BUSINESS SITUATION

J.HE Nation's output of goods andservices, measured in current dollars,rose little in the opening quarter of1967 as a severe cutback in inventoryinvestment offset to a considerableextent a sizable advance in final sales.According to preliminary estimates,gross national product reached a season-

ally adjusted annual rate of $764billion in the first quarter, up $5 billionor two-thirds of 1 percent from lastyear's fourth quarter. Rising pricesaccounted for the entire increase, andthe physical volume of production(GNP in constant dollars) was un-changed from the fourth quarter. It

was the first time since the opening-quarter of 1961 that real GNP hasfailed to advance.

The first quarter slowdown in GNPwas primarily a reaction to the morerapid growth in inventories than indemand last year, particularly in thefourth quarter. About half of the $14billion gain in GNP in the closingquarter of 1966 was accounted for bya rise in inventory investment, a goodpart of which was due to the un-expectedly sluggish pace of consumerpurchases of goods. Manufacturingand trade firms attempted to pare theirstocks by reducing their orders. Theresultant cutbacks in production earlythis year led to a reduction in the rateof inventory investment of approxi-mately $11 billion from the fourthquarter.

This large reduction in inventoryaccumulation was more than balanced,however, by a very sizable advance infinal sales (GNP less inventory invest-ment) of $16 billion, more than doublethe gain in the fourth quarter. Con-sumer spending, despite a sharp dropin auto buying, led the sales advancewith an increase of $8 billion. Pur-chases by both Federal and State andlocal governments continued to risesubstantially. Both business fixed in-vestment and residential constructionwere unchanged from the previousquarter. For the former, the quartermarked a leveling off after 5% years ofalmost continuous advance; for thelatter, it represented the end of a threequarter decline that was especiallysteep in the second half of 1966. Withexports rising more rapidly than imports,net exports of goods and services showedthe first gain in almost 2 years.

The decline in auto production andsales in the first quarter was pronounced.Seasonally adjusted unit sales of newdomestically produced cars, which hadfallen slightly in the fourth quarter toan 8% million annual rate, fell to a 7%million rate in the first. With carproduction running considerably ahead

of demand in the fourth quarter, a largebulge in dealer stocks developed. Autoproduction was sharply curtailed in thefirst quarter, a development that per-mitted dealers to trim inventories inthe face of lower sales. This cutback inautos was an important offset to therise in nonauto production, as may beseen in the table below.

* Preliminary.

It should be noted that the firstquarter figures are based on prelimi-nary and incomplete data and are sub-ject to revision next month. In par-ticular, the estimate of the inventorycomponent of GNP is based on 2months' information only, with Feb-ruary data still preliminary. The re-vised first quarter estimates of inven-tory change and GNP that will bepublished next month may differ sig-nificantly from those presented here.

Price rise continuesThe overall level of prices, as meas-

ured by the implicit GNP deflator,rose about as much in the first quarteras in the fourth. The deflator for con-sumer expenditures rose at about halfthe fourth quarter rate, but the de-flator for State and local governmentpurchases showed a sharp acceleration.Prices of fixed investment goods con-tinued to rise at the same high rate asin the fourth quarter. The slower risein consumer prices reflected the firstquarterly price decline in 6 years fortotal consumer goods and a contin-uation of the rapid increase in prices ofconsumer services.

Strong rise in personal income

The slower rate of output expansionin the first quarter did not have much

April 1967

effect on personal income, which rose toan annual rate of $610 billion for anincrease of $11% billion (chart 2). Thisgain was only $1% billion below thefourth quarter advance and exceededthe average quarterly increase in 1966.Continuing gains in employment andhigher pay rates offset a sharp drop inaverage weekly hours and enabled wagesand salaries to rise $6% billion, as com-pared with an average $8K billion quar-terly gain last year. Most of the slow-down in payrolls that did occur was feltin manufacturing, where wages andsalaries showed only a very slight gainafter increasing $3 billion per quarterlast year. Transfer payments rose $3%billion, about the same as in the fourthquarter. Farm proprietors' income con-tinued to slip as farm prices again de-clined, while dividends increased some-what after decreasing in late 1966;other types of income continued to risein line with recent quarters.

Preliminary estimates of first quarterprofits will not be available until nextmonth. However, with current dollarGNP up only $5 billion, the incomedata that are available suggest thatmuch of the GNP slowdown in the firstquarter was at the expense of profits.

Almost all of the increase in personalincome in the first quarter was carriedinto disposable income since personaltaxes rose only $1% billion, much lessthan in any quarter last year. Thesmall increase in taxes reflected bothsmaller final settlements on 1966 lia-bilities—a result of the graduatedwithholding system initiated last May—and the somewhat slower increase inwages and salaries. Disposable incomerose $10% billion, or 2 percent, and withconsumer prices rising little, real dis-posable income increased 1% percent.The first quarter gain in currentdollar disposable income exceeded theaverage quarterly rise in 1966; interms of real disposable income, themargin of gain over 1966 was evensharper.

Consumer demand: strong except forautos

Personal consumption expenditurespicked up very briskly in the firstquarter with an advance of $8 billion,

April 1967 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

after a gain of only $4}£ billion in theprevious quarter. The large first quar-ter increase occurred despite a $2%billion decline in auto buying asconsumers raised their expenditureson nondurable goods by $5% billion,on services by $4 billion, and onnonauto durable goods by $% billion.

The increase in expenditures on non-durable goods in the first quarterseemed to represent a correction of themarked slowdown that occurred in thefourth. Why consumer spending onnondurables weakened in late 1966 isstill not clear; it may have been theresult of unusually bad weather, thescattered consumer boycotts at foodstores, or consumer resistance to highprices. In any case, consumers steppedup their purchases in all major cate-gories early this year, especially in foodand clothing.

Government purchases up

Government purchases of goods andservices advanced $7 billion in the firstquarter with increases of $4% billionin Federal purchases and $2% billionin State and local government purchases.

