       This news release also presents revised estimates of wages and salaries, personal taxes, and
contributions for government social insurance for January through March 2004 (first quarter).  These
estimates reflect newly available first-quarter wage and salary tabulations of employees covered by
state unemployment insurance from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.


Wages and salaries

 Private wage and salary disbursements increased $19.8 billion in July, in contrast to a decrease
of $2.4 billion in June.  Goods-producing industries' payrolls increased $4.9 billion, in contrast to a
decrease of $0.1 billion; manufacturing payrolls increased $4.2 billion, in contrast to a decrease of
$0.4 billion.  Services-producing industries' payrolls increased $14.8 billion, in contrast to a
decrease of $2.4 billion.  Government wage and salary disbursements increased $1.6 billion,
compared with an increase of $1.2 billion.


Other personal income

 Supplements to wages and salaries increased $4.7 billion in July, compared with an increase of
$5.5 billion in June.

 Proprietors' income decreased $5.0 billion in July, in contrast to an increase of $7.7 billion in
June.  Farm proprietors' income decreased $5.4 billion, in contrast to an increase of $0.5 billion.

 Rental income of persons decreased $1.0 billion in July, in contrast to an increase of $0.1
billion in June.  Personal income receipts on assets (personal interest income plus personal dividend
income) increased $4.8 billion, compared with an increase of $6.9 billion.  Personal current transfer
receipts decreased $10.9 billion, in contrast to an increase of $3.1 billion.  The July decrease in
transfer receipts largely reflected a reduction in the federal matching rate for Medicaid
reimbursements, which had been boosted temporarily by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief
Reconciliation Act of 2003.

increased $2.9 billion in July, in contrast to a decrease of $0.1 billion in June.


Personal current taxes and disposable personal income

 Personal current taxes increased $3.1 billion in July, compared with an increase of $2.3 billion
in June.  Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal current taxes --
increased $7.9 billion, or 0.1 percent, in July, compared with an increase of $19.9 billion, or 0.2
percent, in June.


Personal outlays and personal saving

 Personal outlays -- PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments
increased $66.6 billion in July, in contrast to a decrease of $11.5 billion in June.  PCE increased
$65.6 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $15.3 billion.

 Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was $51.6 billion in July, compared with $110.3
billion in June.  Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income was 0.6 percent in
July, compared with 1.3 percent in June.


Real DPI and real PCE

 Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.1 percent in July, in contrast to
a decrease of less than 0.1 percent in June.
                                  
 Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.8 percent in July, in contrast
to a decrease of 0.4 percent in June.  Purchases of durable goods increased 4.5 percent, in contrast to
a decrease of 3.1 percent.  Purchases of motor vehicles and parts accounted for most of the July
increase and accounted for the June decrease.  Purchases of nondurable goods increased 0.6 percent
in July, in contrast to a decrease of 0.2 percent in June.  Purchases of services increased 0.2 percent
in July; purchases of services was unchanged in June.
