the BUSINESS SITUATION
Most of the evidence now available
indicates continued sluggishness of economic activity in April. Production
slipped, housing starts declined but
permits rose, nonfarm employment
was little changed, and unemployment moved higher. Although
total personal income posted a record
advance—due to increased social security benefits and the pay raise for Federal
Government employees—private payrolls recorded their first decline in over 5
years. A somewhat encouraging note
was provided by the wholesale price
index, which was unchanged in April
after having shown some deceleration in
February and March.

J- HE available indicators reflect continued sluggishness of economic activity
in April. Industrial production slipped,
housing starts declined but permits rose,
nonfarm employment waslittle changed,
and unemployment moved higher. Although total personal income posted a
record advance—due to increased social
security benefits and the pay raise for
Federal employees—private payrolls
declined. There was also a worsening
during the month in financial conditions,
as interest rates turned higher and
stock prices plunged. On the stronger
side, a reading of the weekly retail sales
figures suggests a fairly good-sized gain
in April.
A somewhat encouraging note was
provided by the wholesale price index,
which was unchanged in April after
having shown some deceleration in
February and March. Although the
latest improvement in wholesale price
behavior was due entirely to a decline
in farm prices—which generally reflect supply influences—the fact re
mains
that for the first time in 18


months the overall wholesale index did
not record even a modest advance.
Production down slightly

The Federal Reserve Index of industrial production dropped a bit in April,
about offsetting the small advance recorded in March. The decline amounted
to less than one-half of 1 percent, and
was centered in durable goods output.

The weakness in durables was mainly
attributable to contraction in the output of machinery, both electrical and
nonelectrical. There was little change
in the output of autos or steel. April
was the third consecutive month in
which a mixed pattern of generally small
changes held overall output virtually
stable, in contrast to the rather sharp
and steady contraction that had pre-

vailed in the 6 months ending in
January.
Employment and income in April

The unemployment rate rose sharply
from 4.4 percent in March to 4.8 percent in April, reaching the highest level
in 5 years. The bulk of the April rise in
unemployment was among male fulltime workers. The rate for teenagers
and nonwhites increased significantly,
but these groups account for a rather
small share of the labor force. The
civilian labor force, seasonally adjusted,
showed a small increase while there was
a rather sizable employment decline in
nonagricultural industries. Eelative to
the levels at yearend, the labor force
has grown substantially while employment has changed little; consequently,
unemployment has moved up sharply,
with the overall unemployment rate
posting uninterrupted advances from
last December's 3.5 percent. As may be
seen from the table below, the rise in
the unemployment rate has been pronounced for all the major labor force
categories.

Nonagricultural payroll employment
fell slightly last month, on a seasonally
adjusted basis, with the decline largely
associated with strikes in the construction and transportation industries. Continuing the pattern that has prevailed
since last September, there was a
rather sharp drop in employment in
manufacturing, especially in the durable goods industries, which was



about offset by gains in government
and the service-type industries. Last
month's sizable advance in government
employment largely reflected additional
Federal hiring of temporary Census
workers.
The general weakness in labor markets last month was reflected in a drop
of about $!}£ billion, at an annual
rate, in private sector payrolls. Wages
and salaries were down in the commodity producing and the distributive
industries, and about unchanged in
the service industries. Half of the
private sector decline was in manufacturing, where reductions in employment and hours more than offset the
rise in hourly earnings. Government
wages and salaries were sharply higher,
bolstered in part by increased employment but mainly by the Federal pay
raise. Government payrolls rose $6%
billion at a seasonally adjusted annual
rate, of which $3% billion represented
a one-time payment covering about
half of the retroactive portion of the
pay raise; the remainder of the retroactive payment will be in the personal
income figures for May.
The nonwage components of personal
income recorded generally small and
offsetting changes in April, with the
exception of transfer payments. These
were boosted $12% billion, at an annual
rate, by the increase in social security
payments. Of that amount, $8% billion
represented the lump-sum payment for
the portion of the benefit increase that
was retroactive to January 1.
Total personal income rose at a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of
$17% billion in April, of which $12
billion represented lump-sum retroactive payments. Since these payments
are not recurring, there will be a
matching decline in the personal income
figures from this source for May
and June. Nevertheless, the lump-sum
payments, as well as the ongoing higher
rates of pay for Federal employees and
higher benefits to social security recipients—which added $6% billion to
personal income in April—should serve
as a prop to consumer spending, foreshadowing some strengthening of this
important component of final demand
in the months immediately ahead.

May 1970

Orders for durable goods decline

One area where the recent deceleration
in economic activity has registered a
significant impact is in the volume of
new and unfilled orders for durable
goods (chart 1): New orders dropped
slightly in the closing quarter of last
year, and then sharply in the opening
quarter of this year, reaching a point 7
percent below last summer's peak.
The first quarter decline in new orders
was steeper than that in shipments
and the order backlog fell 3% percent.
The orders decline has been especially
pronounced for defense products and
primary metals, but it has affected other
major industry groups, as shown on
chart 1, as well as the aggregate of the
durable goods industries not shown
separately.
Revised first quarter GNP

On the basis of information that
was not available a month ago the
Nation's output of goods and services
is now estimated to have increased
$7% billion in the first quarter to an
annual rate of $959 K billion. Last
month's preliminary estimate reported
an increase of $8% billion.
Inventory investment, which is calculated in the preliminary figures on the
basis of data for only 2 months, is now
estimated to have declined $7 billion
rather than the $5 billion previously
reported. In major part, the revision
was due to the fact that inventory
accumulation by manufacturing and
trade firms in March was far less than
expected. These inventories had increased nearly $1 billion, seasonally
adjusted, in February but rose only
$150 million in March.
The revisions in the major components of final sales were generally
smaller. However, Federal Government
purchases have been increased about
$2 billion to reflect the retroactive part
of the pay raise. Although the retroactive payment is treated as a government purchase in the first quarter,
and thus as part of current dollar GNP
for that quarter, constant dollar GNP is
not affected because the higher pay scale
is an increase in the price the Government pays for the services of its em-

