  This news release also presents revised estimates of wages and salaries, personal taxes, and
contributions for social insurance for October through December 2002 (fourth quarter).


Wages and salaries

 Private wage and salary disbursements increased $6.9 billion in May, in contrast to a decrease
of $2.7 billion in April.  Goods-producing industries' payrolls increased $3.1 billion, in contrast to a
decrease of $2.6 billion; manufacturing payrolls increased $0.4 billion, in contrast to a decrease of
$4.4 billion.  Distributive industries' payrolls increased $1.9 billion, compared with an increase of
$0.2 billion.  Service industries' payrolls increased $2.0 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $0.4
billion.  Government wage and salary disbursements increased $0.7 billion, compared with an
increase of $2.7 billion.


Other personal income

 Proprietors' income increased $7.6 billion in May, compared with an increase of $8.8 billion in
April.  Farm proprietors' income increased $1.2 billion, compared with an increase of $0.6 billion.
Nonfarm proprietors' income increased $6.4 billion, compared with an increase of $8.3 billion.

 Transfer payments increased $10.5 billion in May, compared with an increase of $5.7 billion in
April.  Personal interest income increased $4.2 billion in May, the same increase as in April.
Personal dividend income increased $2.7 billion in May, the same increase as in April.  Rental
income of persons decreased $6.9 billion in May, compared with a decrease of $5.7 billion in April.

 Personal contributions for social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income --
increased $0.7 billion in May, compared with an increase of $0.1 billion in April.


Personal taxes and disposable personal income

 Personal tax and nontax payments increased $4.7 billion in May, compared with an increase of
$2.4 billion in April.  Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal tax and
nontax payments -- increased $22.5 billion, or 0.3 percent, in May, compared with an increase of
15.0 billion, or 0.2 percent, in April.


Personal outlays and personal saving

 Personal outlays -- PCE, interest paid by persons, and personal transfer payments to the rest of
the world (net) -- increased $10.6 billion in May, compared with an increase of $9.8 billion in April.
PCE increased $11.0 billion, compared with an increase of $10.3 billion.

 Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was $283.4 billion in May, compared with
$271.5 billion in April.  Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income was 3.5
percent in May, compared with 3.4 percent in April.


Real DPI and real PCE

 Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.4 percent in May, the same
increase as in April.  In each month, the larger increase in real DPI than in current-dollar DPI
reflected a decrease in the PCE implicit price deflator, which is used to deflate DPI.  The decreases
in the PCE implicit price deflator were mostly accounted for by large decreases in energy prices.

 Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.3 percent in May, the same
increase as in April.  Purchases of durable goods decreased 0.1 percent in May, in contrast to an
increase of 3.0 percent in April.  Purchases of motor vehicles and parts more than accounted for the
May decrease and accounted for most of the April increase.   Purchases of nondurable goods
increased 0.5 percent in May, in contrast to a decrease of 0.5 percent in April.  Purchases of services
increased 0.2 percent in May, the same increase as in April.


Revisions

 Estimates for personal income and DPI have been revised for October 2002 through April
2003; estimates for PCE have been revised for January through April 2003.  Changes in personal
income, current-dollar and chained (1996) dollar DPI, and current-dollar and chained (1996) dollar
PCE for March and April -- revised and as published in last month's release -- are shown below.

    For October through December 2002, the revisions to wages and salaries reflected the
incorporation of the most recently available BLS tabulations of private wages and salaries from the
state unemployment insurance program.  Revisions to personal taxes and to contributions for social
insurance reflected the revisions to wages and salaries.

       The Bureau of Economic Analysis plans to release the results of its 12th comprehensive (or
benchmark) revision of the national income and product accounts (NIPA's) on December 10, 2003.
The annual revision of the NIPA's that would normally take place this summer will instead be
combined with the upcoming comprehensive revision.  An article in the June 2003 issue of the
Survey of Current Business discusses the changes in definitions and concepts that will be
implemented in the revision.  Future articles will discuss changes in presentation and in statistical
methods.



Next release -- Personal Income and Outlays for June will be released on
                   August 1, 2003, at 8:30 A.M. EDT.
