Notes and Sources
Conventions used in this publication:

1. Shaded areas indicate recessions, as determined by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
2. Percent change refers to simple percent changes. Percent change from year ago refers to the percent change from the
same month or quarter during the previous year. Compounded annual rate of change shows what the growth rate would
be over an entire year if the same simple percent change continued for four quarters or twelve months. The compounded
annual rate of change of x between the previous quarter t 1 and the current quarter t is: [(xt /x t 1 )4 1] 100.
For monthly data replace 4 with 12.
3. All data with significant seasonal patterns are adjusted accordingly, unless labeled NSA.
4. This issue incorporates revised estimates of national income and product accounts data that were released by the
Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) in the comprehensive revision on July 31, 2013. Besides the availability of new
and revised source data, the reference year for chain-type price indexes and chained-dollar estimates was changed from
2005 to 2009. The BEA will not release the full history all at once. For more information, see
http://www.bea.gov/national/an1.htm#2013comprehensive.

Notes
Pages 4, 5: Final Sales is gross domestic product (GDP) minus change in
private inventories. Advance, Second, and Third GDP Growth Rates are
released during the first, second, and third months of the following quarter.
Changes result from incorporation of more complete information. Real GDP
is measured in 2009 dollars. The ISM (formerly Purchasing Managers) Index
is a weighted average of diffusion indexes for new orders, production, supplier
deliveries, inventories, and employment. Aggregate and Average Weekly
Hours are paid hours of production and nonsupervisory employees. The
Inventory-Sales Ratio uses nominal (current-dollar) inventory and sales data.
Page 6: For information on how to calculate the Contribution of a component
to the overall GDP growth rate, see the October 1999 issue of the Survey of
Current Business, p. 16. The sign is changed for Imports.
Page 7: Ten-year Treasury Yields are adjusted to constant maturity; threemonth yields are secondary market averages. All rates used in the yield curves
are adjusted to constant maturity. Standard and Poors 500 Index with
Reinvested Dividends shows the total return: capital gains plus dividends.
Pages 8, 9: Oil (West Texas intermediate) and Natural Gas (Henry Hub) spot
and futures prices are listed in the Wall Street Journal. Spot prices are monthly
averages of daily prices; futures prices are usually taken from the last trading
day of the month. Consumer Price Index is for all urban consumers. The
Consumption Chain Price Index is the index associated with the personal
consumption expenditures component of GDP. The Employment Cost Index
(ECI) covers private nonfarm employers. ECI Compensation refers to a fixed
sample of jobs, while Compensation per Hour covers all workers in the
nonfarm business sector in a given quarter. In both cases, compensation is
wages and salaries plus benefits.
Pages 10, 11: Effective with the January 2008 Employment Situation, the
establishment survey data for employment, hours, and earnings have been
converted from the 2002 NAICS system to the 2007 NAICS system. For
more information see http://www.bls.gov/ces/. Nonfarm Payroll
Employment is counted in a survey of about 400,000 establishments
(Current Employment Statistics). It excludes self-employed individuals and
workers in private households, but double-counts individuals with more than
one job. The Household Survey (Current Population Survey) of about
60,000 households provides estimates of civilian employment, unemployment
rate, labor force participation rate, and employment-population ratio.
Population is civilian, noninstitutional, 16 years and over. The 90 percent
confidence intervals for the unemployment rate ( 0.2 percentage points) and
change in household survey employment ( 430,000) measure uncertainty
due to sample size. Because the household survey was changed in January
1994, data prior to this date are not strictly comparable. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics announced several revisions to the Household Survey on Feb. 7,
2003, with the release of the January 2003 data. For more information, see
<www.bls.gov/cps/>. The Job Openings rate is the number of job openings
on the last business day of the month as a percent of total employment plus
job openings.

summary measure of consumers answers to five questions about their current
and expected financial situation, expectations about future economic conditions,
and attitudes about making large purchases. The survey is based on a representative sample of U.S. households.
government investment and include consumption of government capital, while

unified budget outlays do the reverse; (3) NIPA accounts exclude Puerto Rico
and U.S. territories; and (4) various timing issues are handled differently.
Outlays and Receipts are from the NIPAs, except as noted. Since 1977, the
federal Fiscal Year starts on October 1. Excluded agency debt was 0.6 percent
of federal debt at the end of fiscal 1997. Federal Debt Held by the Public
includes holdings of the Federal Reserve System and excludes holdings of the
social security and other federal trust funds. Federal grants in aid to state and
local governments appear in both state and local receipts and federal outlays.
Pages 18, 19: The Trade Balance (shown on a balance of payments basis) is
the difference between exports and imports of goods (merchandise) and services.
It is nearly identical in concept to the Net Exports component of GDP, but differs slightly in accounting details. The Investment Income Balance equals
income received from U.S.-owned assets in other countries minus income
paid on foreign-owned assets in the U.S. The investment income balance is
nearly identical in concept to the difference between gross national product
and gross domestic product, but differs in accounting details. The Current
Account Balance is the trade balance plus the balance on investment income
plus net unilateral transfers to the U.S. from other countries.
Pages 20, 21: Output per Hour (Y/H), Unit Labor Cost (C/Y), and
Compensation per Hour (C/H) are indexes which approximately obey the
following relationship: %(Y/H) + %(C/Y) = %(C/H) with %() meaning percent
changes. Unit labor cost is shown on page 9. Real Compensation per Hour
uses the CPI to adjust for the effects of inflation. Nonfarm business accounted
for about 77 percent of the value of GDP in 2000, while nonfinancial corporations accounted for about 54 percent. Inventory Valuation Adjustments (IVA)
remove the effect of changes in the value of existing inventories from corporate profits and proprietors income. (This change in value does not correspond
to current production and therefore is not part of GDP). Capital Consumption
Adjustments (CCAdj) increase profits and proprietors income by the difference between estimates of economic depreciation and depreciation allowed
by the tax code. Components of national income not shown are rental
income of persons and net interest.
Pages 22, 23: The economic projections of the Federal Open Market
Committee (FOMC) are published four times a year. Except for the unemployment rate, the projections for the current and following years are on a Q4/Q4
horizon. The shaded area represents the range of the economic projections of
the FOMC members, and the dot signifies the mid-point of the ranges. The
projections of the changes in the total PCE price index and the core PCE
price index (excluding food and energy prices) are presumed to converge over
time.

wage accruals less disbursements. Gross Government Saving is net government saving (surplus/deficit) plus consumption of fixed capital. Balance on
