Producer Price Indexes – January 2009
The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods rose 0.8 percent in January, seasonally adjusted, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. This increase followed declines of
1.9 percent in December and 2.5 percent in November. At the earlier stages of processing, the decrease in
prices for intermediate materials slowed to 0.7 percent from 4.2 percent in the prior month, and the index for
crude materials declined 2.9 percent after dropping 5.3 percent in December. (See table A.)
The upturn in the index for finished goods was led by the index for energy goods, which increased 3.7
percent after falling 9.1 percent in December. Price declines for finished consumer foods slowed to 0.4 percent
in January from 1.4 percent in the preceding month. The index for finished goods less foods and energy
increased 0.4 percent following a 0.2-percent rise a month earlier.
Before seasonal adjustment, the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods increased 0.9 percent in
January to 170.3 (1982 = 100). From January 2008 to January 2009, the index for finished goods moved down
1.0 percent. Over the same period, prices for finished energy goods fell 18.4 percent. By contrast, partially
offsetting the decrease in finished goods prices, the index for finished goods less foods and energy rose 4.2
percent and prices for finished consumer foods increased 1.8 percent. For the 12 months ended January 2009,
the index for intermediate goods decreased 3.5 percent and prices for crude goods dropped 29.1 percent.

decrease in December. Prices for synthetic rubber also fell more than they had in the previous month. The
index for knit gray fabrics rose less than a month earlier.
The intermediate foods and feeds index moved down 2.2 percent following a 3.3-percent decline in
December. In January, falling prices for natural cheese (except cottage cheese), beef and veal, processed cheese
and related products, fats and oils, processed eggs, bulk fluid milk and cream, and pork outweighed rising prices
for processed young chickens.

January, and the index for prepared paint rose less than in the preceding month.
Crude goods
The Producer Price Index for Crude Materials for Further Processing fell 2.9 percent in January
following a 5.3-percent decline in December. In January, lower prices for crude energy materials outweighed
higher prices for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs and for crude nonfood materials less energy. (See table B.)

Net output price indexes
Mining, Utilities, and Manufacturing Industries. The Producer Price Index for the Net Output of Total
Mining, Utilities, and Manufacturing Industries inched up 0.1 percent in January following a 2.8-percent
decrease in December. (Net output price indexes are not seasonally adjusted.) Most of this upturn can be
traced to prices received by petroleum refineries, which advanced 8.1 percent in January after falling 26.4
percent in the prior month. The industry indexes for poultry processing and farm-feed manufacturing also
increased following December declines. Prices received by petrochemical manufacturers decreased less in
January than they had a month earlier, and the industry index for soft drink manufacturing climbed more than in
December. By contrast, partially offsetting the upturn in the index for total mining, utilities, and manufacturing
industries, prices received by cheese manufacturers fell 14.8 percent in January after rising 2.4 percent in the
preceding month. The indexes for livestock slaughtering and for electric power generation, transmission, and
distribution decreased more than they had in December. Prices received by pharmaceutical preparation
manufacturers rose less than in the preceding month. In January, the index for total mining, utilities, and
manufacturing industries was 105.2 (December 2006 = 100), 1.9 percent below its year-ago level.
Trade Industries. The Producer Price Index for the Net Output of Total Trade Industries declined 0.3 percent
in January following a 0.5-percent advance in the preceding month. (Trade indexes measure changes in
margins received by wholesalers and retailers.) Leading this downturn, margins received by merchant
wholesalers of nondurable goods fell 2.3 percent after rising 4.6 percent in December. The margin indexes for
department stores, gasoline stations with convenience stores, and fuel dealers also decreased following
increases in the prior month. Conversely, margins received by gasoline stations without convenience stores
jumped 10.3 percent following a 21.0-percent decrease in the prior month. The margin indexes for home
centers, electronic shopping and mail-order houses, supermarkets, and new car dealers also turned up in January
after falling in December. Margins received by merchant wholesalers of durable goods rose more than they had
in the previous month. In January, the index for total trade industries was 110.8 (December 2006 = 100), 5.3
percent above its year-ago level.
Transportation and Warehousing Industries. The Producer Price Index for the Net Output of Total
Transportation and Warehousing Industries declined 0.8 percent in January following a 2.8-percent drop in
December. Prices received by the air transportation industry group edged down 0.1 percent in January after
falling 4.2 percent in the preceding month. The index for couriers and messengers also decreased less than it
had in December. Prices received by the general freight trucking industry group and by the inland water freight
transportation industry turned up in January. By contrast, the index for the line-haul railroad industry moved
down 4.3 percent following a 2.5-percent decline in December. Prices received by the industry for local
specialized freight trucking of new goods also decreased more in January than in the previous month. The
indexes for deep sea freight transportation and freight transportation arrangement fell after no change in

