                                Wages and salaries

        Private wage and salary disbursements increased $38.3 billion in March, compared with an
increase of $25.3 billion in February and an increase of $66.3 billion in January. The January change
in private wages and salaries reflected an adjustment of $50.0 billion (at an annual rate) for
unusually large bonus payments and the exercise of stock options, based on data from state
governments and from other sources.  These types of irregular payments are not accounted for in the
primary monthly source data for wages and salaries.  (The March and February changes to private
wages and salaries were not affected because the $50 billion adjustment was made to each month of
the first quarter.)  Goods-producing industries' payrolls increased $11.5 billion in March, compared
with an increase of $1.5 billion in February; manufacturing payrolls increased $5.7 billion,
compared with an increase of $1.4 billion.  Services-producing industries' payrolls increased $26.8
billion, compared with an increase of $23.7 billion  Government wage and salary disbursements
increased $3.2 billion, compared with an increase of $4.4 billion.

                                Other personal income

        Supplements to wages and salaries increased $5.2 billion in March, compared with an increase
of $4.4 billion in February.

        Proprietors' income increased $2.5 billion in March, compared with an increase of $11.2 billion
in February.  Farm proprietors' income increased $3.4 billion, the same increase as in February.
Nonfarm proprietors' income decreased $0.9 billion in March, in contrast to an increase of $7.8
billion in February.

        Rental income of persons increased $2.2 billion in March, compared with an increase of $1.5
billion in February.  Personal income receipts on assets (personal interest income plus personal
dividend income) increased $19.8 billion, compared with an increase of $18.9 billion.

        Personal current transfer receipts increased $14.4 billion in March, compared with an increase
of $13.7 billion in February.

        Contributions for government social insurance -- a subtraction in calculating personal income --
increased $5.7 billion in March, compared with an increase of $4.4 billion in February.

                                Personal current taxes and disposable personal income

        Personal current taxes increased $14.4 billion in March, compared with an increase of $12.5
billion in February.  Disposable personal income (DPI) -- personal income less personal current
taxes -- increased $65.5 billion, or 0.7 percent, in March, compared with an increase of $62.3 billion,
or 0.6 percent, in February.

                                Personal outlays and personal saving

        Personal outlays -- PCE, personal interest payments, and personal current transfer payments --
increased $25.9 billion in March, compared with an increase of $70.9 billion in February.  PCE
increased $24.4 billion, compared with an increase of $69.2 billion.

        Personal saving -- DPI less personal outlays -- was a negative $79.3 billion in March, compared
with a negative $118.8 billion in February.  Personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal
income was a negative 0.8 percent in March, compared with a negative 1.2 percent in February.
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.  For a comparison of personal saving in BEA's national
income and product accounts with personal saving in the Federal Reserve Board's flow of funds
accounts and data on changes in net worth (which help finance consumption), go to

                                Real DPI and real PCE

        Real DPI -- DPI adjusted to remove price changes -- increased 0.2 percent in March, the same
increase as in February.

        Real PCE -- PCE adjusted to remove price changes -- decreased 0.2 percent in March, in
contrast to an increase of 0.3 percent in February.  Purchases of durable goods increased 0.1 percent,
in contrast to a decrease of 0.4 percent.  Purchases of nondurable goods decreased 0.1 percent,
compared with a decrease of less than 0.1 percent.  Purchases of services decreased 0.3 percent, in
contrast to an increase of 0.6 percent.

        PCE prices -- The price index for PCE increased 0.4 percent in March, the same increase as in
February.  Prices, excluding food and energy, increased less than 0.1 percent, compared with an
increase of 0.3 percent.