May 1970

ployees. (For an explanation of the
treatment of the pay raise in the national income and product accounts,
see page 13 of this issue of the SURVEY.)
As a result of the revisions, constant
(1958) dollar GNP in the first quarter
is now estimated to have declined $5%
billion, or 3 percent at an annual rate,
instead of the $3 billion decline reported
earlier. The implicit price deflator for
the first quarter has been raised largely
as a result of including the retroactive
part of the Federal pay raise in Federal
purchases in the quarter. Even excluding the pay raise, however, there was a
slight upward revision in the deflator
for the first quarter.

First Quarter Profits
The deceleration in economic activity
in the first quarter was reflected in a
drop in the real output of the corporate
sector. Moreover, the weakness in
demand forced corporations to absorb a
large part of increased production
costs, and profit margins, i.e., profit
per unit of output, declined. With both
volume and margins contracting, corporate profits recorded a sharp drop.
Nonfinancial corporations accounted
for all of the decline, with profits down
sharply in durable goods manufacturing; profits of financial institutions
were unchanged.
Before-tax profits, as measured for
national income purposes, fell to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of
$79% billion, down $6 billion from the
fourth quarter and nearly $11^ billion
below the peak reached in the summer
of 1968. This was the sixth consecutive
quarterly decline in this profits measure—which is net of an inventory
valuation adjustment (IVA) that eliminates the book profits or losses resulting
from differences between the acquisition cost of goods taken out of inventory and their replacement cost. In
relative terms, the first quarter decline
amounted to 7 percent, the steepest
since the summer of 1959.
Before-tax book profits—which include inventory profits and losses—
fell slightly more than the national
income measure. The $6% billion de

Recent Trends in Auto
Demand
Sales of domestic new cars in the first
quarter were at the lowest rate of any
nonstrike quarter since the economic
slowdown in early 1967. At a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of 7% million units,
sales were down 11 percent from the
third quarter of 1969, and one-sixth
below the recent peak of 9 million in
the third quarter of 1968.
The sharp decline since last summer
was accompanied by an even larger
reduction in output, as producers attempted to bring dealers' inventories
into better balance with the weakened
demand. Assemblies of passenger cars
fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate
of 6% million units in the first 3 months
of 1970, down from about 9 million last
summer. Except for the strike quarter
of 1964 and the first quarter of 1967,
output was far below any quarter since
the early 1960's.
The effort to reduce inventories has
been only partially successful. While
franchisee! dealers' stocks were down to
1.4 million units (seasonally adjusted)
at the end of March, from a peak of
1.65 million units at the end of last
October, they have remained quite

SUEVEY OF CUEKENT BUSINESS
high relative to sales. Stocks at the end
of March were equal to 2.3 months of
sales, about the same as in the fourth
quarter of 1969.
Sales by price line
Total new car sales have been on a
down trend since the third quarter of
1968 but, during this period, there have
been significant differences in sales
patterns by price lines. As can be seen
in chart 3, sales of both low priced
domestic cars and imports—which are
predominantly low priced—have continued to grow at a substantial pace.
Through las't summer, the decline in
total sales was entirely attributable to
medium priced cars; since then, the

1. High priced cars include: Cadillac, Eldorado, Toronado,
Riviera, Thunderbird, Lincoln, Mark III, and Imperial.
Low priced cars include: Chevy II (Nova), Corvair,
Comet (1964 and 1965), Falcon, Maverick (beginning April
1969), Valiant, Dart, and Rambler American (Hornet).
All other domestic-type cars are classified as medium
priced.
2. Imports exclude domestic-type cars built in and imported from Canada; these are included in domestic-type
new car sales.
NOTE: Percentages may not add to 100 because of
rounding.

continuing weakness in the medium
priced segment has been augmented
by a shrinkage in sales of high priced
cars.1 In the first quarter of 1970, sales
of medium priced and high priced cars
were lower than for any nonstrike
quarter since the mid-1960's; sales of
low priced cars and imports were at
near-record rates.
As can be seen in the chart and in
table 1, sales of low priced domestic
cars2 have been growing rapidly for
almost 3 years. For imports, the strong
growth trend dates back even farther.
The growing demand for small cars is
being accompanied by a proliferation
of new domestic sub-compacts. Sales of
low priced domestic cars accelerated
significantly starting in the second quar-

May 1970

ter of 1969 when the Ford Maverick
was introduced; even if the Maverick
were excluded, however, the performance of the low priced cars would still
be quite strong. In April of this year,
American Motors introduced the Gremlin; later this year, Ford plans to
introduce a Pinto and a Comet, and
General Motors its Vega 2300; Chrysler
has a new small car scheduled for 1971.

Recent Financial
Developments
The course of interest rates and bond
yields has been twice reversed since the
beginning of 1970. After reaching historic highs around the turn of the year,
borrowing costs, especially in shortterm markets, declined through March.
By mid-April, however, interest rates
had turned up again and were generally
rising in early May.