Continuing increases in deliveriesof military equipment and higher per-sonnel costs boosted national defenseoutlays by $3% billion. Defense spend-ing has risen now for 2 full years underthe influence of the war in Vietnam.During this period, from the firstquarter of 1965 to the quarter justended, defense purchases advancedfrom an annual rate of $48% billion to$68% billion, an increase of 43 percent.

Other Federal purchases rose $1%billion, mainly because of .an increasein agricultural purchases by the Com-modity Credit Corporation. This wasa turnaround from the previous quarter,when these outlays dropped by $%billion. The increase in State andlocal government purchases was thelargest on record and reflected an un-usually large increase in payrolls alongwith a further expansion in spendingfor schools.

Fixed investment little changed

At an annual rate of $81% billion,business fixed investment was un-changed in the first quarter. The

tapering in profits, the decrease incapacity utilization, and the suspensionof the investment tax credit all con-tributed to the leveling in businessspending.

With the easing in credit markets latelast year, housing starts reversed theirsharp decline of 1966 and brought abouta stabilization of residential construc-tion outlays in the first quarter of 1967.Housing starts increased about 40 per-cent from the low point in October 1966to March 1967, after seasonal ad-justment; this rise has not been fullyreflected in the expenditure figuresbecause of the time lag between startsand outlays. With the continued im-provement in credit conditions sincelast fall, prospects for further increasesin housing appear good.

March Developments

If the first quarter as a whole lookedsomewhat weak, the March indicatorsgave little evidence of a deterioratingsituation; on the contrary, some of theimportant statistics for March sug-gested otherwise. Perhaps the mostnoteworthy development was in retailtrade, which, according to advancereports, showed a substantial increasefrom February to March as a result ofwidespread gains by line of business.Moreover, industrial production rose alittle in March after 2 months of decline.The rise in employment was quite small,but weekly hours, which had fallensharply the month before, picked upslightly, and with wage rates higher,payrolls registered a larger increase thanthe small February advance. All told,in the closing month of the quarter, itappeared fairly likely that the sluggishpace of manufacturing activity was stilllimiting the rise in aggregate outputbut that total final sales were movingahead at a good clip.

During March and early April, theadministration and the monetary au-thorities took a number of actions of astimulative nature. Early in March,the President requested Congress torestore the investment tax credit andthe provisions for accelerated deprecia-

tion that had been revoked last fall aspart of the program to curb aggregatedemand. On April 6, the Federal Re-serve reduced the discount rate from4% to 4 percent. At about the sametime, the administration announced therelease of $1 billion in highway fundsthat had been held up last fall as ananti-inflation measure.

Personal income higher in MarchDespite the slowdown in production,

personal income has continued to moveahead at a fairly good pace. In March,total income rose $3.4 billion to reacha seasonally adjusted annual rate of$613 billion. The March increase waswell above the $2% billion gain inFebruary but somewhat less than theaverage monthly increase from 1965to 1966.

Wages and salaries, which had risenonly $% billion from January toFebruary, advanced $2.2 billion inMarch as manufacturing payrolls re-versed their dip and other payrollscontinued to rise. Property incomerose about in line with the gains inrecent months, but farm income con-tinued to slide as a result of lower farmprices. Transfer payments rose about$0.7 billion, about half as much as therevised February figure, which wasbolstered by the advance payment ofGI life insurance dividends. Thesedividends were still substantial inMarch but were below the Februaryrate.

Employment in nonfarin establish-ments in March showed little improve-ment over February as gains in servicesand government were largely offset byreductions in construction, manufac-turing, and trade. According to pre-liminary data, 23,000 persons wereadded to payrolls in March after an80,000 increase in February and anaverage monthly rise of 300,000 fromSeptember through January. Marchwas the second successive month ofdecline in manufacturing, but the reduc-tion was much smaller than the monthbefore (35,000 vs. 80,000 in February);moreover, hours of work improvedslightly over a wide range of industriesafter sizable decreases in February.

The somewhat drab performance ofemployment in February and March

has apparently had little effect onunemployment so far, mainly becausethere have been large withdrawalsfrom the labor force. The unemploy-ment rate in March was 3.6 percent,about the same as the average of 3.7percent in the preceding 3 months.Since early 1966, the rate has fluctuatedin the relatively narrow range of3.5-3.9 percent.

Industrial production up

Industrial production edged upwardin March after declining in the previous2 months. Both durable and non-durable goods industries showed smallgains. In durable goods, fairly sub-stantial increases in output of motorvehicles and parts, aircraft and equip-

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

ment, and instruments and relatedproducts offset small declines in otherindustries.

Although domestic passenger carsales in March were slightly above theFebruary level, auto production pickedup sharply from the relatively lowFebruary volume, which was held downin part by winter storms and a workstoppage. The increase in assemblies,after seasonal adjustment, amounted tonearly 15 percent. Present automobileproduction schedules call for about660,000 units in April and nearly 2.1million for the April-June period; theseprojections suggest a further sizablerise in output from March to April andfor the quarter as a whole, after seasonaladjustment.

have been comparatively stable in recentmonths, in contrast to the rising tend-ency in 1966. From the fourth quarterof 1966 to the first quarter of this year,the overall index of wholesale priceswas virtually unchanged and was some-what under its mid-1966 peak. Con-sumer prices rose only slightly thisJanuary and February after a strongand sustained advance throughout thefirst three quarters of last year and amodest advance in the final quarter.At wholesale, the recent stability of theoverall index reflects a downturn in theprices of farm commodities and foodsand an offsetting rise in the prices ofindustrial commodities. At retail, lower-prices for food and durable goods haveoffset a good part of the rise in theprices of other nondurables and services.

Industrial prices still rising

The index of wholesale industrialcommodity prices, which rose relatively

little from July through December of1966, increased more rapidly in the firstquarter of 1967. According to pre-liminary data, industrial prices rose 0.6percent from the fourth to the firstquarter. This was well above the 0.2percent rise in the fourth quarter andabout the same as the average quarterlyincrease in the first three quarters of1966.

