The increase in personal income in June primarily reflected increases in private wages and salaries
and nonfarm proprietors’ income that were partly offset by decreases in personal dividend income
and personal interest income.

The increase in real PCE in June primarily reflected increases in spending for electricity and gas,
healthcare services, and other nondurable goods, that were partly offset by a decrease in spending
for new motor vehicles.

Personal outlays increased $58.3 billion in June. Personal saving was $732.0 billion in June and
the personal saving rate, personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income, was 5.3 percent.

                                Revisions

Revisions to the personal income and outlays estimates reflect the results of the recent annual update
of the national income and product accounts (NIPAs). These updates, usually made each July, incorporate
newly available and more comprehensive source data, as well as improved estimation methodologies. This
year’s update covers the period January 2013 through May 2016.

Revisions to annual estimates of personal income and outlays for 2013 through 2015 are shown in Table 12.
Revised and previously published monthly estimates of personal income, DPI, PCE, personal saving as a
percentage of DPI, real DPI, and real PCE are shown in Table 13. Revised and previously published annual
and quarterly estimates are shown in Table 14.

Personal income was revised upward $5.3 billion, or less than 0.1 percent, for 2013, $115.5 billion,
or 0.8 percent, for 2014, and $107.8 billion, or 0.7 percent, for 2015.

* For 2013, revisions to personal income and its components were small.

* For 2014, upward revisions to personal dividend income, government social benefits to persons, and
  supplements to wages and salaries were partly offset by downward revisions to farm proprietors’ income
  and rental income of persons.

* For 2015, upward revisions to personal dividend income, wages and salaries, personal current transfer
  receipts, nonfarm proprietors’ income, and supplements to wages and salaries were partly offset by
  downward revisions to farm proprietors’ income and personal interest income.

DPI was revised upward $0.2 billion, or less than 0.1 percent, for 2013, $108.8 billion, or 0.8 percent,
for 2014, and $116.6 billion, or 0.9 percent, for 2015. The percent change from the preceding year in real
DPI was the same as previously published in 2013, decreasing 1.4 percent. It was revised upward from an
increase of 2.7 percent to an increase of 3.5 percent in 2014, and was the same as previously published
in 2015, increasing 3.5 percent.

Personal outlays was revised downward $30.0 billion, or 0.3 percent, for 2013. It was revised upward $3.0 billion,
or less than 0.1 percent, for 2014, and $18.7 billion, or 0.1 percent, for 2015. Revisions to personal outlays
primarily reflected revisions to PCE.

The personal saving rate was revised upward 0.2 percentage point from 4.8 percent to 5.0 percent in 2013,
0.8 percentage point from 4.8 percent to 5.6 percent in 2014, and 0.7 percentage point from 5.1 percent
to 5.8 percent in 2015.

                QCEW Data Included in the First Quarter of 2016

special efforts by the Bureau of Labor Statistics with the assistance of state employment offices in providing
preliminary data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW).
