 The January change in personal income was affected by several special factors.  The January
change was boosted by cost-of-living adjustments to several federal transfer payment programs, by
changes in the earned income credit program, and by pay raises for federal civilian and military
personnel.  The January change was reduced by annual adjustments to personal contributions for
social insurance and by lump-sum social security benefit payments that had boosted December
personal income.  Excluding these special factors, personal income increased $17.2 billion, or
0.2 percent, in January, after increasing $25.6 billion, or 0.3 percent, in December.  These
special factors are discussed more fully below.



Wages and salaries

 Private wage and salary disbursements decreased $0.8 billion in January, in contrast to an
increase of $9.9 billion in December.  Goods-producing industries' payrolls increased $0.1 billion,
compared with an increase of $2.3 billion; manufacturing payrolls increased $0.2 billion, compared
with an increase of $0.5 billion.  Distributive industries' payrolls decreased $7.2 billion, in contrast
to an increase of $1.9 billion.  Service industries' payrolls increased $6.2 billion, compared with an
increase of $5.7 billion.

 Government wage and salary disbursements increased $8.2 billion in January, compared with
an increase of $1.9 billion in December.  Pay raises for federal civilian and military personnel added
$5.4 billion to government payrolls in January.


Other personal income

 Proprietors' income increased $8.1 billion in January, compared with an increase of $4.3 billion
in December.  Farm proprietors' income increased $1.8 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $1.6
billion.  Nonfarm proprietors' income increased $6.4 billion, compared with an increase of $5.8
billion.

 Transfer payments increased $6.2 billion in January, compared with an increase of $11.8 billion
in December.  The January change in transfer payments reflected 1.4-percent cost-of-living
adjustments to social security benefits and to several other federal transfer payment programs and
changes in the earned income credit program; together, these changes added $11.0 billion to the
January increase.  The January change in transfer payments was reduced by lump-sum social
security benefits payments, which had added $6.0 billion to December transfer payments; these
benefit payments resulted from a recalculation of the earnings base underlying the benefits for recent
retirees.

 Personal interest income decreased $1.6 billion in January, compared with a decrease of $0.3
billion in December.  Personal dividend income increased $2.6 billion, compared with an increase of
$2.2 billion.  Rental income of persons increased $0.8 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $1.8
billion.

 Personal contributions for social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income --
increased $3.2 billion in January, compared with an increase of $0.9 billion in December.  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 was unchanged in January; personal tax and nontax
payments increased $2.0 billion in December.  Indexation provisions of current tax law reduced
federal income tax payments by $5.2 billion in January.

 Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal tax and nontax payments --
increased $24.1 billion, or 0.3 percent, in January, compared with an increase of $29.6 billion, or 0.4
percent, in December.


Personal outlays and personal saving

 Personal outlays -- PCE, interest paid by persons, and personal transfer payments to the rest of
the world (net) -- decreased $9.1 billion in January, in contrast to an increase of $70.9 billion in
December.  PCE decreased $8.7 billion, in contrast to an increase of $73.1 billion.

 Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was $342.0 billion in January, compared with
$308.8 billion in December.  Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income was 4.3
percent in January, compared with 3.9 percent in December.


Real DPI and real PCE

 Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.2 percent in January,
compared with an increase of 0.3 percent in December.

 Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- decreased 0.3 percent in January, in
contrast to an increase of 0.9 percent in December.  Purchases of durable goods decreased 5.4
percent, in contrast to an increase of 7.2 percent.  Purchases of motor vehicles and parts accounted
for most of the January decrease and most of the December increase.  Purchases of nondurable
goods increased 1.0 percent in January, compared with an increase of 0.5 percent in December.
Purchases of services increased 0.2 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 0.1 percent.