The recent price increases in the in-dustrial sector probably reflect thedesire of producers to moderate anyreduction in profit margins due torising costs. Although manufacturingoutput fell about IK percent from thefourth to the first quarter, payrolls roseduring this period so that unit laborcosts were up considerably. Someweakness in the prices of industrialcrude materials has accompanied theslowdown in industrial activity, butthis has been more than offset by higherquotations on finished commodities.

trends—metal and chemicals—andthose that declined in the fourth quarterand either leveled out or advanced inthe first—hides and leather products,textiles and apparel, rubber, and lum-ber. For some groups—machinery andfurniture—price increases slowed downas compared with the fourth quarter.

For the quarter as a whole, the risein metals prices showed some acceler-ation as a result of higher quotationsfor finished steel products and primarycopper. On the average, the declinein metal scrap prices continued, and atthe end of the quarter, major fabricatorsannounced price cuts for a wide rangeof brass mill products.

Hide and skin prices, which droppedsharply in the second half of last yearas world supplies improved, easedfurther in early 1967, but footwearprices continued to advance and pricesof other leather products edged upslightly. There were also contrastingmovements between raw materials andfinished goods prices for other importantgroups of nondurable goods. For ex-ample, rubber prices rose substantiallyin the first quarter as a rise in prices oftires and tubes offset a decline in cruderubber. Apparel prices rose further inthe early months of 1967, approximatelyoffsetting price decreases for cottonand synthetic textiles.

The slower rise in spending for newplant and equipment has apparentlyeased the upward pressure on machineryprices. In the first quarter, machineryand equipment prices nearly stabilizedafter showing sizable gains throughoutlast year. Almost all components ofthe machinery price index have in-

creased less rapidly in early 1967.Household furniture prices were upfurther in the early months of 1967,but these increases were about offsetin the group index by declines inappliance and household electronicequipment prices.

Farm and food prices lower

The decline in wholesale prices offarm products, processed foods, andfeeds extended into March. Prices offarm products in the first quarter were1.5 percent below the fourth quarter1966 average, which in turn was nearly5 percent under the third quarter peak;wholesale food and feed prices haveshown somewhat smaller quarterly de-clines. Almost all components of theindexes have retreated from their earlierhighs, with the largest decreases inlivestock and grain prices. Meat andpoultry supplies have enlarged sub-stantially, and speculative buying ofgrains has subsided.

Dairy product prices have eased inrecent months as milk production hasincreased. Prices received by dairyfarmers for milk dropped more sharplyin the first quarter than the wholesaleand retail prices but were still con-siderably above the year-earlier level.

Consumer food prices, which did notrise as rapidly as wholesale food pricesin 1965 and 1966, edged off in last year'sfourth quarter and decreased further inJanuary and February. The 2% per-cent reduction in prices at grocerystores from the August peak throughFebruary was greater than the \% per-cent decline in the overall food index

because of an increase in the cost ofrestaurant meals. Meat prices weredown substantially, but prices for mostother types of retail foods were only alittle below their earlier highs. Citrusfruit prices, however, were sharplylower, reflecting the very large cropthis season.

Consumer price rise slows

Although the consumer price indexreached a record 114.8 percent of the1957-59 average in February, monthlyincreases have not exceeded 0.1 percentin any of the past 4 months. Divergenttrends have been evident in nonfoodcommodity prices in recent months.Prices of durable goods as a group haveeased as prices of new and used carshave declined, and the average prices ofhousehold durables have changed little.The deterioration in consumer demandfor durable goods has intensified pricecompetition, leading to widespread re-ductions in prices of television sets andto a cut in the list price of one series ofdomestically produced automobiles. Incontrast, prices of nondurables, espe-cially apparel, have risen.

Consumer service prices are stilladvancing at last year's acceleratedpace. Increases in medical serviceprices continue to be unusually large—an annual rate of almost 10 percent inthe first 2 months of 1967—while in-creases in the prices of householdservices have slowed only slightlydespite some easing of mortgage in-terest rates. Rents have been ad-vancing more rapidly as a result oflower vacancy rates and a rise in costs.

BY ROBERT E. GRAHAM, JR.

State Personal Income in 1966

1 ERSONAL INCOME rose in everyregion and in nearly every State in thefinal quarter of 1966, pushing thetotal for the full year to a record highin all States. For the country as awhole, the increase from 1965 to 1966was 8 percent; by State, the increasesranged from 2 to 13 percent.

Fourth quarter changes

The largest relative gains in incomefrom the third to the fourth quarter oflast year occurred in the Great Lakesand Plains regions, where the increasesamounted to more than 3 percent(see table A). With manufacturingpayrolls providing the major stimulusin the industrial Great Lakes area, allStates except Indiana scored gainsbetter than the national average;Illinois and Michigan achieved thelargest relative increases.

The income expansion in the PlainsStates reflected advances in agricultureas well as in manufacturing.. Sharpgains in manufacturing were the prin-cipal factor in Minnesota, Iowa, andMissouri; farm income added appre-ciably to the total income gain inIowa, and Federal military and civilianpayrolls contributed significantly inMissouri. In the other four PlainsStates, where increases in total incomewere somewhat smaller, advances infarm income played the principal role,aided by an increase in manufacturingin Kansas.

The substantial income rise in theRocky Mountain region centered in

Montana, Idaho, and Utah. In thefirst two States, the main impetus camefrom farm income, while in Utah, itcame from manufacturing; in all three-States, Federal civilian payrolls addedto the income flow. In Colorado,where income rose less than the regionalaverage, a dip in farm income and areduction in Federal civilian wagesapproximately matched the rise inmilitary payrolls.