1. The classification of cars by price-line is necessarily
arbitrary. The available data do not separate car sales by
price within a nameplate, and the classification used here
assigns all sales under a given nameplate to one of the three
price lines (see footnote 1, table 1). The 1970 list prices of cars
classified here as "low priced" are mostly under $2,500
(exclusive of optional equipment) but range up to $2,800.
For "high priced" cars, list prices are $4,850 or higher.
2. The price-line categories make no allowance for optional
equipment. The prices actually paid for some fully equipped
"low priced" cars can be in excess of some "medium priced"
cars not so fully equipped. While low priced car sales have
recently been growing rapidly relative to other categories,
buyers have continued to increase their purchasing of extra
equipment, such as airconditioning, vinyl tops, etc. The
present analysis, therefore, may not be fully representative
of differences in sales movements of cars classified by actual
prices paid.

HISTORICAL DATA
Historical national income and product data are available
from the following sources:
1965-68: July 1969 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.

1929-63: The National Income and Product Accounts of the
United States, 1929-65, Statistical Tables (available from any

Treatment of the Retroactive Features of the Federal Pay Raise and the Allocation of Special
Drawing Rights in the National Income and Product Accounts
Federal pay raise.—The Federal pay raise
enacted April 15 included $2.5 billion (at annual rates) representing payments retroactive
to the first quarter. Of the $2.5 billion, $2.1
billion was payable to persons classified in the
national income and product accounts as
general Government employees. The remainder was payable to employees of Federal
Government enterprises, mainly of the Post
Office.
Production is an accrual concept. It is
measured when it occurs rather than when
payments for it are matte. Inasmuch as the
retroactive wage and salary payments are for
productive services rendered by Government
employees in the first quarter, these payments
must be reflected in the first quarter gross
national product (GNP) and national income,
the two measures of national production featured in the accounts. The preliminary first
quarter estimates published in the April issue
of the SURVEY have accordingly been revised.
Current dollar GNP has been increased by
$2.1 billion, and national income is $2.5 billion
higher than it would have been in the absence
of the pay raise. Constant (1958) dollar GNP
is not affected. Because the higher Federal pay
scale is an increase in the price Government
pays for the services of its employees, the revisions in the implicit price deflators for
Federal purchases and for total GNP exactly
offset the increases in the current dollar
estimates.
Personal income, the third major aggregate
in the accounts, records wages and salaries on
a disbursement rather than on an accrual
basis, because this results in a measure of incomes flowing to persons that is superior for
the study of consumer behavior. Hence, the
retroactive payments do not necessitate revision of first quarter personal income. Similarly, no revision has been made in total
Federal expenditures in the Federal budget
on national income account, because the
retroactive payments did not affect the economic impact of the Federal budget in the
first quarter. They will be reflected both in
personal income and in Federal budget expenditures at an annual rate of $2.5 billion in
the second quarter.
The following comments provide a more
systematic explanation of the treatment of
the retroactive features of the pay raise in
terms of the adjoining set of summary national
income and product accounts.
" Government purchases of goods and services" and total GNP are increased by $2.1
billion at annual rates in the first quarter to
allow for the retroactive payments to general
Government employees. " Wages and salaries"
and total national income are increased by
$2.5 billion. However, there is a partly offsetting change of $0.4 billion in the Government enterprise component of "subsidies less
current surplus of government enterprises,"
which reflects the retroactive payments to
employees of the Post Office and of other
Government enterprises. Thus, the total
revision in GNP obtained by summing incomes
equals the revision in the more commonly
used measure of GNP that is obtained by
summing product flows. (See Account 1.)

SUEVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

14

May 1970

Personal income (Account 2) includes only
the "disbursements" component of wages and
salaries as shown in Account 1. Accordingly,
it is not affected in the first quarter by the
pay raise. Similarly, there is no net entry in
the first quarter in Account 3. Federal Government purchases of the services of its employees (both general Government and
Government enterprise employees), which
are included on an accrual basis, are converted
to a disbursement basis by the "wage accruals
less disbursements" entry taken from Account 1. This is a departure from previous
practice, according to which the counterpart
to the Account 1 entry was in Account 5, the
gross saving and investment account.
In the second quarter, there are no net
entries with respect to retroactive wages and
salaries in Account 1, disbursements of wages

and salaries being offset by a negative entry
for wage accruals less disbursements. However, the retroactive payments are registered
in Account 2 in wage and salary disbursements
and in Account 3 through the entry for wage
accruals less disbursements.
The summary accounts also show how the
retroactive wage and salary payments affect
personal saving and Government surplus in
Accounts 2 and 3 and in Account 5, the
national saving and investment account.
Allocation of Special Drawing Rights.—The
Special Drawing Rights (SDR) system was
activated as of January 1. The allocation of
SDR's to the United States is $0.9 billion for
1970. These Special Drawing Rights represent
additions to the foreign assets of the United
States that are not matched by corresponding
liabilities. It seems appropriate therefore to

consider them as part of U.S. net foreign
investment. It is more difficult to make a
corresponding entry for the source of this
investment. Some national economic accounting systems distinguish a category of capital
transfers or grants (separate from current
transfers) in which the source of this foreign
investment could be entered. The U.S.
system has recognized only current transfer
payments so far, because there did not seem
a practical need for a category of capital
transfers or grants. To account for the allocation of SDR's, such a category is now
introduced, with SDR's as its sole occupant
for the time being. (See Accounts 4 and 5.)
This accounting is preliminary. The nature
of SDR's and their treatment in the U.S.
balance of pa3^ments accounts will be discussed
in the June SURVEY.

Public and Private Debt

mortgage debt by borrowing and lending
groups, by type of property (table 7 of the
May 1968 SURVEY), is available upon request
from the Office of Business Economics.
The tables on public and private debt have
been revised back to 1955 for net debt (table

1) and gross debt (table 2) in order to incorporate a new series on State and local
government debt. Revisions in other series
have been confined* to 1966 through 1968.
Statistics for years prior to 1955 may be found

Wages Under Collective Bargaining in 1970
Many more of the workers covered by
collective bargaining are negotiating
new contracts this year than last, and
the increases they gain for 1970 will
almost certainly exceed the deferred
increases of workers not negotiating. It
seems likely, therefore, that the average
wage rate change for all workers under
collective bargaining will be larger this
year than last.

