                PERSONAL INCOME AND OUTLAYS:  JUNE 2000

                    REVISED ESTIMATES:1997-MAY 2000



 Personal income increased $32.8 billion, or 0.4 percent, and disposable personal income (DPI)

increased $20.8 billion, or 0.3 percent, in June, according to the Commerce Department's Bureau of

Economic Analysis.  Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) increased $32.5 billion, or 0.5

percent.  In May, personal income increased $27.1 billion, or 0.3 percent, DPI increased $22.2

billion, or 0.3 percent, and PCE increased $18.7 billion, or 0.3 percent, based on revised estimates.





                                                                   2000

  The estimates released today reflect revisions in the national income and product accounts

beginning with the January 1997.  Revisions are usually made each July to incorporate source data that

are more complete, more detailed, and otherwise more appropriate than previously available.  This

release includes revised monthly personal income, disposable personal income, and outlays and

provides an overview of the effects of the revision.  The August 2000 Survey of Current Business will

contain national income and product accounts tables and an article describing the revisions.  The revised

estimates will be available from BEA's Web site and from STAT-USA's Web site (see page 6).





Wages and salaries



 Private wage and salary disbursements increased $27.0 billion in June, in contrast to a decrease

of $1.3 billion in May.  Goods-producing industries' payrolls increased $5.9 billion, in contrast to a

decrease of $6.9 billion; manufacturing payrolls increased $4.8 billion, in contrast to a decrease of

$4.8 billion.  Distributive industries' payrolls increased $8.7 billion, compared with an increase of

$1.7 billion.  Service industries' payrolls increased $12.4 billion, compared with an increase of $3.9

billion.



 Government wage and salary disbursements decreased $1.3 billion in June, in contrast to an

increase of $6.0 billion in May.  The decline in the number of temporary workers for Census 2000

subtracted $2.7 billion at an annual rate from federal civilian payrolls in June; the hiring of

additional temporary workers had added $5.2 billion at an annual rate in May.





Other personal income



 Proprietors' income increased $12.8 billion in June, in contrast to a decrease of $3.1 billion in

May.  Farm proprietors' income increased $6.9 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $5.3 billion.  The

changes in farm proprietors' income reflected the pattern of specially authorized federal farm

subsidy payments, which were $5.4 billion at an annual rate in June, $0.5 billion at an annual rate in

May, and $7.5 billion at an annual rate in April.  Nonfarm proprietors' income increased $6.0 billion

in June, compared with an increase of $2.2 billion in May.



 Transfer payments decreased $8.9 billion in June, in contrast to an increase of $23.3 billion in

May.  The May increase had included benefit payments of $19.2 billion at an annual rate, resulting

from new legislation under the Senior Citizens' Freedom to Work Act of 2000 that eliminated the

"retirement earnings test" and allowed social security beneficiaries aged 65 and older to receive full

benefits regardless of their earnings.  Prior to enactment, these beneficiaries had their benefits

reduced by $1 for every $3 earned over the annual earning limit, which is $17,000 for calendar year

2000.



 Personal interest income increased $2.0 billion in June, compared with an increase of $2.6

billion in May.  Personal dividend income increased $2.4 billion, compared with an increase of $1.8

billion.  Rental income of persons decreased $1.4 billion, compared with a decrease of $4.0 billion.



 Personal contributions for social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income --

increased $1.8 billion in June, compared with an increase of $0.4 billion in May.





Personal taxes and disposable personal income



 Personal tax and nontax payments increased $12.0 billion in June, compared with an increase

of $4.9 billion in May.  Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal tax and

nontax payments -- increased $20.8 billion, or 0.3 percent, in June, compared with an increase of

$22.2 billion, or 0.3 percent, in May.





Personal outlays and personal saving



 Personal outlays -- PCE, interest paid by persons, and personal transfer payments to the rest of

the world (net) -- increased $33.8 billion in June, compared with an increase of $20.1 billion in May.

PCE increased $32.5 billion, compared with an increase of $18.7 billion.



 Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was $8.2 billion in June, compared with $21.2

billion in May.  Saving from current income may be near zero or negative when outlays are financed

by borrowing -- including through credit cards or home equity loans -- selling investments or other

assets, or by using savings from previous periods.  Personal saving as a percentage of disposable

personal income was 0.1 percent in June, compared with 0.3 percent in May.