There were substantial income gainsin Connecticut and the three northernNew England States, while Massachu-setts showed a small rise and RhodeIsland a slight decline. In Connecticut,all major sources contributed to theadvance, and in Maine, the rise centeredin manufacturing and agriculture. Inboth New Hampshire and Vermont,recreational activities pushed incomeup. Declines in factory payrolls werethe major factors in Massachusetts andRhode Island.

Income gains in the Southeast andSouthwest regions fell below the na-tional rate by small margins. In mostSoutheastern States, farm income andFederal civilian payrolls were off some-what in the final quarter of the year.

Manufacturing activity presented amixed picture: About half the Statesof the region scored increases, while theremainder rose at less-than-averagerates or showed absolute declines. Inthe Southwest, the lag reflected a sharpdecline in farm income; most nonfarmincome components were up.

Income growth in all States of theFar West fell behind the nationalgrowth rate. Manufacturing activitywas down throughout the region exceptin California, where a large increase infactory payrolls was nearly offset by adrop in construction payrolls. InWashington, Federal civilian and mili-tary payrolls also declined.

The smallest regional gain in theNation in the fourth quarter of 1966was in the Mideast, where only Dela-ware recorded an increase of above-average proportions. Although mostincome sources showed fourth quarteradvances, in nearly every instance theyw^ere small and were generally offset bydeclines in Federal civilian and con-struction payrolls.

Income Changes, 1965-66

During 1966, personal income in theNation moved ahead at a fairly con-sistent pace from quarter to quarter.A generally similar, though less con-sistent, pattern characterized regionalchanges. On an annual basis, regionalchanges from 1965 to 1966 were inline with long-term growth trendsmodified by the type of demand thatprevailed in 1966. As usual, develop-ments in some States reflected thevagaries of agricultural production.

The distinguishing features of thelong-term trend in regional incomehave been the above-average rates ofgrowth in the four southern and western

regions and the below-average rates inthe four northeastern and centralregions. The dominant short-term in-fluence shaping changes in the regionaldistribution of economic activity lastyear was the rapid expansion in defenserequirements. A $10-billion increasein defense spending affected the 1966income distribution through threemajor income components: Militarypayrolls, Federal civilian payrolls, andfactory payrolls in defense-orientedindustries. The percent changes inselected components from 1965 to 1966are shown in table 2.

The buildup in the Armed Forces andtheir movements within and from theUnited States made for large regionalchanges in military payrolls. For allStates combined, military pay roseone-fifth from 1965 to 1966. Changesvaried from declines in 10 States toincreases of more than one-third inothers. These wide variations in ratesof change, coupled with equally widevariations in the importance of militarypayrolls as an income source, had asubstantial influence on the Stateincome flow last year. Since Federalcivilian support is required at militaryinstallations within the United States,

civilian payrolls fluctuated with changesin military activity, although interstatevariations in Federal civilian payrollswere less than in military payrolls.

Military demand for supplies such asaircraft, ordnance, ground transporta-tion equipment, textiles, equipage, andfuel stimulated production in certainmanufacturing industries. In regionswhere such industries are concentrated,factory payrolls moved ahead rapidlyin 1966 and affected supporting indus-tries.

New England

Personal income in New England roseat a slightly better-than-average ratefrom 1965 to 1966, as comparativelylarge increases in Vermont, New Hamp-shire, and Connecticut more thanoffset income lags in the other threeStates.

As usual, the region's manufacturingindustry exercised a strong influence onthe area's economy in 1966. Account-ing directly for nearly one-third of totalincome in the region, earnings of personsengaged in manufacturing contributednearly two-thirds of the 1965-66 risein total income. In response to defensedemands, there were large gains inindustries producing electrical and non-

electrical machinery and ordnance.Most nondurable manufactures rose ata slower rate than durables, withtextiles and leather little changed from1965.

Last year, the largest relative gainsin New England manufacturing werein Vermont, where earnings of personsrose one-fifth, and in Connecticut,where they expanded one-seventh. Ineach instance, income from manufac-turing rose at twice the rate as incomefrom nonmanufacturing. Though rela-tive gains in manufacturing weresmaller in the other New EnglandStates, they were still substantial and,in every case, larger than the relativeincreases in nonmanufacturing income.

In New Hampshire, the expansionof trade outlets contributed to theState's economic gain while, in Ver-mont, winter recreation activity gavea special impetus to income growth;these developments are indicated bythe pickup in trade and service activi-ties in these two States. In Connect-icut, higher Federal government dis-bursements, particularly military andcivilian payrolls, provided an additionalboost to the income flow.

improvement in 1966, the resultingmultiplier effects might have beenexpected to lift the income rise in sup-porting industries—such as trade, serv-ices, and finance—to above-averagelevels. As table 2 shows, this was notthe case; instead, nonmanufacturingindustries in New England continuedtheir long-term downtrends.

Mideast

In the large and economically stableMideast, total income rose at a lowerrate than in the Nation, as most majorincome components expanded at abelow-average pace. The region is solarge economically—accounting foralmost one-fourth of all income in theNation—that it is difficult to isolateand measure at the regional level thedifferential effects of a particular oc-currence. Even major economic de-velopments that in most parts of theNation would make an obvious impacton the income flow are absorbed intothe economy of the Mideast with littleidentifiable effect.

However, some industrial develop-ments in 1966 had an impact on theeconomy of the Mideast, especiallywhen viewed at the State level. Ingeneral, government income disburse-ments gave more of a relative boost toMideast incomes than did other incomesources. Although Federal paymentsrose throughout the region, the majorthrust in most States and in the entireregion came from an increase in Stateand local government disbursements,which was larger than in any otherregion. Government income paymentswere an especially stimulating factor inthe District of Columbia, where a com-paratively small rise exerted consider-able leverage on income expansionbecause of the unusual importance ofGovernment as an income source.

Declines in farm income limited therise in total income in Delaware aridin Maryland as farm production ex-penses offset gains in cash receipts.Earnings of persons engaged in theregion's large financial sector—whichservices numerous activities for theentire Nation—increased at an above-average rate in most States and in theregion as a whole.