5 million workers are covered
by major labor contracts up for negotiation in 1970, a year marked by an
unusually heavy calendar of negotiations. Another group, numbering
slightly more than 5 million, is scheduled to receive deferred wage increases
under the terms of contracts negotiated
in the past.1 Although the unionized
workers covered by major contracts
account for only about 20 percent of all
nonsupervisory workers in the nonfarm
sector, movements in their wages are
nevertheless an interesting and important factor in the economy. The
average wage rate increase this year
for the unionized group will reflect
both the first-year increases resulting
from new negotiations and the deferred
increases. It seems highly likely that
this overall change, or "effective wage
1. The data on labor-management contract negotiations
used in this article are compiled and published by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics. They relate to major contracts covering
1,000 or more workers. A small proportion of the 5 million
workers affected by negotiations in 1970 are negotiating under
provisions for the reopening of contracts, rather than negotiating new contracts. In this article, however, the entire
5 million are referred to as though they were negotiating new
contracts. In addition to those negotiating in 1970 and those
receiving deferred increases, there is a relatively small
group
of workers who, while covered by major contracts, are

neither negotiating nor receiving deferred increases.


adjustment/ 7 will be larger than in
1969. Last year it amounted to just
over 5 percent of the straight time
hourly earnings of the workers covered
by major contracts (chart 9). A figure
of 6 percent or even more seems possible
this year.
The size of the effective wage adjustment in any given year depends on the
size of the first-year increase negotiated
in that year, the size of the deferred
increase received in that year, and the
proportion of the total group of workers
receiving each type of increase. There
are two factors making it likely that
the effective wage adjustment will be
higher this year than last. First, the
wage increases provided for the first
year under new contracts have been
rising steadily and in 1970, as in other
recent years, will almost certainly exceed the deferred increases provided by
contracts negotiated previously. Second,
roughly half of all workers covered by
major contracts are affected by new
negotiations this year whereas negotiations last year involved only about
one-fourth of the group.
In 1969, workers whose contracts had
been negotiated in earlier years received
a deferred increase averaging 4 percent,
half the size of the first-year increase
provided by new contracts. The average
deferred increase scheduled to be received in 1970 is 4.4 percent, a little
higher than last year; contract settlements in the first quarter of 1970
provided a first-year increase averaging
8.8 percent.2
2. The figures for first-year and deferred increases, calculated by BLS, are medians rather than means. The medians
are used throughout this article, and referred to as "averages." Calculations of mean values exist only beginning with
data for 1968. The mean first-year adjustment negotiated in
1969 was 9.2 percent; in the first quarter of 1970 it was 10.8
percent.

The outcome of contract negotiations
in the remainder of the year cannot, of
course, be foretold. Workers are pressing vigorously for large increases. Economic activity has been slackening,
however, with unemployment rising and
profits falling. For the full year 1970,
the average first-year wage increase
resulting from new negotiations might
be lower than the 8.8 percent negotiated
in the first quarter—though it could
also conceivably be higher. However,
even if the outcome for the full year is
lower than that in the first quarter, the
effective wage adjustment for the union
worker group as a whole is still likely
to be greater in 1970 than in 1969.
This assessment rests on the change in

the "weights": in 1970, relative to 1969,
a much larger proportion of the total
group is affected by new negotiations.
Given that fact, the effective wage
adjustment for the group as a whole
will be larger in 1970 so long as the
average first-year increase negotiated
this year is even moderately larger than
the average 4% percent deferred increase
scheduled to be received.
Factors in labor9s demands
Union members are pressing strongly
for large wage gains in contract negotiations this year. The factors underlying
their interest in large gains also point
toward a particular interest in obtaining large increases in the first year of
the new contracts.
As a rule, major labor contracts have
a duration of several years, and those
up for negotiation in 1970 were therefore generally settled 2 to 3 years ago.
During the intervening period, labor
market conditions have been generally
tight and the economy has experienced
serious price inflation. Consequently,

NOTE.—Except for 1970 effective wage adjustment, estimated by OBE, data are compiled by Bureau of Labor Statistics and
cover major contracts affecting 1,000 or more workers. Figures for the number of workers in the categories in 1970 are preliminary.
The component groups of workers do not sum to the total in 1969 because some workers who negotiated during the year also
received deferred increases. Wage changes are calculated on straight time hourly earnings.

workers negotiating new contracts in
1970 have an interest both in catching
up with the gains won in recent years
by other workers—both union and nonunion—and in offsetting the impact
that inflation has had on their real
incomes.
The wage gains provided by new contracts have been growing significantly.
The upward trend of first-year increases can be seen in chart 9. The
average annual wage increase over the
full term of the contract—counting
deferred increases provided by the
agreement as well as the first-year incre.as'e—has also grown in recent years:
it rose from just under 4 percent for
contracts negotiated in 1966 to almost 7
percent for those negotiated last year.
Kelatively little is known about
movements in the wage rates of the
workers not covered by major labor contracts, who account for the great bulk
of the labor force. Some data compiled
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggest that, in manufacturing at least,
nonunion wage rates rose somewhat
faster than union rates in recent years.
Quite possibly, in that period of generally strong labor demand, wage rates
were adjusted more frequently in nonunion establishments than in establishments working under multiyear union
contracts. Minimum wage legislation
has also been a factor in recent years
tending to raise wage rates for many
low-paying, generally nonunion, jobs.
Although workers' earnings have
been rising at a substantial rate, infla-

