Prefatory Note
The attached document represents the most complete and accurate version
available based on original copies culled from the files of the FOMC Secretariat at the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. This electronic document was
created through a comprehensive digitization process which included identifying the bestpreserved paper copies, scanning those copies, 1 and then making the scanned versions
text-searchable. 2 Though a stringent quality assurance process was employed, some
imperfections may remain.
Please note that this document may contain occasional gaps in the text. These
gaps are the result of a redaction process that removed information obtained on a
confidential basis. All redacted passages are exempt from disclosure under applicable
provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.
1
In some cases, original copies needed to be photocopied before being scanned into electronic format. All
scanned images were deskewed (to remove the effects of printer- and scanner-introduced tilting) and lightly
cleaned (to remove dark spots caused by staple holes, hole punches, and other blemishes caused after initial
printing).
2
A two-step process was used. An advanced optimal character recognition computer program (OCR) first
created electronic text from the document image. Where the OCR results were inconclusive, staff checked
and corrected the text as necessary. Please note that the numbers and text in charts and tables were not
reliably recognized by the OCR process and were not checked or corrected by staff.

SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES
THE DOMESTIC NONFINANCIAL ECONOMY
Personal income
Total personal income rose at a $12-3/4 billion annual rate in August,
a bit faster than the average advance during the first seven months of the
year.
According to the Commerce Department, recent estimates of personal
income have been influenced by three special factors: a large increase in
retroactive social security benefit payments in July, changes in subsidy
payments to farmers in July and August, and smaller wage and salary
disbursements in June owing to the strike at AT&T.
Excluding these special
factors, personal income increased $16 billion in August and $6.9 billion
in July.
During August, wages and salaries rose at a $12-1/4 billion
annual rate, fueled by the gains in employment, hours, and wages reported
in the establishment survey earlier this month.
Elsewhere, farm income
rose $2.7 billion owing to some additional "advance deficiency payments"
made to farmers, while transfer payments declined $4.4 billion reflecting
the absence of the retroactive social security payments made in July.
Personal consumption spending surged $31.3 billion in August, a 13.6
percent annual rate of increase.
The advance largely reflected strong
outlays for durable goods associated with the elevated pace of new car
sales last month, while spending on both nondurables and services was rather
sluggish.
The increase in consumption outstripped the rise in income, and
the personal saving rate dropped nearly 1 percentage point to 3.1 percent.