Only one State—Maryland—scoredan increase in total income that differedsignificantly from the regional average.The strong rise in Maryland, in linewith its long-term uptrend, reflectedprimarily gains in the many Federalactivities located in the State and theresulting increases in supporting in-dustries.

Great LakesIncome changes in the Great Lakes

region in 1966 were a shade belowaverage. Major income componentsexperienced almost the same relativerate of change in the region as in theNation; however, this regional uni-formity masked some differences amongthe individual States.

Income in Michigan rose at a less-than-average rate because of a lag inearnings of persons in manufacturing—the State's pace-setting industry. Asusual, developments in the automobileindustry were the major determinant ofchanges in manufacturing activity. Acutback in automobile production fromthe high level of 1965 was reflected in a,shorter workweek last year; however,because of small increases in totalemployment and hourly earnings, pay-rolls rose a little. This advance,coupled with increases in the fabricatedmetals and machinery industries(mainly the result of an increase ofnearly three-fourths in defense primecontracts), pushed total factory pay-rolls moderately ahead, though not somuch as in the Nation. Table 2 showsclearly the effect of the lag in manu-facturing on Michigan's supportingtrade and service industries.

Although Ohio's large manufacturingindustry kept pace with manufacturingincome in the Nation last year, mostother industries fell somewhat behindthe national rate, thereby limiting theoverall income increase. In Illinois andIndiana, increases in manufacturingactivity tended to compensate for smalllags in farming and government, whilethe opposite situation occurred inWisconsin. In each of the three Statesthe relative rise in total income wasclose to the national rate.

On balance, defense requirements hadonly a limited effect on the 1966 income

flow in the Great Lakes and were notstrong enough to offset the small long-term downtrend that characterizes theregion's relative position.

PlainsAgricultural developments had the

largest effect on the flow of total in-come in the Plains States last year.Farm income was up substantially inMinnesota, Iowa, South Dakota, andNebraska and down in North Dakota,Kansas, and Missouri.

Government disbursements to in-dividuals, one of the two major ex-pansionary forces last year, bolsteredthe income flow in the Plains States lessthan in the Nation. In most Statesof the region, Federal military andcivilian payrolls showed comparativelysmall advances, with the former de-clining in Nebraska and Kansas. Mis-souri was a notable exception, as largegains in Federal payrolls provided amajor stimulus to the overall incomeexpansion.

Among the region's private nonfarmindustries, income gains were aboutaverage, as sizable increases in manu-facturing were offset by less-than-average gains in other industries. In-come from private nonfarm sourcesrose significantly in Iowa and some-what less in Minnesota; however, itlagged considerably in the two Dakotas.

Manufacturing in Minnesota, Iowa,Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota,and Kansas received a major stimulusfrom defense demands in 1966, anddefense-generated factory employmentin each of these States rose by one-fourth to one-third or more. Thisboost to defense-oriented manufactur-ing activity was mainly responsiblefor the favorable experience of totalmanufacturing in all Plains Statesexcept South Dakota.

SoutheastThe Southeast scored the top-ranking

income gain in the Nation from 1965to 1966. This was a reflection of above-average advances in nearly all industries.With the heavy concentration of Fed-eral establishments in the region, thestepped-up tempo of military activitycontributed appreciably to the increasedflow of personal income.

NOTE.—Quarterly totals for the State personal income series will not agree with the personal income measure carried in the national income and product accounts since the latterincludes income dispersed to Government personnel stationed abroad. Quarterly totals for personal income in 1966 have been revised for a number of States.

nonfarm economy, every major indus-try showed a larger increase than inthe country as a whole. Only in agri-culture was the 1965-66 income experi-ence of the Southeast below average.Here, all States except North Carolina,Louisiana, and Arkansas recordeddeclines or less-than-average gains inincome.

All States of the Southeast exceptWest Virginia, Kentucky, and Alabamashared in the region's above-average1965-66 income rise. Particularly im-partant were the unusually largeincreases in Federal disbursements inseveral States—Kentucky, the twoCarolinas, Georgia, Mississippi, andLouisiana—where Federal civilianwages and salaries advanced 10 to 15percent and military payrolls roseone-fourth or more. These increases,large in absolute terms, assume evengreater importance when viewed inthe light of the relative importance ofFederal payrolls in the income structureof these States.

Also contributing heavily to theincome rise in 1966 were the unusuallylarge advances in factory payrolls inTennessee, the Carolinas, Florida,Mississippi, and Arkansas. An inspec-tion of the percentage increases in theright-hand section of table 2 revealsmany other instances of substantialincreases in the Southeastern States.

As was noted above, only in Alabamaand West Virginia did income lag in1966. In both States, a decline in farmincome and a sluggish performance inmanufacturing were responsible.

Southwest

Income in the Southwest rose at abetter-than-average pace. The region'smajor income-producing activitiestended to fluctuate around the nationalaverage, with gains outweighing lags bya small margin. Among the States,regional gains centered in Texas andArizona.

Manufacturing in the region ex-panded at an above-average rate asthe production of transportation equip-ment—mainly aircraft and relatedparts—rose one-fifth in response todefense demands. Arizona's increaseof nearly one-fourth was the largest inthe Nation. Only New Mexico failed

to share in the large rise in manufac-turing activity in 1966.

Federal income disbursements in theregion—mainly civilian and militarypayrolls—also rose at better-than-aver-age rates, although the rise was confined

to Oklahoma and Texas, with NewMexico and Arizona falling behind.

In contrast to the buoyancy of manu-facturing and government, the earningsof workers in mining lagged as oil well-drilling declined. In addition, farm

income rose less in the Southwest thannationally. As a result of these di-vergent developments in "export-base"industries, income in supporting indus-tries tended to expand at only slightlybetter-than-average rates.

by less-than-average proportions, andin Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, therise was about half the national rate.