tion has cut heavily into the growth of
real purchasing power. The consumer
price index for the year 1969 was up
5% percent from 1968, and almost 13
percent from 1966. Averaged for the
entire private nonfarm economy, the
rise last year in hourly compensation—
including fringe benefits—was very
modest in real terms (chart 10) .3 In
the first quarter of 1970, prices were
still rising rapidly and the real value of
average hourly compensation was barely
one-half of 1 percent higher than it had
been a year earlier. Thus workers have
a strong incentive to seek gains in
money income large enough to represent
a substantial boost in real purchasing
power. It might be noted, too, that they
apparently have a renewed interest in
cost-of-living "escalator" provisions.
Rise in labor costs
The pressure of labor cost is an
important factor in the squeeze on
profits. In the private nonfarm economy
as a whole, productivity last year was
almost unchanged from 1968 but hourly
compensation was up sharply and labor
cost per unit of output rose 6% percent
(chart 10). Unit labor cost continued
to rise rapidly in this year's first quarter—as did unit nonlabor cost—and
profit margins dropped further. (The
squeeze on the profits of nonfinancial
corporations is discussed in some detail
3. Compensation per man-hour includes wages, salaries,
and employers' contributions for social insurance and private
benefit plans; estimated by BLS for all workers, including
the self-employed.

In these circumstances, managers could
be expected to have a strong interest
in controlling costs and certainly in
resisting large wage increases. The year
may therefore prove to be one marked
by a relatively large number of strikes.
Effective

wage adjustment in 1970

It is clearly not possible at this time
to make any precise estimate of this
year's effective wage adjustment for
workers covered by major labor-management agreements. Negotiations in
the first quarter resulted in a median
first-year increase of 8.8 percent, but
the outcome of negotiations in the rest
of the year remains to be seen. Some
other relevant facts are known, however. Most of the workers not involved
in new negotiations this year are
scheduled to receive deferred wage
increases. The number of workers

(Continued from page 4)
The downward movement in credit
costs during the first quarter appeared
to be attributable in large part to a
reassessment of market expectations
that stemmed from the slackness in
business activity and from scattered
evidence suggesting some reduction in
the degree of credit restraint. In late
March, the decline in market rates was
spurred by a reduction, from 8% to 8
percent, in the prime rate, i.e., the rate
that banks charge their most creditworthy borrowers.
As is typically the case when the
direction of interest rate movements is
reversed, the change in short-term
rates was substantially greater than
that in long-term rates. Indeed, by the
end of March, most short-term rates
were down roughly l-to-1% percentage
points from their yearend levels, a
decline nearly twice that registered in
yields of U.S. Government and State
and local bonds (chart 4). The intensity
of corporate demands for long-term
credit, prevented much downward adjustment of yields on corporate bonds.
At the end of the first quarter these
yields were basically unchanged from

involved—between 5.0 and 5.3 million—and the average increase—4.4
percent—are known, and these facts
have an important bearing on the
likely size of the effective wage adjustment for the total group covered by
major agreements.
The deferred increase is small relative
to the first-year increases negotiated
this year and for several years past.
This results from the practice known as
front loading, coupled with the general
escalation of wage settlements in recent
years. Most contracts run for more than
1 year, and it has become typical for
them to include increases scheduled to
occur after the first year. Negotiations
in recent years have established a
pattern of front loading, in which the
deferred increases are smaller than those
provided in the contract's first year. In
1970, as in any year, the deferred increases received by workers are the
result of negotiations in previous years.

The fact that settlements have generally
become larger in the intervening period
tends to widen the gap between those
deferred increases and the first-year
increases received under new negotiations.
If it is assumed that negotiations in
1970 will result in an average first-year
increase equal to the 8.8 percent
negotiated in the first quarter, then the
median effective wage adjustment in
1970 might be on the order of 6 to
6% percent.4 The elements of the calculation by OBE are shown in table 1.
On the basis of this type of calculation,
the effective adjustment in 1970 would
exceed last year's 5.1 percent even if
the first-year increase negotiated this
year were as much as 2_to 2% percentage
points less than the 8.8 percent reported for the first quarter.

their yearend levels.
In April, conditions in money markets
were permitted to tighten a little as an
excessive generation of reserves caused
by technical factors in late March was
offset. However, the runup in interest
rates continued into a period when the
Treasury was engaged in a major financing operation. In order to facilitate
this operation, the monetary authorities
undertook large scale open market
purchases of government securities in
early May.

flotations so far in 1970 partly reflected
an accelerating demand for external
financing, as capital investment continued to expand while internal funds
declined. The first quarter also witnessed efforts by corporations to refinance short-term debt by issuing longer
maturities. In addition to attempts to
lengthen maturity structures, the decline in the demand for short-term
credit also reflected the slowing in
inventory accumulation.
The volume of new tax-exempt State
and local government bond issues
moved up sharply in early 1970. As in
the case of corporations, a substantial
portion of the growth in tax-exempt
issues reflected a partial refinancing of
the unprecedented volume of shortterm debt incurred during the credit
stringency of 1969.
Net borrowing by the Federal government was moderate during the first
quarter of 1970, but an increase marked
the reversal of the experience in 1969,
when substantial budget surpluses led
to a large reduction in Federal debt
held by the public. Also, the debt of
government-sponsored credit agencies
continued to expand rapidly.

Credit demands continue strong

Despite the slower pace of economic
activity in the opening months of 1970,
credit demands have remained very
heavy, and the volume of funds raised
in financial markets was roughly the
same as in the closing quarter of last
year. Borrowing by the household sector eased a little as there was a slackening in both the growth of outstanding
consumer credit—especially automobile
paper—and mortgage debt. The other
major borrowing groups generally
raised more funds in the first quarter
than in the fourth.
The striking rise in corporate bond

4. An estimate by OBE based on mean rather than median
data results in an effective wage adjustment in 1970 of about
7J-6 percent, compared with 6^3 percent in 1969.