PPI Commodity Weight Allocations to Stage-of-Processing Indexes Updated
Effective with the release of January 2009 data on February 19, 2009, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
updated the weight allocations used to calculate its stage-of-processing (SOP) indexes to more accurately reflect
recent sales patterns. While PPI weights continue to be based on shipment values from the 2002 economic
census, the proportion of these weights allocated to the various SOP categories within and, in some cases,
across the Finished, Intermediate, and Crude goods stages have changed. The new allocations are based
primarily on data contained in the 2002 Input/Output Accounts published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
It is important to note that the allocation update does not change the PPI classification system,
reference base, or aggregation structure. It has, however, resulted in significant shifts in the relative importance
of some component series in the stage-of-processing model. A detailed explanation of the SOP allocation
update is available on the BLS Web site at: http://www.bls.gov/ppi/ppisopallo.htm.
Relative importance figures as of December 2008, are available on the BLS Web site at:
www.bls.gov/ppi. Choose the "PPI Tables" link, under the “On This Page” heading. The revised SOP relative
importance figures will be available through the links: “Component series by stage of processing” and
“Commodity groupings by major stage of processing category.” The information may also be requested from
the Division of Industrial Prices and Price Indexes, Section of Index Analysis and Public Information, at 202691-7705. For further information on this change, please contact Jon Weinhagen at (202) 691-7709.

Resampling of Industries
Effective with this release, the Producer Price Index (PPI) includes data for 42 resampled industries
classified according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The Bureau of Labor
Statistics periodically updates the sample of producers providing data for the PPI to reflect current conditions
more accurately when the structure, membership, technology, or product mix of an industry shifts. The first
results of this systematic process were published in July 1986. Subsequent efforts have been completed at 6month intervals.
For information on specific index additions, deletions, and recodes that are effective with this
semiannual update, see the January 2009 issue of the PPI Detailed Report online at

Recalculation of Seasonal Adjustment Factors
Effective with this release, seasonal adjustment factors have been recalculated to reflect price-movement
patterns during 2008 for stage-of-processing (SOP) and commodity-grouping indexes. This routine annual
recalculation may affect previously published seasonally adjusted indexes and percent changes for January 2004
through December 2008. Revised seasonally adjusted data for this period, as well as seasonal adjustment
factors for commodity indexes to be used through December 2009, were released February 17, 2009. To obtain
this information, contact the Division of Industrial Prices and Price Indexes, Section of Index Analysis and
Public Information at [email protected] or (202) 691-7705, or visit the Producer Price Index homepage at
www.bls.gov/ppi.
The table below provides monthly seasonally adjusted percent changes for the three major SOP
categories during 2008, based on former and recalculated seasonal factors. These percent changes include final
price data through August 2008 and may differ from values shown in tables A and B of this release, which
include final price data through September 2008.