The private nonfarm sector of theRocky Mountain area also experiencedthe smallest relative gain of any region,with construction activity showingalmost no change from 1965. Miningand manufacturing gave support to theeconomy of the region, but despite thecomparative buoyancy of these basicindustries, the secondary industries ofthe region rose little.

Far West

The income advance in the Far Westreflected larger-than-average increasesin Washington and California andbelow-average gains in Oregon andNevada.

Washington led all States in the rateof income expansion from 1965 to 1966,mainly because of a dramatic expansionin the State's aerospace industry, whichadded more than 30,000 new workerslast year. Smaller but significant gainsmarked the metals and machinerymanufacturing industries, which alsoexpanded as a result of rising defenserequirements. As a result of thisemployment advance, there was anupsurge of more than one-fifth inearnings of factory workers. The non-manufacturing economy of Washingtonresponded to this increase with above-average gains in all supporting indus-tries. Especially noteworthy was therise of one-fourth in earnings of con-struction workers as the demand forboth residential and nonresidential con-struction grew.

The resurgence of the aerospaceindustry was the key to the 12 percentadvance in manufacturing in California.Also bolstering that State's income flowlast year were large increases in Federalmilitary and civilian payrolls.

In contrast, earnings of constructionemployees in California showed littlechange from 1965, as a decline inresidential building, particularly inSouthern California, offset increasesin nonresidential construction. Mostother major California industries moved

Below-average increases character-ized most income components in bothOregon and Nevada. In the latterState, the relative lag was substantial

except in the service industry, whichaccounts for one-third of all Nevadaincome; a rise of about one-tenth inservices from 1965 to 1966 provided asignificant boost to the total incomeflow.

Trends in the Regional Distribution of Income

LONG-TEEM trends in the geographicdistribution of income have generallybeen measured by comparing changes inthe income distribution in years ofhigh cyclical activity. The last suchcomparison focused on the years 1957and 1962, the first year since 1957 thathad no major economic distortion.With the business expansion some 6years old, 1966 provides a much betterendpoint for trend measurement.

Table 5 shows the relative distribu-tion of total personal income and therelative level of per capita income byStates and regions in selected years.The following summary of trend de-velopments in the recent period up-dates the trend analyses that appearedin two special supplements to theSURVEY: Personal Income by StatesSince 1929, which covered the periodfrom 1929 through the early 1950's, andU.S. Income and Output, which coveredthe 1947-57 period.

The first of these studies establishedquite clearly that the regional incometrends operating between 1929 and theearly postwar years involved a shift ofincome away from the four northernand eastern regions toward the foursouthern and western regions. Thesecond study examined the period 1947to 1957 and found the same trends,although there were indications that therelative decline in New England mighthave terminated and that the relativeuptrend in the Southeast softened con-siderably. Moreover, a subsequentanalysis of the years 1957-62 seemed tocorroborate the termination of NewEngland's relative decline; the evidenceregarding the Southeast was less clearbut indicated that the slower growthfrom 1947 to 1957 was apparently dueto temporary factors.1

1 Edwin J. Coleman, "Regional Income Developments in1962," April 1963 SURVEY, pp. 6-13.

A comparison of the 1957 and 1966distributions of total income in table 5shows one of these indications to havebeen false and one true. Over thepast decade, New England's incomeshare has resumed its long-term de-clines. The relative decrease has beenat the same rate as the decline in theshares of the Mideast and Great Lakesregions—about 5 percent each. Con-versely, income in the Southeast, afterlittle more than matching the nationalgrowth rate in the decade ending in1957, has now resumed its rapid rateof growth.

However, the 1957-66 comparisonspoint out the possibility of two newmodifications of trend. The sharpincome uptrend that characterized in-come growth in the Southwest over thethree decades prior to 1957 has taperedoff, so that the regional rate now approxi-mates the national. The Rocky Moun-tain States, which had a strong uptrendin the early period and a minor advanceduring the postwar decade, has experi-enced a decline in its income sharesince 1957.

The tapering of the trend in theSouthwest appears to reflect develop-ments throughout most sectors of theregion's economy. The decline in theRocky Mountain States may well bethe result of the varying fortunes ofagriculture, which is a major incomesource in that region.

These apparent modifications intrend must be viewed with caution.In the past, an apparent change intrend has at times been only a reflec-tion of some new and temporary devel-opment, the effects of which soon dis-appeared. Although there have beennumerous temporary deviations fromtrend, it would be premature to con-clude at this time that any of the basicregional income trends have substan-

tially altered over the past threeand one-half decades.

Also, it should be noted that 1966was affected by special factors. Theexpansion in the Armed Forces, theincrease in defense production, and thetight monetary situation each had adifferential regional impact that mayhave caused a distortion in long-termtrend. Counterbalancing these con-siderations is the fact that the use of1965 instead of 1966 as an endpointfor trend measurement does not sig-nificantly change the picture presentedabove.

Per capita income changes

Trends in per capita income are lessclear than those in total income, al-though the general tendency for averageincome in the various regions to con-verge toward the national average isclearly evident. In the Mideast, GreatLakes, and Far West—regions whereaverage incomes are 10 to 15 percentabove the national figure—per capitaincomes have risen at a less-than-average rate, thereby bringing theregional figures closer to the national.In New England, the only other high-income area, per capita incomes haveheld comparatively steady over thepast decade at 10 percent above thenational average.

Of the four regions with incomebelow the national average, two haveimproved their position significantly,and two have lost ground. Per capitaincomes in the Southeast and PlainsStates have risen relative to the Nationsince 1957. On the other hand, aver-age incomes in the Southwest andRocky Mountain regions have fallenrelative to the Nation. As in thecase of changes in total income, therelative decline of per capita income inthe Rocky Mountain States appearsto be the result of the failure of farmincome to keep pace with the rest ofthe economy. In the Southwest, therelative decline appears to be morebroadly based.

A more definitive picture of trendsin per capita income can be made whenmore comprehensive data, particularlythose pertaining to migration, havebeen analyzed. Statistics of this kindare just now becoming available.