18
Slight easing of credit policy
The monetary authorities moved
cautiously in the early months of 1970
to moderate somewhat the severity of
credit restraint. The Federal Eeserve
System has indicated that the goal in
1970 is to pursue a course in monetary
policy that avoids a new outbreak of
excess demands or an intensification of
the slowdown in economic activity. The
authorities have stated that restraint
as severe as that in the latter half of
1969 could not continue without incurring the cost of excessive unemployment and a major shrinkage in the
Nation's output; on the other hand, it
is equally important to avoid a stimulus
to spending that would lead to a reemergence of excess demands. Within
the narrow bounds defined by these
constraints, the stance of monetary
policy has shifted somewhat in the
early months of 1970 and the path of
most monetary aggregates has turned
to expansion.

SUEVEY OF CUKEENT BUSINESS
Improved savings flows to nonbank
institutions
A significant aspect of the decline
in short-term market interest rates
after the turn of the year was that it
helped improve the competitive position of institutions seeking to attract
time deposits. In addition, the ceilings
on the rates that such institutions may
pay were raised in late January, and
the attractiveness of time deposits
was probably also improved for certain
investors by the recent increase to
$10,000 in the minimum purchase
allowable in the weekly Treasury bill
auction.
Since January, the flow of savings
into nonbank depositary intermediaries
has moved up noticeably, after having
declined markedly during the severe
credit stringency of 1969. In February
and March, the net flow of savings to
savings and loan associations averaged

May 1970

a little more than $% billion, seasonally
adjusted, as compared with virtually
no growth in the preceding 6 months.
Preliminary data indicate that the
S & L's recorded further savings gains
in April. Mutual savings banks exhibited a basically similar pattern of
improved savings flows in recent
months.
The recent increase in the investible
resources of savings and loan associations was used to improve their liquidity position, rather than to step
up mortgage lending activities. These
institutions halted their liquidation of
U.S. Government securities which had
marked the past year, and slowed the
pace at which they borrowed from the
Federal Home Loan Banks. Also, the
mutual savings banks did not step up
their mortgage lending activities; the
bulk of their first quarter gain in investible funds was used to purchase
corporate securities.

Bank credit up
With monetary policy a little easier
in the early months of this year, the
expansion in commercial banks' earning
assets accelerated. Total loans and investments, adjusted to include an
estimate of loans sold by banks, grew
in the first 4 months of 1970 at a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of about
3% percent, more than twice the rate in
the second half of 1969. The growth of
the loan component of bank credit
slowed, however, and the investment
component accounted for the bulk of
the gain in earning assets.
Banks once again became net buyers
in the market for tax-exempt securities.
During the first 4 months of 1970, they
added $3 billion to their portfolios of
tax-exempts, after making a net reduction of more than $1 billion during
the last half of 1969. Banks also slowed
their runoff of Federal Government
securities; in March and April they
made moderate net additions to their
holdings, of these assets.

The Relationship Between Personal Income
and Taxable Income
Taxable income of individuals has
grown much faster than the OBE
personal income measure over the past
two decades, but the differential was
not due to the fact that personal income
differs conceptually from the income
subject to Federal tax. This article
outlines the relationship between the
two magnitudes and indicates the
factors accounting for the difference
in growth rates.

JL ERSONAL income is calculated by
the Office of Business Economics as a
measure of the current income received
by persons from all sources. In this
context, "persons" are defined to consist not only of individuals but also
nonprofit institutions and private trust
and welfare funds. In addition to incomes arising from production, the
estimate of personal income includes
transfers from government and business; it also includes substantial
amounts of imputed income in addition
to that received in money form.
Personal income is not a measure of
the income subject to the Federal personal income tax, because it includes
some income not subject to the tax—
such as most transfers and the income
of nonprofit institutions—and excludes
some items that are subject to taxation—such as realized capital gains.
Adjustment of personal income for
these and other conceptual differences
yields an estimate of the total adjusted
gross income (AGI) of taxable and nontaxable individuals. That estimate of
total AGI differs from taxable income
as compiled by the Internal Revenue
Service from individuals' tax returns.



The difference consists of deductions, rate than personal income in the period

Exemptions grow slowly
1. The data in table 1 extend forward and make some
revisions in the series published in William H. Waldorf, "The
Responsiveness of Federal Personal Income Taxes to Income
Change," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, December 1967.
The revisions affect most of the data for 1965. For earlier
years, the revisions affect certain of the items that are counted
in personal income but excluded from adjusted gross income;
the affected items are in lines 2(b) and 2(d) of table 1.

In contrast to deductions, the growth
of aggregate personal exemptions was
quite slow. From 1948 onward, the
personal exemption was stable at $600.
Thus, growth of the aggregate was
19

SUEVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS

20
largely limited by the growth of the
population eligible for the exemption.
In the past decade, the effect of a
marked slowing in births has been only
partly offset by an accelerated rise in
the number of persons aged 65 or over
and thus eligible for an additional
exemption. Over the next few years,
however, faster growth of aggregate
exemptions can be expected as a result
of the Tax Reform Act of 1969, which

provides for increasing the personal
exemption to $750 by 1973.
Nontaxable and nonreported income

The exemptions and deductions of
taxable individuals account for the
difference between taxable income (line
11, table 1) and the AGI of taxable
individuals as compiled by IES (line
8). The latter measure differs from the
OBE estimate of total A GI of all individuals (line 5) by the amount of
reported but nontaxable AGI plus the
CHART 11 estimated amount of nonreported AGI.
These magnitudes are shown on lines

