James E. Rankin: (202) 606-5301 (Personal Income) BEA 06-03 Michael Armah: (202) 606-5302 (Personal Outlays) PERSONAL INCOME AND OUTLAYS: DECEMBER 2005 Personal income increased $41.1 billion, or 0.4 percent, and disposable personal income (DPI) increased $35.5 billion, or 0.4 percent, in December, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) increased $80.2 billion, or 0.9 percent. In November, personal income increased $44.6 billion, or 0.4 percent, DPI increased $39.0 billion, or 0.4 percent, and PCE increased $48.6 billion, or 0.5 percent, based on revised estimates. 2005 Aug.

Goods-producing industries' payrolls increased $1.8 billion, compared with an increase of $1.2 billion; manufacturing payrolls increased $0.5 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $1.0 billion. Services-producing industries' payrolls increased $12.9 billion, compared with an increase of $14.7 billion. Government wage and salary disbursements increased $1.7 billion, compared with an increase of $1.8 billion. Other personal income Supplements to wages and salaries increased $3.6 billion in December, compared with an increase of $4.0 billion in November. Proprietors' income increased $1.1 billion in December, compared with an increase of $5.6 billion in November. Farm proprietors' income increased $0.3 billion, the same increase as in November. Nonfarm proprietors' income increased $0.8 billion, compared with an increase of $5.3 billion. Rental income of persons decreased $3.5 billion in December, in contrast to an increase of $3.6 billion in November. Personal income receipts on assets (personal interest income plus personal dividend income) increased $16.7 billion, the same increase as in November. Personal current transfer receipts increased $8.3 billion in December, in contrast to a decrease of $1.0 billion in November. The December increase in personal current transfer receipts reflected retroactive social security benefit payments of $6.5 billion at an annual rate, resulting 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 $1.5 billion in December, compared with an increase of $1.9 billion in November. Personal current taxes and disposable personal income Personal current taxes increased $5.4 billion in December, compared with an increase of $5.7 billion in November. Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal current taxes -- increased $35.5 billion, or 0.4 percent, in December, compared with an increase of $39.0 billion, or 0.4 percent, in November. Personal outlays and personal saving Personal outlays -- PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments increased $81.3 billion in December, compared with an increase of $49.8 billion in November. PCE increased $80.2 billion, compared with an increase of $48.6 billion. Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was a negative $67.4 billion in December, compared with a negative $21.6 billion in November. Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income was a negative 0.7 percent in December, compared with a negative 0.2 percent in November. 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 0.4 percent in December, compared with an increase of 0.8 percent in November. Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.9 percent in December, the same increase as in November. Purchases of durable goods increased 5.0 percent, compared with an increase of 3.7 percent. Purchases of motor vehicles and parts accounted for most of the increases in December and in November. Purchases of nondurable goods increased 0.4 percent in December, compared with an increase of 0.9 percent in November. Purchases of services increased 0.4 percent, the same increase as in November. 2005 Personal Income and Outlays Personal income increased 5.4 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 4.2 percent, compared with an increase of 6.1 percent. PCE increased 6.5 percent, the same increase as in 2004. Real DPI increased 1.4 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.