Revised Estimates oi GNP by Major Industries

LEVISED annual statistics pertain-ing to gross national product by in-dustry of origin, 1947-63, and estimatesfor 1964-65, which are given here forthe first time, appear in tables 1 through4 of this article. Table 1 containsestimates of industry gross product incurrent dollars, and table 2, in constant(1958) dollars. Table 3 shows indexesof constant dollar gross product (1958=100), and table 4, implicit price de-flators. Preliminary 1966 estimates ofgross product in constant dollars areshown in table A below. Tables 1-4include more industry detail for thetransportation, communication, and tradeindustries than the previously publishedseries.1

The revised industry data reflectthe statistical and definitional revisionsincorporated into the national accountsin mid-1965,2 changes in industry defi-nitions, information from more recentsources (including the 1958 Inter-industry Relations Study),3 and im-provements in estimating methods.The following discussion defines in-dustry gross product, compares thenew measures of production and priceswith the ones previously published, anddescribes the principal factors thatcontributed to revisions in the in-dustry totals.

contribution to the Nation's totaloutput of goods and services, as de-fined in the national income and productaccounts. An industry's gross productor value added may be measured as theamount by which the total value of itsoutput exceeds the cost of purchasedintermediate products (materials andbusiness services) used in production.The gross product is also equal to thesum of the industry's factor payments(employee compensation, profits, netinterest, etc.) and of its nonfactor costsof production (indirect business taxes,depreciation, etc.). Measured by eithermethod, the sum of the gross productsof all industries is equal to the Nation'soutput as measured by total GNP.

For the accompanying tables, thecurrent dollar measures of an indus-try's gross product are derived as thesum of its factor payments and itsnonfactor costs (table 1). The grossproduct of an industry derived in thisway is not directly convertible intoconstant dollars (real product) becausethe factor and nonfactor costs—em-ployee compensation, profits, deprecia-tion, etc.—cannot be expressed in

quantities and unit prices suitable forthis purpose. However, as was indi-cated in the October 1962 SURVEY,gross product can be adjusted indirectlyfor price changes by deflating outputand purchases separately, since boththe output and the purchases consistof goods and services that can beanalyzed into quantity and price.The difference between the two de-flated figures is gross product in constantdollars. This procedure, known as the"double deflation" method, underliesabout half of the estimates shown here,but when data on output and purchaseswere not available, estimates of realproduct were based on measures of thequantity of total output.4

For statistical reasons, the sum ofthe deflated industry gross productsmay differ slightly from the regularlypublished estimates of constant dollarGNP for the Nation. The amount ofthis difference, shown as the "residual"in table 2, arises from two sources: (1)the sum of factor and nonfactor chargesin current dollars differs from the cur-rent dollar GNP measured as the valueof sales to final markets and inventorychange by an amount that is called the"statistical discrepancy," and (2) theprice series and their weights used todeflate gross product by industry differfrom those used to deflate final prod-ucts. No attempt has been made toallocate these two sources of discrep-ancy to specific industries.

Effect of revisions

As the article in the August 1965SURVEY indicated, the revised GNP forthe total economy, measured in con-

(The last year forwhich data for the old industry serieswere calculated was 1963.) The up-ward revisions for contract construc-tion, manufacturing, communications,and trade are larger than the 0.2-pointspread in total GNP. However, thereal product series for transportation,services, and the electric, gas, and sani-tary service industries were reviseddownward. The growth rates for agri-culture, mining, and government wereraised only fractionally by the revisions,while the trend difference between thenew and the old series for the finance,insurance, and real estate industryapproximated that for the economy asa whole.

the revised and the earlier series forelectric, gas, and sanitary services,communication, and finance, insurance,and real estate are higher than theaverage, while the rates for mining,agriculture, and transportation arebelow the average. Both the new andthe old series show that service-typeindustries generally increased fasterthan the industries producing and dis-tributing goods.

Revisions in real gross product for anindustry resulted from changes in thecurrent dollar measures of gross productand/or in the deflators. Table B givessome notion of how the estimates ofreal product were affected, on the onehand, by revisions in current dollarsand, on the other, by revisions in theimplicit deflators.5 It shows, by indus-try, the 1947-63 average annual ratesof change in real output, in currentdollar output, and in the implicit de-flators for the new and the old series.For this period, revisions in deflatorswere more significant than revisionsin current dollars for contract con-struction, transportation, trade, andelectric, gas, and sanitary services.In contrast, revisions in real productfor manufacturing and communicationswere due primarily to revisions in thecurrent dollar series.

Revisions in current dollars

The August 1965 SURVEY describedthe nature and extent of the revisionsof the estimates of postwar GNP.For most industries except servicesand real estate, the definitional changesin the accounts had no .effect on thecurrent dollar totals or resulted in onlyminor changes in them. The totals forservices were reduced because interestpaid by consumers is no longer regardedas production; formerly, such paymentswere considered to be production by thehousehold industry, a component ofservices. The totals for the real estateindustry were raised because the cur-rent concepts provide for the capitaliza-tion of real estate commissions. This

NOTE.—Figures show the average annual compounded rateof change between the initial and terminal years of eachperiod.

resulted in higher profit-type incomefor this industry.

The statistical revisions in profit-type income and capital consumptionallowances in the national accountsstemmed largely from revisions in theestimates of rent on nonfarm structures.The totals for the real estate industrywere correspondingly increased.

In addition, current dollar estimatesof gross product by industry wereaffected by a number of other factors,the most important of which are notedbelow.

New industry classifications. Theformer industry series represented clas-sifications based on the 1945 edition ofthe Standard Industrial ClassificationManual (SIC) for manufacturing andon the 1942 edition for nonmanufactur-ing industries. The industry classifi-cation for the new series follows the1957 edition of the SIC manual. Themain effect of these changes on thegross product was to shift gross productfrom wholesale and retail trade tomanufacturing and services.