One source of possible error in the
estimates is the OBE measure of personal income, which is of course itself
subject to error. Another factor, which
tends to inflate the estimate of nonreported AGI, is that the estimate includes some incomes that were not reported because they were received by
persons with incomes below the filing
requirement. Another consideration is
that the data presented in this article
are based in part on tax returns as filed,
and thus reflect not only nonreporting
but also errors and differences of opinion
which are subsequently rectified
through the auditing and appellate
procedures provided by law. While no
precise measure is available of the
amounts involved, it is probable that
final data would show a smaller degree
of noncompliance than that suggested
by the estimates of nonreported income
presented here.
On the other hand, it was necessary
in deriving OBE's estimate of total
AGI to use tax-return data for the
items (such as the taxable portions of
capital gains and taxable pensions) included in A GI but not in personal income. This procedure, wjiich was necessary in the absence of independent data,
involves the implicit assumption that
all such incomes are reported; it thus
presumably puts a downward bias on
the estimates of nonreported income
and of the ratio of nonreported income
to total AGI.

Line 2 of table 1 shows the estimated
amount of personal income that is
either not taxable or taxable on a
different accounting basis than that
used in recording personal income.
Transfer payments are the largest of
the items included in personal income
but excluded from adjusted gross in-

come. The excluded amount comprises
all types of transfers except military
retirement pay. Most of the personal income component called "other labor
income" is also excluded from adjusted
gross income. The excluded amount
consists largely of employer contributions to private pension and welfare
funds and compensation for injuries.

May 1970

The imputed incomes deducted from
personal income include wages paid in
kind, the rental value of owner-occupied
housing, food and fuel produced and
consumed on farms, and the value of
interest imputed to depositors in financial intermediaries, holders of life insurance policies, and participants in noninsured pension funds.
The other items subtracted from
personal income include income not
received by individuals, income excluded by law from AGI, and allowances for differences between the way
incomes are reported in personal and
in adjusted gross income. Personal
income not received by individuals
comprises income retained by fiduciaries, that is, not distributed to beneficiaries, and property income received

by nonprofit institutions serving households. In 1968, these items had estimated values of about $3% billion and
more than $!}£ billion, respectively.
The items included in personal income but legally excludable from AGI
are as follows, with their amounts in
1968: excluded sick pay, business expenses, moving expenses, and contributions to self-employed retirement
plans, $5% billion; tax-exempt military
pay and allowances, $3% billion; excluded dividends, $1 billion; tax-exempt
interest, $1 billion; and tax-exempt
dividend distributions, $% billion. The
accounting differences between personal income and adjusted gross income
involve the treatment of such items as
depreciation on tenant-occupied residential properties and farms; gains on
the sale of livestock, timber, and certain
real estate developments; savings bond

interest; depletion charges on mineral
production; and other items.
Additions to personal income

Of the items included in AGI but not
counted in personal income, the fastest
growth rate was shown by personal
contributions for social insurance. The
sharp rise in these contributions reflected increases in the contribution
rate, increases in the maximum income
level subject to contribution, and extension of the social security system to
broader classes of workers. The other
items not counted in personal income
but included in AGI include realized
capital gains, the taxable portion of
annuities and pensions, and a host of
miscellaneous items such as prizes,
awards, gambling winnings, and so
forth.

Personal Income in Metropolitan and
Nonmetropolitan Areas
During the 1950's, the mechanization
of farming and the rural-to-urban migration caused personal income in nonmetropolitan areas to grow at a much
slower rate than in metropolitan areas.
In the 1960's, the effects of these two
factors abated, and income growth in
nonmetropolitan
areas
accelerated
rapidly. Mainly because of this, the
nonmetropolitan*metropolitan
difference in the rate of growth of personal
income has been substantially reduced.

JL HE tables accompanying this article
update and continue OBE's metropolitan area income series first introduced
in the May 1967 issue of the SURVEY.
Preliminary estimates of total and per
capita personal income are presented for
metropolitan areas (SMSA's) and for
the sum of nonmetropolitan areas (nonSMSA's) in each major region in 1968.
Minor revisions have been made in the
previously published estimates for some
areas for selected years, 1929-67, but
the annual revisions introduced into the
national accounts for 1965-67 have not
yet been incorporated. Personal income
is shown for each SMSA on a wherereceived basis as well as on a whereearned basis. The concepts and

Conklin, Francis Dallavalle, Linnea Hazen,

Sahadachny, and Maurice Schlak.


methodology underlying the SMSA income series are outlined in the notes to
the accompanying tables. They were
discussed at somewhat greater length
in the May 1969 SURVEY, and a statement on sources of data and methods
of estimating is available on request.
Availability of unpublished data
A large amount of information is now
available about local area income by
type and by industry of origin. A sample of the detail available is shown on
page 36. Comparable tables are available for any SMSA and for most of the
2,630 non-SMSA counties. Also, counties can be grouped in any specified
combination. The cost of special tabulations is computed at $10 per area (SMSA
or county) for table 5.00 (on page
36) plus $1 per area for each of tables
5.01-5.07. Address requests for tabulations to the Regional Economics Division, Office of Business Economics,
Washington, D.C. 20230, specifying the
area and tables desired. A cost estimate will be issued immediately.
Personal income earned in nonmetropolitan areas grew from 1959 to 1968
at an average annual rate of 6.6 percent,
compared 10 a 6.7 percent growth rate
in metropolitan areas. As can be seen
in the table below, the near equality in,
rates of income growth in SMSA's and
non-SMSA's in the 1960's contrasts significantly with the experience of the
1950's. From 1950 to 1959, personal income in SMSA's increased 6.5 percent
per year—about the same as in the
1959-68 span—but income in nonSMSA's grew at an average rate of only
4.8 percent.