Technical Note
Brief Explanation of Producer Price Indexes
Commodity Indexes
The Producer Price Index (PPI) of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) is a family of indexes that measure the
average change over time in the prices received by domestic
producers of goods and services. PPIs measure price change
from the perspective of the seller. This contrasts with other
measures, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI). CPIs
measure price change from the purchaser’s perspective.
Sellers’ and purchasers’ prices can differ due to government
subsidies, sales and excise taxes, and distribution costs.
More than 8,000 PPIs for individual products and
groups of products are released each month. PPIs are
available for the products of virtually every industry in the
mining and manufacturing sectors of the U.S. economy. New
PPIs are gradually being introduced for the products of
industries in the construction, trade, finance, and services
sectors of the economy.
More than 100,000 price quotations per month are
organized into three sets of PPIs: (1) Stage-of-processing
indexes, (2) commodity indexes, and (3) indexes for the net
output of industries and their products. The stage-ofprocessing structure organizes products by class of buyer and
degree of fabrication. The commodity structure organizes
products by similarity of end use or material composition.
The entire output of various industries is sampled to derive
price indexes for the net output of industries and their
products.
The commodity classification structure of the PPI
organizes products by similarity of end use or material
composition, disregarding industry of origin. Fifteen major
commodity groupings (two-digit commodity codes) make up
the All Commodities Index. Each major commodity grouping
includes (in descending order of aggregation) subgroups
(three-digit codes), product classes (four-digit codes),
subproduct classes (six-digit codes), item groupings (sevendigit codes) and individual items (eight-digit codes).
Industry Net-Output Price Indexes
PPIs for the net output of industries and their
products are grouped according to the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS). Prior to the release
of January 2004, industry-based PPIs were published
according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
system. Industry price indexes are compatible with other
economic time series organized by industry, such as data on
employment, wages, and productivity. Table 5 of the PPI
Detailed Report includes data for NAICS industries and
industry groups (3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-digit codes); Census product
classes (7- and 8-digit codes), products (9-digit codes), and
more detailed subproducts (11-digit codes); and, for some
industries, indexes for other sources of revenue.
Indexes may represent one of three kinds of product
categories. Every industry has primary product indexes to
show changes in prices received by establishments classified
in the industry for products made primarily, but not
necessarily exclusively, by that industry. The industry
classification of an establishment is determined by which
products make up a plurality of its total shipment value. In
addition, most industries have secondary product indexes that
show changes in prices received by establishments classified
in the industry for products chiefly made in some other
industry. Finally, some industries have miscellaneous receipts
indexes to show price changes in other sources of revenue
received by establishments within the industry that are not
derived from sales of their products—for example, resales of
purchased materials, or revenues from parking lots owned by a
manufacturing plant.
Stage-of-Processing Indexes
Within the stage-of-processing system, finished
goods are commodities that will not undergo further
processing and are ready for sale to the final-demand user,
either an individual consumer or business firm. Consumer
foods include unprocessed foods such as eggs and fresh
vegetables, as well as processed foods such as bakery products
and meats. Other finished consumer goods include durable
goods such as automobiles, household furniture, and
appliances, as well as nondurable goods such as apparel and
home heating oil. Capital equipment includes durable goods
such as heavy motor trucks, tractors, and machine tools.
The stage-of-processing category for intermediate
materials, supplies, and components consists partly of
commodities that have been processed but require further
processing. Examples of such semifinished goods include
flour, cotton yarn, steel mill products, and lumber. The
intermediate goods category also encompasses nondurable,
physically complete items purchased by business firms as
inputs for their operations. Examples include diesel fuel, belts
and belting, paper boxes, and fertilizers.
Crude materials for further processing are products
entering the market for the first time that have not been
manufactured or fabricated and that are not sold directly to
consumers. Crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs include items
such as grains and livestock. Examples of crude nonfood
materials include raw cotton, crude petroleum, coal, hides and
skins, and iron and steel scrap.
Data Collection
PPIs are based on selling prices reported by
establishments of all sizes selected by probability sampling,
with the probability of selection proportionate to size.
Individual items and transaction terms from these firms also
are chosen by probability proportionate to size. BLS strongly
encourages cooperating companies to supply actual
transaction prices at the time of shipment to minimize the use
of list prices. Prices submitted by survey respondents are
effective on the Tuesday of the week containing the 13th day
of the month. This survey is conducted primarily through the
mail.
9
Price data are provided on a voluntary and
confidential basis; only sworn BLS employees are allowed
access to individual company price reports. BLS publishes
price indexes instead of actual prices. All PPIs are subject to
revision 4 months after original publication to reflect the
availability of late reports and corrections by respondents.
BLS periodically updates the PPI sample of survey
respondents to better reflect current conditions when the
structure, membership, technology, or product mix of an
industry shifts significantly and to spread reporting burden
among smaller firms. Results of these resampling efforts are
incorporated into the PPI with the release of data for January
and July.
As part of an ongoing effort to expand coverage to
sectors of the economy other than mining and manufacturing,
an increasing number of service sector industries have been
introduced into the PPI. The following list of recently
introduced industries includes the month and year in which an
article describing the industry’s content appeared in the PPI
Detailed Report.