Company-establishment adjustment.New methods and data sources wereadopted to adjust the industry classi-fication of profits and capital consump-tion allowances from a company to anestablishment basis. For all industriesexcept petroleum refining and crudepetroleum and natural gas, the basicdata source used was the Census publi-cation Enterprise Statistics: 1958, Part3, Link oj Census Establishment andIRS Corporation Data. For petroleumrefining and the crude petroleum andnatural gas industries, it was necessaryto develop special procedures, whichdiffer substantially from those used forthe old series. As a result, the mostimportant revisions that are due to thecompany-establishment adjustment oc-cur in mining; revisions are relativelysmaller for manufacturing and havelittle or no effect on the totals for otherindustries.

Statistical discrepancy. In the for-mer current dollar industry series, thetotal gross product for each industry—except general government, rest of theworld, households and institutions, andfarms—was adjusted to include a pro-

portionate amount of the statisticaldiscrepancy.6 In the revised currentdollar series, the statistical discrepancyappears as a separate line item in table1 (as in the traditional income andproduct accounts) and is not proratedamong the industries.

Revisions in implicit deflators

A considerable amount of morerecent and/or more comprehensive datahas become available since the originalindustry series were prepared. Forexample, information from the 1958input-output study has been used inconjunction with the data derived fromthe 1947 interindustry study for select-ing and weighting price relatives todeflate goods and services purchasedby manufacturing industries. The Bu-reau of Labor Statistics has preparedspecial retabulations of the wholesaleprice indexes for the period since 1958consistent with the indexes providedfor earlier years. These data permitteda more precise deflation of manu-facturers' output and purchases for thisperiod than was previously possible.In addition, information from the 1958and the 1963 Censuses of Business wasused to develop more representativecomposite price indexes for deflatingsales by wholesalers and retailers.The use of these and other sources hasparticularly affected the deflators formanufacturing, contract construction,and trade.

6. This adjustment in the industry total was not distrib-uted among the gross product components.

*Less than $50 million.NOTE.—Employee compensation consists of wages, salaries, and supplements. Net in-

terest is net interest component of national income. Capital consumption allowances consistof depreciation and accidental damage to fixed business property. Indirect business taxesconsist of indirect business tax and nontax liability and business transfer payments. Profit-type income consists of corporate profits after inventory valuation adjustment, proprietors'income, rental income of persons, and surplus of government enterprises, less subsidies.

Capital consumption allowances and profits by industry differ somewhat from the hithertopublished figures because these two items have been reallocated by industry from a companyto an establishment basis.

Detail may not add to totals because of rounding.

New procedures were also used todevelop price indexes for the railroadand electric utilities industries. Inthese industries, the price per unitpaid by the user declines as the number

of units purchased increases—e.g., asdistance lengthens, the charge per miledeclines. The previously publishedmeasures of railroad and public utilityreal output gave equal weight to each

ton-mile or kilowatt-hour. The weightsfor the new measures are based uponthe appropriate 1958 rate schedules anddo not reflect changes in average unitvalues arising from changes in quanti-

ties purchased. Thus, with the length-ening of the average haul or with thepurchase of more kilowatt-hours ofelectricity per household or business,the new series show larger price in-creases and smaller increases in realproduct than the superseded series.

Methods for measuring price changeswere also modified for contract con-struction and for finance and insurance.

Manufacturing output: OBE vs.FRB

Annual estimates of real productoriginating in manufacturing industrieshave been compared with the outputmeasures for these industries currentlypublished by the Federal EeserveBoard. Although the two series differstatistically and conceptually, the broadpattern of manufacturing output re-flected by them has been similar duringthe postwar period. As summarized intable C, both the OBE and the FEEindexes exhibit a sharp rate of increasefrom 1947 to 1953, a slower rate ofgain until 1960, and rapid gains since1960. However, for the period 1953-60, the FEB index for manufacturingincreased more rapidly than the grossproduct index.

The FEB indexes for an industry arebased on measures of total output (be-fore deduction of intermediate pur-chases) ; these are aggregated by usingas weights Census value added for abase period. In calculating OBE'smeasures of real product, intermediatepurchases in constant prices are de-ducted from total output for each yearin constant prices. Trends in totaloutput will not be the same as trendsin real product if the material require-ments per unit of output vary over time.Such variations may occur for any num-ber of reasons, including changes intechnology, in the degree of integrationof production processes, or in the prod-uct mix of the industry's output (e.g.,shifts from products with low valueadded to high value added per unit ofoutput).

There are also other differencesbetween the two measures. The cur-rently published FEB indexes arecombined with weights that embody1957 price relationships for post-1952data and 1947 price relationships forthe years 1947-52, while the OBEindexes use 1958 prices throughout.FEB weights are based on Censusvalue added, while OBE weights aregross product originating. The FEB

uses both physical quantity data anddeflated value of output data for itsannual indexes from 1947 through themid-1950's. Since then, the indexesare based partly on physical quantitydata and partly on man-hours adjustedfor estimated productivity change. TheOBE relies primarily on the deflationof data pertaining to the value ofoutput and purchases.

Differences in weights assigned tothe component industries account foronly a portion of the disparities formost years in the FEB and OBEmeasures of real manufacturing output.The disparities are related primarilyto different movements in total andnet output and to the different sets ofstatistics that the two agencies use.A review of the relationship of thetwo manufacturing series, includingdiscussions at a detailed industry levelwithin manufacturing, will appear in"Comparison of Federal Eeserve andOBE Measures of Eeal ManufacturingOutput, 1947-1964"; this will be pub-lished in a book containing paperspresented at the December 1966 meet-ing of the Conference on Eesearch inIncome and Wealth, sponsored by theNational Bureau of Economic Ee-search.

used and is not comparable with earlier periods. The new composite price is based on AISInet shipments of carbon steel and is the average price of all finished carbon steel products(except rails and wire products) weighted by tonnage. Prices used are base prices at Pitts-burgh; the average includes an additional 25% for "extra" charges but does not include freight.
