These estimates reflect newly available fourth-quarter wage and salary tabulations from the quarterly census of employment and wages from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Wages and salaries Private wage and salary disbursements increased $50.4 billion in April, compared with an increase of $27.3 billion in March. Goods-producing industries' payrolls increased $7.6 billion, compared with an increase of $3.4 billion; manufacturing payrolls increased $5.2 billion, compared with an increase of $2.2 billion. Services-producing industries' payrolls increased $42.6 billion, compared with an increase of $24.0 billion. Government wage and salary disbursements increased $1.5 billion in April, the same increase as in March. Other personal income Supplements to wages and salaries increased $8.2 billion in April, compared with an increase of $9.6 billion in March. Proprietors' income increased $1.6 billion in April, compared with an increase of $6.1 billion in March. Farm proprietors' income decreased $0.6 billion, compared with a decrease of $2.3 billion. Nonfarm proprietors' income increased $2.3 billion, compared with an increase of $8.3 billion. Rental income of persons decreased $7.1 billion in April, compared with a decrease of $3.8 billion in March. Personal income receipts of assets (personal interest income plus personal dividend income) increased $10.2 billion, compared with an increase of $2.6 billion. Personal current transfer receipts increased $0.1 billion, compared with an increase of $8.6 billion. Contributions for government social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income -- increased $6.9 billion in April, after increasing $3.6 billion in March. Personal current taxes and disposable personal income Personal current taxes increased $21.4 billion in April, compared with an increase of $11.0 billion in March. Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal current taxes -- increased $36.6 billion, or 0.4 percent, in April, compared with an increase of $37.2 billion, or 0.4 percent, in March. Personal outlays and personal saving Personal outlays -- PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments increased $55.1 billion in April, compared with an increase of $48.7 billion in March. PCE increased $55.0 billion, compared with an increase of $46.4 billion. Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was a negative $146.8 billion in April, compared with a negative $128.2 billion in March. Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income was a negative 1.6 percent in April, compared with a negative 1.4 percent in March. 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 -- decreased 0.1 percent in April, in contrast to an increase of less than 0.1 percent in March. Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.1 percent in April, the same increase as in March. Purchases of durable goods increased 0.3 percent in April, compared with an increase of 0.5 percent in March. Purchases of nondurable goods increased 0.2 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 0.3 percent. Purchases of services increased 0.1 percent, compared with an increase of 0.3 percent. Revisions Estimates for personal income and DPI have been revised for October through March; estimates for PCE have been revised for January through March. Changes in personal income, current-dollar and chained (2000) dollar DPI, and current-dollar and chained (2000) dollar PCE for February and March are shown below. For October through December, the revisions to wages and salaries reflected the incorporation of newly available BLS tabulations of fourth-quarter private wages and salaries from the census of employment and wages.
