in the number of
visitors, to 440,000, and a sharp
rise in average per capita spending.
However, receipts from visitors from
the Caribbean and Central American
countries dropped 5 percent, to $0.2
billion, as the number of visitors
fell 6 percent to 480,000.
Visitors from other oversea areas
increased their expenditures in the
United States 10 percent to $0.7
billion. Receipts from Japanese visitors,
which accounted for $0.4 billion of
the total, were only slightly higher
than in 1974. Japanese visitors numbered 750,000, more than from any
other oversea country, but 2 percent
below the record 765,000 in 1974.
Receipts from other oversea countries
rose 23 percent to $0.3 billion.

The slow recovery from the 19741975 recession in many important oversea countries, coupled with inflationary
pressures here and abroad and an
appreciation of the exchange rate of
the dollar against many currencies in
the second half of 1975, dampened
travel to the United States by visitors
from overseas. Their expenditures here,
about $1.8 billion, were 10 percent more
than in 1974, but the number of

U.S. National Income and Product Accounts:
• Revised Estimates, First Quarter of .1973 to First Quarter of 1976
• Preliminary Estimates, Second Quarter of 1976
JATIONAL income and product estimates for 1972-75 and the first two
quarters of 1976 are presented on the
following pages. Estimates for the first
quarter of 1973 to the first quarter of
1976 have been revised. Major aspects
of the revisions and the second-quarter
estimates are reviewed in the "Business
Situation/' The selection of quarterly
series that is shown regularly in the
National Income and Product Tables
in the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
is not shown separately in this issue,
but its presentation will be resumed
next month.
The revised estimates presented here
incorporate a wide range of source data
that was not available when the benchmark revision of the national income
and product accounts published in
January 1976 was prepared. The most
important new source data and the
estimates in which they were incorporated are listed below: final 1973 and
Ereliminary 1974 Internal Revenue
ervice business tax return tabulations

(corporate profits, proprietors' income,
interest, inventories other than manuufacturing and trade, and capital
consumption allowances); 1975 State
unemployment insurance payroll data
(wage and salaries); 1973 and 1974 data
from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (employers' contributions to health and life insurance
component of "other labor income");
preliminary tabulations of product shipments from the 1974 Annual Survey
of Manufacturers (producers' durable
equipment); revised Census data on
private construction expenditures and
construction price and cost indexes
for 1973-75 (nonresidential and residential structures); Census data on
State and local government construction for 1975 (State and local government purchases); the Federal budget
for fiscal year 1977 and other Government financial reports (Federal Government receipts and expenditures); and
final Census data on the finances of
State and local governments for fiscal
year 1974 and preliminary data for

fiscal year 1975 (State and local
overnment receipts and expenditures),
easonal adjustment factors have been
updated.
Estimates for 1946-72 for most of
the quarterly series can be found in
Parts I and II of the January 1976
SURVEY. In a few instances detail
additional to that shown in the January
SURVEY is presented in the tables that
follow, and a few tables have been
renumbered. The complete set of the
estimates will be shown in The National Income and Product Accounts of
the United States, 1929-74, Statistical
Tables, which is at the printer; its
availability will be announced in the
SURVEY.
Seasonally unadjusted estimates of
GNP, personal consumption expenditures, government receipts and expenditures, foreign transactions, and
corporate profits are not presented in
this issue. They are available on request, and will be published in a subsequent issue.

3. Classified as durable or nondurable by type of product produced by the establishment
holding the inventory.
4. Classified as durable or nondurable by type of product sold by the establishment holding
the inventory.
NOTE.—The inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) shown in this table differs from that
which adjusts business income. The IVA in this table reflects the mix of methods (first infirst out, last in—first out, etc.) underlying book value inventories derived primarily from
Census Bureau statistics. This mix differs from that underlying business income derived from
statistics tabulated by the Internal Revenue Service and other sources. The industry classification is based on the 1967 Standard Industrial Classification.

1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventories
calculated from current-dollar inventories shown in this table is not the current-dollar change
in business inventories (CBI) component of GNP. The former is the difference between two
inventory stocks, each valued at end-of-quarter prices. The latter is the change in the physical
volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. In addition, changes calculated
from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at annual rates.

by the type of product produced by the establishment holding the inventory; for trade, by the
type of product sold by the establishment holding the inventory; for construction, durable;
and for other nonfarm industries, nondurable. The industry classification is based on the
1967 Standard Industrial Classification.

NOTE.—The implicit price deflator for GNP is a weighted average of the detailed price
indexes used in the deflation of GNP. In each period, the weights are based on the composition of constant-dollar output in that period. In other words, the price index for each item is
weighted by the ratio of the quantity of the item valued in 1972 prices to the total output
in 1972 prices. Changes in the implicit price deflator reflect both changes in prices and changes

in the composition of output. The chain price index uses as weights the composition of output
in the prior period, and, therefore, reflects only the change in prices between the two periods.
However, comparisons of percent changes in the chain index also reflect changes in the composition of output. The fixed-weighted price index uses as weights the composition of output
in 1972. Accordingly, comparisons over any timespan reflect only changes in prices.

'Revised, i Advance estimate.
H Data may be understated because of deficiencies in
the probability sample being used for current estimates (the 1972 Census of Retail Trade
indicates that total retail sales for 1972 were 4.8 percent higher than the estimates made from
the sample). A comprehensive revision of the survey (including the selection of a new and
improved sample) is now underway; revised data will be introduced upon its completion.




9 Includes data not shown separately.
cf Comprises lumber yards, building materials
dealers, and paint, plumbing, and electrical stores.
§ Except department stores mail order.
JSeasonally adjusted data have been revised back to Jan. 1973 to reflect new seas. adj.
factors (revisions prior to May 1975 are available from the Bureau of the Census, Wash.,
D.C. 20233).