Effect of farm income
The comparatively slow growth of
non-SMSA income during the 1950's
stemmed from two major interrelated
factors. First, personal income derived
from farming declined substantially
over that span whereas income from all
other major industries was scoring good
gains. The growth in the service industries was especially rapid. The decline
in farm income reflected in large part a
rapid increase in mechanization of farm
operations and a consequent shrinkage
in the share of value added received by
labor—self-employed and hired—which
is the principal component of personal
income.
The weakness of the agricultural sector in the 1950's had an especially large
impact on overall income growth in nonSMSA's because farm income accounted
for 20 percent of total income in nonSMSA's in 1950, but for only 2 percent
in SMSA's. Moreover, the decline in
farm income limited the gains in supAverage Annual Rates of Change in Personal

porting industries such as trade and
service; this, in turn, further retarded
the rise in total income in non-SMSA's.
The direct effect of the decline in farm
income on total income growth in
SMSA's and non-SMSA's can be seen
by comparing the growth of total and
nonfarm earnings in the two types of
areas from 1950 to 1959.

A second factor in the lag of nonSMSA income in the 1950's was the
tremendous shift of population from
non-SMSA's to SMSA's. This was
partly a result of the decline in farm

rose only 4 percent in the period, while
that of SMSA's increased 25 percent.
In the Plains, Southeast, and Southwest
regions, non-SMSA population was unchanged or down slightly, while in the
Eocky Mountain region it rose only
5 percent. This shift of population
caused a concomitant shift in most
types of nonfarm income, thus further
curtailing total income expansion in
non-SMSA's.
Differentials narrow in 1960's
There was a substantial narrowing
of the metropolitan-nonmetropolitan
growth rate differential in the 1959-68
period, as income in non-SMSA's increased much more than that in
SMSA's. As in the earlier decade, developments in farm income continued to
hold the national rate of income growth
in non-SMSA's below that in SMSA's.

1. U.S. totals shown for 1965,1966, and 1967 do not agree with totals shown in the state
personal income series (August 1969 SURVEY). Note that, unlike the State series, the U.S.
total for 1959 includes Alaska and Hawaii.

2. The OBE definition of SMSA's in New England differs from that of the Bureau of the
Budget, see note.

NOTE.—Personal income is the current income of persons in an area from all sources. It is
measured before deduction of income and other personal taxes, but after deduction of personal
contributions to social security, government retirement, and other social insurance programs.
It consists of wages and salaries (in cash and in kind and including tips and bonuses as well
as contractual compensation), various types of supplementary earnings termed "other labor
income" (the largest item being employer contributions to private pension and welfare funds),

and the net incomes of owners of unincorporated businesses (farm and nonfarm, including the
incomes of independent professionals), net rental income, dividends, interest, and government
and business transfer payments (consisting in general of disbursements to persons for which
no services are rendered currently, such as unemployment benefits, social security payments,
and welfare and relief payments).
The classification of SMSA's used in this report accords with the Bureau of the Budget

3. Included in the Boston SMSA are Brockton, Lawrence, Haverhill, and Lowell SMSA's
and the non-SMSA portions of Essex, Middlesex, and Plymouth counties.

definitions published in 1967 and amended January 1968, with the following exceptions: (1)
In New England, SMSA's are defined officially in terms of cities and towns instead of counties.
SMSA's in New England were redefined for this report to conform to a county basis, the localarea unit for which income estimates can be constructed. (2) In Alaska, Vermont, and Wyoming—States without official SMSA's—Anchorage, Burlington, and Cheyenne, respectively,
are treated as SMSA's. (3) The geographic definition of each SMSA is held constant over the

entire period for which the estimates were made.
The two versions of area personal income presented in this report differ in the treatment of the
earnings component, which is the sum of wages and salaries, other labor income, and proprietors' income. In the first version, termed "where-earned," earnings reflect place of word
of the recipient. In the second version, termed "where-received," earnings reflect place of
residence. The same measures of property and transfer income are used for both versions.

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20402
OFFICIAL BUSINESS

New Tool for
Business Planning
and Research

T

he detailed input-output structure of the U.S.
economy is now available on magnetic tape
for computer processing.
The tape record contains: (1) total transactions;
(2) directly allocated output; (3) transferred output;
(4) direct requirements per dollar of gross output;
and (5) total requirements per dollar of delivery to
final demand.
The cost of these tapes is $200 for the 85-industry
level, $350 for the 367-industry level, and $250 for
the 478-industry level. The reason for the lower price
on the tape on the 478-industry level is that it includes only total transactions, directly allocated output, and transferred output. Included with each tape
is a detailed description of the tape layout and instructions for use. The tapes are generated on a
Honeywell 1250 and the data are inscribed as 7
track, 556 BPI, and are available in either even or
odd parity. Please specify when ordering a tape.




The input-output tapes—as well as additional information—are available from the National Economics
Division, Office of Business Economics, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230. A check
payable to the Office of Business Economics, U.S.
Department of Commerce, for the total amount of the
order must be enclosed with the order.
A description of the "Input-Output Structure of the U.S.
Economy: 1963" appeared in the November 1969 issue of the
Survey of Current Business.

A good way to learn about the applications of the
input-output technique is to attend a seminar conducted by the professionals in the Office of Business
Economics and private industry who have intimate
knowledge of the system and its uses. Seminars are
scheduled for June 10, 1970 in Minneapolis, Minn.,
and June 18, 1970 for the Richmond, Va. area. In
the fall, seminars will be held in St. Louis, San
Francisco, Boston, and Denver.

For more details, contact your nearest field
office of the U.S. Department of Commerce (addresses
are shown on the inside front cover).
