       This news release also presents revised estimates of wages and salaries, personal taxes, and
contributions for social insurance for July through September (third quarter).


Wages and salaries

 Private wage and salary disbursements increased $8.4 billion in February, compared with an
increase of $10.1 billion in January.  Goods-producing industries' payrolls decreased $2.1 billion, in
contrast to an increase of $2.7 billion; manufacturing payrolls increased $0.1 billion, compared with
an increase of $1.7 billion.  Distributive industries' payrolls decreased $0.2 billion, compared with a
decrease of $0.1 billion.  Service industries' payrolls increased $10.9 billion, compared with an
increase of $7.4 billion.

 Government wage and salary disbursements increased $6.5 billion in February, compared with an
increase of $8.3 billion in January.  A pay raise for federal civilian personnel added $1.3 billion to the
change in government payrolls in February; pay raises for federal and military personnel added $5.4
billion to government payrolls in January.


Other personal income

 Proprietors' income increased $2.9 billion in February, compared with an increase of $7.3 billion
in January.  Farm proprietors' income increased $2.7 billion, compared with an increase of $1.7
billion.  Nonfarm proprietors' income increased $0.2 billion, compared with an increase of $5.6
billion.

 Transfer payments increased $6.1 billion in February, compared with an increase of $7.6 billion
in January.  Personal interest income decreased $2.4 billion, compared with a decrease of $2.5 billion.
Personal dividend income increased $2.6 billion, the same increase as in January.  Rental income of
persons decreased $1.2 billion in February, compared with a decrease of $1.1 billion in January.

 Personal contributions for social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income --
increased $0.3 billion in February, compared with an increase of $3.9 billion in January.  The January
increase reflected an increase in the social security taxable wage base for employees and the self-
employed (from $84,900 to $87,000) and an increase in the monthly premium paid by participants in
the supplementary medical insurance program (Medicare B), which together added $3.5 billion to
January personal contributions.


Personal taxes and disposable personal income

 Personal tax and nontax payments increased $6.0 billion in February, compared with an increase
of $2.6 billion in January.  The January change reflected indexation provisions of current tax law,
which reduced federal income tax payments by $5.2 billion.  Disposable personal income (DPI) --
personal income less personal tax and nontax payments -- increased $18.8 billion, or 0.2 percent, in
February, compared with an increase of $29.8 billion, or 0.4 percent, in January.


Personal outlays and personal saving

 Personal outlays -- PCE, interest paid by persons, and personal transfer payments to the rest of
the world (net) -- increased $2.3 billion in February, in contrast to a decrease of $2.6 billion in
January.  PCE increased $1.5 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $3.5 billion.

 Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was $317.5 billion in February, compared with
$301.0 billion in January.  Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income was 4.0
percent in February, compared with 3.8 percent in January.


Real DPI and real PCE

 Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- decreased 0.2 percent in February, in
contrast to an increase of 0.2 percent in January.

 Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- decreased 0.4 percent in February,
compared with a decrease of 0.2 percent in January.  Purchases of durable goods decreased 1.9
percent, compared with a decrease of 4.6 percent.  Purchases of motor vehicles and parts accounted
for most of the decreases in February and in January.  Purchases of nondurable goods decreased 1.1
percent in February, in contrast to an increase of 1.0 percent in January.  Purchases of services
increased 0.2 percent, compared with an increase of 0.1 percent.


Revisions

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

 For July through September, the revisions to wages and salaries reflect 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.