Real DPI and real PCE



 Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- increased less than 0.1 percent in June,

compared with an increase of 0.3 percent in May.  The smaller growth in real DPI than in current-

dollar DPI is attributable to the acceleration in the PCE implicit price deflator (IPD) that is used to

deflate DPI; the IPD increased 0.3 percent in June, compared with an increase of less than 0.1

percent in May.



 Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.2 percent in June, compared

with an increase of 0.3 percent in May.  Purchases of durable goods increased 0.9 percent, in

contrast to a decrease of 0.8 percent.  Purchases of motor vehicles and parts accounted for most of

the June increase and more than accounted for the May decrease.  Purchases of nondurable goods

decreased 0.1 percent in June, in contrast to an increase of 0.6 percent in May.  Purchases of services

increased 0.2 percent, compared with an increase of 0.3 percent.





Table changes



 This release includes two table changes.  Table 4 now presents chain-type price indexes for

PCE instead of implicit price deflators.  In addition, table 4 now includes an addendum that

presents the chain-type price index for PCE excluding food and energy.





Annual Revision of the National Income and Product Account Estimates



   As a result of the annual revision to the national income and product accounts (NIPA's),

personal income, personal outlays, disposable personal income (DPI), personal saving, and personal

saving as a percentage of DPI are revised beginning with January 1997.  The NIPA's usually are

revised each July to incorporate new source data that are more complete, more detailed, and

otherwise more appropriate than data previously available.



 The revised estimates incorporate a new data source for employer contributions to group health

insurance, which accounts for about one-half of other labor income.  The revised estimates are based

on the medical expenditure panel survey (MEPS) -- a new Department of Health and Human

Services survey that covers both health insurance purchased by employers for their employees and

health insurance provided by employers on a self-insurance basis.



 Revisions to the estimates of personal income and outlays for 1997 forward are shown in table

6.  Revised and previously published estimates of personal income, DPI, PCE, and personal saving

as a percentage of DPI are shown in table 7.  Revised and previously published estimates of real

DPI, real PCE, and the PCE implicit price deflator are shown in table 8.



 Personal income was revised down $14.1 billion for 1997, revised up $32.1 billion for 1998,

and revised down $2.2 billion for 1999.  For 1997, a downward revision to other labor income more

than offset upward revisions to personal interest income and to proprietors' income.  For 1998,

upward revisions to personal interest income, to proprietors' income, to wage and salary

disbursements, and to personal dividend income more than offset downward revisions to other labor

income and to rental income of persons.  For 1999, downward revisions to other labor income, to

rental income of persons, to wage and salary disbursements, and to transfer payments to persons

more than offset upward revisions to personal interest income, to personal dividend income, and to

proprietors' income; an upward revision to personal contributions for social insurance -- a

subtraction in calculating personal income -- also contributed to the downward revision.



 Personal tax and nontax payments was revised up $0.5 billion for 1997, revised down $1.7

billion for 1998, and revised down $0.1 billion for 1999.  DPI was revised down $14.6 billion for

1997, revised up $33.8 billion for 1998, and revised down $2.0 billion for 1999.  The percent change

from the preceding year in real DPI was revised down from 3.3 percent to 3.1 percent for 1997,

revised up from 4.1 percent to 4.8 percent for 1998, and revised down from 4.0 percent to 3.2

percent for 1999.



 Personal outlays was revised up $3.6 billion for 1997, revised down $1.9 billion for 1998, and

revised up $6.8 billion for 1999.  For 1997, the revision was more than accounted for by PCE.  For

1998, the revision reflected a downward revision to interest paid by persons that more than offset an

upward revision to PCE.  For 1999, the revision reflected upward revisions to PCE and to personal

transfer payments to the rest of the world (net) that more than offset a downward revision to interest

paid by persons.



 Personal saving as a percentage of DPI was revised down from 4.5 percent to 4.2 percent for

1997, revised up from 3.7 percent to 4.2 percent for 1998, and revised down from 2.4 percent to 2.2

percent for 1999.