Weights
Weights for most traditional commodity groupings of
the PPI, as well as weights for commodity-based aggregate
indexes calculated using traditional commodity groupings,
such as stage-of-processing indexes, currently reflect 2002
values of shipments as reported in the Census of Manufactures
and other sources. From January 2002 through December
10
2006, PPI weights were derived from 1997 shipment values.
Industry indexes now are calculated with 2002 weights and
1997 net output ratios. This periodic update of the value
weights used to calculate the PPI is done to more accurately
reflect changes in production and marketing patterns in the
economy. Net output values of shipments are used as weights
for industry indexes. Net output values refer to the value of
shipments from establishments within the industry to buyers
outside the industry. However, weights for commodity price
indexes are based on gross shipment values, including values
of shipments between establishments within the same
industry. As a result, broad commodity grouping indexes,
such as the PPI for All Commodities, are affected by the
multiple counting of price change at successive stages of
processing, which can lead to exaggerated or misleading
signals about inflation. Stage-of-processing indexes partially
correct for this defect, but industry indexes consistently
correct for this at all levels of aggregation. Therefore,
industry and stage-of-processing indexes are more appropriate
than broad commodity groupings for economic analysis of
general price trends.

Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data
Because price data are used for different purposes by
different groups, BLS publishes seasonally adjusted and
unadjusted changes each month. Seasonally adjusted data are
preferred for analyzing general price trends in the
economy because these data eliminate the effect of changes
that normally occur at about the same time, and in about the
same magnitude, every year—such as price movements
resulting from normal weather patterns, regular production
and marketing cycles, model changeovers, seasonal discounts,
and holidays. For these reasons, seasonally adjusted data
more clearly reveal underlying cyclical trends. Unadjusted
data are of primary interest to users who need information that
can be related to actual dollar values of transactions.
Individuals requiring this information include marketing
specialists, purchasing agents, budget and cost analysts,
contract specialists, and commodity traders.
It is the
unadjusted data that are generally cited when escalating longterm contracts such as purchasing agreements or real estate
leases. For more information, see Escalation and Producer
Price Indexes: A Guide for Contracting Parties, BLS Report
807,
September
1991,
on
the
Web
at
www.bls.gov/ppi/ppiescalation.htm. Reprints are available
on request.
In 1998, the PPI implemented the X-12-ARIMA
Seasonal Adjustment Method; prior to that year, the PPI
employed the X-11 method. Each year, the seasonal status of
most commodity indexes is reevaluated to reflect more recent
price behavior. Industry net output indexes are not seasonally
adjusted. For time series that exhibit seasonal pricing patterns,
new seasonal factors are estimated and applied to the
unadjusted data for the previous 5 years. These updated
seasonally adjusted indexes replace the most recent 5 years of
seasonal data.
Seasonal factors may be applied to series using either
a direct or an aggregative method. Generally, commodity
indexes are seasonally adjusted using direct seasonal
adjustment, which produces a more complete elimination of
seasonal movements than does the aggregative method.
However, the direct seasonal adjustment process may not yield
figures that possess additive consistency. Thus, a seasonally
adjusted index for a broad category that is directly adjusted
may not be logically consistent with all seasonally adjusted
indexes for its components. Seasonal movements for stage-ofprocessing indexes are derived indirectly through an
aggregative method that combines movements of a wide
variety of subproduct class (six-digit) series.
Price Index Reference Base
Effective with publication of January 1988 data,
many important PPI series (including stage-of-processing
groupings and most commodity groups and individual items)
were placed on a new reference base, 1982 = 100. From
1971 through 1987, the standard reference base for most PPI
series was 1967 = 100. Except for rounding differences, the
shift to the new reference base did not alter any previously
published percent changes for affected PPI series. (See
“Calculating Index Changes,” below.) The 1982 reference
base is not used for commodity indexes with a base later than
December 1981 or for industry net output indexes and their
products.
For further information on the underlying concepts
and methodology of the Producer Price Index, see chapter 14,
“Producer Prices,” in BLS Handbook of Methods (April
1997), Bulletin 2490. This document can be downloaded from
the
BLS
Web
site
at
www.bls.gov/opub/hom/homch14_itc.htm.

