This news release presents revised estimates of wages and salaries, personal taxes, and contributions
for government social insurance for July through September 2005 (third quarter). These estimates reflect
newly available third-quarter wage and salary tabulations from the quarterly census of employment and
wages from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The January change in personal income was boosted by several special factors. New
Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Medicare Plan D) payments and cost-of-living adjustments to
several federal transfer payment programs boosted current personal transfer receipts; pay raises
for federal civilian and military personnel boosted government wage and salary disbursements.
The January change was reduced by annual adjustments to personal contributions for government
social insurance and by lump-sum social security benefit payments that had boosted December
personal income. Excluding these special factors, personal income increased $37.6 billion, or 0.4
percent, in January, after increasing $48.3 billion, or 0.5 percent, in December. These special
factors are discussed more fully below.
Compensation of employees
Private wage and salary disbursements increased $34.2 billion in January, compared with an
increase of $24.2 billion in December. Goods-producing industries' payrolls increased $5.2
billion, compared with an increase of $3.7 billion; manufacturing payrolls increased $1.3 billion,
compared with an increase of $0.9 billion. Services-producing industries' payrolls increased
$29.0 billion, compared with an increase of $20.5 billion.
Government wage and salary disbursements increased $6.6 billion in January, compared with
an increase of $1.5 billion in December. Pay raises for civilian and military personnel added $5.4
billion to government payrolls in January.
Employer contributions for employee pension and insurance funds increased $9.6 billion in
January, compared with an increase of $3.4 billion in December.
Employer contributions for government social insurance increased $7.0 billion in January,
compared with an increase of $1.4 billion in December. The January increase reflected an
increase in the tax rate paid by employers to state unemployment insurance funds and an increase
in the social security taxable wage base (from $90,000 to $94,200); together, these changes added
$4.2 billion in January. (Changes in employer contributions for government social insurance do
not affect personal income, because employer contributions for government social insurance are
also included in total contributions for government social insurance, which is a subtraction in the
calculation of personal income.)
Other personal income
Proprietors' income increased $2.7 billion in January, compared with an increase of $5.1
billion in December. Farm proprietors' income decreased $3.2 billion, in contrast to an increase
of $2.0 billion. Nonfarm proprietors' income increased $5.9 billion, compared with an increase
of $3.1 billion.
Rental income of persons decreased $2.7 billion in January, compared with a decrease of
$3.0 billion in December. Personal income receipts on assets (personal interest income plus
personal dividend income) increased $7.6 billion, compared with an increase of $16.7 billion.
Personal current transfer receipts increased $27.9 billion in January, compared with an
increase of $8.7 billion in December. The January change in current transfer receipts reflected
payments for the new Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Medicare Part D) and 4.1-percent cost-
of-living adjustments to social security benefits and to several other federal transfer payment
programs; together, these changes added $49.7 billion to the January increase. The January change
in current transfer receipts was reduced by lump-sum social security benefits payments, which had
added $6.5 billion to December benefit payments; these benefit payments resulted from a
recalculation of the earnings base underlying the benefits for recent retirees.
Contributions for government social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income
-- increased $17.6 billion in January, compared with an increase of $3.0 billion in December. The
January increase reflected increases in both employer and personal contributions for government
social insurance. As noted above, employer contributions were boosted $4.2 billion in January by
increases in unemployment-insurance rates and in the social security taxable wage base. The
January increase in personal contributions for government social insurance reflected an increase
in the monthly premium paid by participants in the supplementary medical insurance program
(Medicare B) and the increase in the social security taxable wage base; together, these changes
added $6.8 billion to January personal contributions.
Personal current taxes and disposable personal income
Personal current taxes increased $25.0 billion in January, compared with an increase of $7.2
billion in December. Indexation provisions of current tax law reduced federal withheld income
taxes by $4.1 billion in January. Federal net nonwithheld income taxes (payments of estimated
taxes plus final settlements less refunds) boosted the January increase by $5.6 billion, based on
federal budget projections for 2006.
Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal current taxes --
increased $50.2 billion, or 0.5 percent, in January, compared with an increase of $47.6 billion, or
0.5 percent, in December.
Personal outlays and personal saving
Personal outlays -- PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments
increased $77.9 billion in January, compared with an increase of $65.6 billion in December. PCE
increased $76.7 billion, compared with an increase of $64.2 billion.
Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was a negative $63.3 billion in January,
compared with a negative $35.7 billion in December. Personal saving as a percentage of
disposable personal income was a negative 0.7 percent in January, compared with a negative 0.4
percent in December. Negative personal saving reflects personal outlays that exceed disposable
personal income. Saving from current income may be near zero or negative when outlays are
financed by borrowing (including borrowing financed through credit cards or home equity loans),
by selling investments or other assets, or by using savings from previous periods. For more
information, see the FAQs on "Personal Saving" on BEA's Web site.
Real DPI and real PCE
Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.1 percent in January,
compared with an increase of 0.5 percent in December. In January, the smaller increase in real
DPI than in current-dollar DPI reflected an increase in the PCE implicit price deflator, which is
used to deflate DPI. The PCE price deflator increased 0.5 percent in January; following no change
in December; most of the January increase was accounted for by increases in food and energy
prices.
Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.4 percent in January,
compared with an increase of 0.7 percent in December. Purchases of durable goods increased 1.3
percent, compared with an increase of 4.1 percent. Purchases of motor vehicles and parts
decelerated sharply in January. Purchases of nondurable goods increased 1.3 percent, compared
with an increase of 0.4 percent. Purchases of services decreased 0.3 percent, in contrast to an
increase of 0.3 percent.
2005 Personal Income and Outlays
Personal income increased 5.5 percent in 2005 (that is, from the 2004 annual level to the
2005 annual level), compared with an increase of 5.9 percent in 2004. DPI increased 4.3 percent,
compared with an increase of 6.1 percent. PCE increased 6.5 percent, the same increase as in
2004.
Real DPI increased 1.5 percent in 2005, compared with an increase of 3.4 percent in 2004.
Real PCE increased 3.6 percent, compared with an increase of 3.9 percent.
Revisions
Estimates have been revised for July through December. Changes in personal income,
current-dollar and chained (2000) dollar DPI, and current-dollar and chained (2000) dollar PCE
for November and December -- revised and as published in last month's release -- are shown
below.
For July through December, the revisions to wages and salaries reflected the incorporation of
the most recently available BLS tabulations of third-quarter private wages and salaries from the
quarterly census of employment and wages. Wages and salaries were revised up for all six months.
Revisions to personal current taxes and to contributions for government social insurance reflected
the revisions to wages and salaries.
