  As announced previously, this release includes revised estimates of wage and salary disbursements
and related income-side series for January through July and the first two quarters of 2002.  The revisions
for January through March and the first quarter reflect the incorporation of newly available tabulations
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics of wages and salaries of employees covered by state unemployment
insurance for the first quarter.  (The incorporation of these new source data affect the estimates for
January through August and the first and second quarters.)  This change will reduce annual revisions to
wages and salaries and thus provide more timely and reliable information to data users.  The series in this
release that are revised include:  personal income, private wage and salary disbursements (including
goods-producing, manufacturing, distributive, and services), personal contributions for social insurance,
personal tax and nontax payments, disposable personal income (DPI), personal saving, real DPI, per
capita DPI, per capita real DPI, and personal saving as a percentage of DPI.


Wages and salaries

 Private wage and salary disbursements increased $20.3 billion in August, in contrast to a
decrease of $16.4 billion in July.  Goods-producing industries' payrolls increased $3.6 billion, in
contrast to a decrease of $6.2 billion; manufacturing payrolls increased $0.5 billion, in contrast to a
decrease of $5.3 billion.  Distributive industries' payrolls increased $3.9 billion, in contrast to a
decrease of $6.2 billion.  Service industries' payrolls increased $12.9 billion, in contrast to a
decrease of $4.0 billion.  Government wage and salary disbursements increased $3.4 billion,
compared with an increase of $2.2 billion.

billion.

 Transfer payments increased $7.6 billion in August, compared with an increase of $6.2 billion
in July.  Personal interest income decreased $0.9 billion in August, the same decrease as in July.
Personal dividend income increased $2.3 billion in August, the same increase as in July.  Rental
income of persons decreased $10.0 billion in August, compared with a decrease of $5.9 billion in
July.

 Personal contributions for social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income --
increased $1.6 billion in August, in contrast to a decrease of $0.7 billion in July.


Personal taxes and disposable personal income

 Personal tax and nontax payments decreased $1.4 billion in August, compared with a decrease
of $10.3 billion in July.  Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal tax and
nontax payments -- increased $34.4 billion, or 0.4 percent, in August, compared with an increase of
$12.8 billion, or 0.2 percent, in July.


Personal outlays and personal saving

 Personal outlays -- PCE, interest paid by persons, and personal transfer payments to the rest of
the world (net) -- increased $24.8 billion in August, compared with an increase of $75.7 billion in
July.  PCE increased $23.7 billion, compared with an increase of $74.5 billion.

 Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was $282.3 billion in August, compared with
$272.8 billion in July.  Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income was 3.6
percent in August, compared with 3.5 percent in July.



Real DPI and real PCE

 Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.2 percent in August, compared
with an increase of less than 0.1 percent in July.

 Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.1 percent in August,
compared with an increase of 0.9 percent in July.  Purchases of durable goods increased 1.5 percent,
compared with an increase of 5.4 percent.  Purchases of motor vehicles and parts accounted for
almost half of the August increase and accounted for most of the July increase.  Purchases of
nondurable goods decreased less than 0.1 percent in August, in contrast to an increase of 0.2 percent
in July.  Purchases of services decreased 0.1 percent, in contrast to an increase of 0.3 percent.


Revisions

 Estimates for personal income and DPI have been revised for January through July; estimates
for PCE have been revised for April through July.  Changes in personal income, current-dollar and
chained (1996) dollar DPI, and current-dollar and chained (1996) dollar PCE for June and July --
revised and as published in last month's release -- are shown below.  Revisions for January through
May were small.

   is the average of estimates for the first of the month and the first of the
   following month; the annual estimate is the average of the monthly estimates.
   Estimates for January 1991 through June 2000 are interpolations between
   Bureau of Census population estimates for 1990 and for 2000; estimates for
   July 2000 forward are BEA extrapolations.  BEA will substitute monthly Bureau
   of Census population estimates for 1991 forward when they are released.