Calculating Index Changes
Each PPI measures price changes from a reference
period that equals 100.0. An increase of 5.5 percent from the
reference period in the Finished Goods Price Index, for
example, is shown as 105.5. This change also can be
expressed in dollars, as follows: prices received by domestic
producers of a sample of finished goods have risen from $100
in 1982 to $105.50. Likewise, a current index of 90.0 would
indicate that prices received by producers of finished goods
are 10 percent lower than they were in 1982.
Movements of price indexes from one month to
another are usually expressed as percent changes, rather than
as changes in index points. Index point changes are affected
by the level of the index in relation to its base period, whereas
percent changes are not. The following example shows the
computation of index point and percent changes.
11
Seasonally adjusted indexes can become problematic
when previously stable and predictable price patterns abruptly
change. If the new pattern persists, the seasonal adjustment
method will eventually reflect it adequately; if the pattern
keeps shifting, however, seasonally adjusted data will become
chronically troublesome. This problem occurs relatively
infrequently for farm and food-related products, but has more
often affected manufactured products such as automobiles and
steel.
Since January 1988, the PPI has used Intervention
Analysis Seasonal Adjustment methods to enhance the
calculation of seasonal factors. With this technique, outlier
values that may distort the seasonal pattern are removed from
the data prior to applying the standard seasonal factor
estimation procedure. For example, a possible economic
cause for large price movements for petroleum-based products
might have been the Persian Gulf War. In this case,
intervention techniques allowed for better estimates of
seasonally adjusted data. On the whole, very few series have
required intervention. Out of nearly 800 seasonally adjusted
series, only 16 were subject to intervention in 2008.
For more information relating to seasonal adjustment
methods, see (1) “Appendix A: Seasonal Adjustment
Methodology at BLS,” in the BLS Handbook of Methods
(April 1997), Bulletin 2490 and (2) “Summary of Changes to
the PPI’s Seasonal Adjustment Methodology” in the January
1995 issue of Producer Price Indexes.
applications guide a user through the PPI
classification system by listing index titles and do not
require knowledge of commodity or industry codes.
Data retrieved are based on a query formulated by
selecting data characteristics from lists provided.
Two options are available to create customized
tables, depending on a user’s browser capability. The
one-screen option is a JavaScript application that uses
a single screen to guide a user through the available
time series data. The second option is a multiplescreen, non-Java-based application. Both methods
allow a user to browse the PPI coding structure and
select multiple series codes. Using the one-screen
option, users can modify the date range and output
options after executing the query using the reformat
button above the data output table.

Producer Price Index Data on the Internet
In 1995, the BLS began posting PPI series, news
releases, and technical information to both a World Wide Web
(WWW) site and a file transfer protocol (FTP) site. During
the years following the introduction of PPI Internet services,
use of these sites eclipsed more traditional methods of data
dissemination, such as subscriptions to the PPI Detailed
Report. There were more than 2.1 million instances of PPI
series being downloaded from the Internet during the 12
months ended December 31, 2007.
EXAMPLES
For commodity and stage-of-processing indexes,
series identifiers combine a “wpu” prefix (not
seasonally adjusted) or a “wps” prefix (seasonally
adjusted) with a commodity code.

Retrieving PPI data from the PPI Web site
PPI data can be obtained from the WWW address
(www.bls.gov/ppi). Clicking on the “PPI Databases” link
reveals the following methods of data retrieval:
•
•
Series Report is a form-based application that uses
formatted PPI time series identifiers (commodity or
industry codes) as input in extracting data according
to a specified set of date ranges and output options.
This application provides the most efficient path for
users who are familiar with the format of PPI time
series identifiers. Up to 300 indexes can be extracted
at a time.
There are five alphabetic prefixes used to
create unique PPI time series identifiers: WP, WD,
PC, PD, and ND. Each provides the user access to a
different PPI database. Adding either a “u” (not
seasonally adjusted) or an “s” (seasonally adjusted) to
the end of these prefixes further specifies the type of
data needed.

Top Picks is a form-based application for both
Industry Data and Commodity Data that allows the
user to quickly obtain PPI time series data by
selecting the most commonly requested time series,
including the All Commodities Index and the stageof-processing indexes (for example, Finished Goods).
Within each list, any one—or all—of the time series
shown can be selected. A user can modify the date
range and output options after executing the query,
using the reformat button above the data output table.

1 Indexes in this table are derived from the net-output-weighted industry price indexes. Because of differences in coverage and aggregation methodology, they will generally not match the
movements of similarly titled indexes which are derived from traditional commodity groupings.
2 The indexes for September 2008 have been recalculated to incorporate late reports and corrections by respondents. All indexes are subject to revision 4 months after original publication.
