PRODUCER PRICE INDEXES – JANUARY 2011
The Producer Price Index for finished goods rose 0.8 percent in January, seasonally adjusted, the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. This advance followed increases of 0.9 percent in December
and 0.7 percent in November and marks the seventh straight rise in finished goods prices. At the earlier
stages of processing, prices received by manufacturers of intermediate goods moved up 1.1 percent, and
the crude goods index rose 3.3 percent. On an unadjusted basis, prices for finished goods advanced 3.6
percent for the 12 months ended January 2011. (See table A.)

Stage-of-Processing Analysis
Finished goods
In January, leading the broad-based increase in the index for finished goods were higher prices for
finished energy goods, which rose 1.8 percent. The indexes for both finished goods less foods and
energy and for finished consumer foods also contributed to this increase, moving up 0.5 percent and 0.3
percent, respectively.
Finished energy: The index for finished energy goods climbed 1.8 percent in January, the fourth
consecutive monthly increase. Most of the January rise is attributable to a 6.9-percent advance in
gasoline prices. Increases in the indexes for diesel fuel and home heating oil also contributed to higher
finished energy goods prices. (See table 2.)
Finished core: Prices for finished goods other than foods and energy moved up 0.5 percent in January,
the third straight increase. Nearly forty percent of the January advance can be traced to the index for
pharmaceutical preparations, which moved up 1.4 percent. Higher prices for plastic products also
contributed to the rise in the finished core index.
Finished foods: The index for finished consumer foods moved up 0.3 percent in January, the fifth
consecutive monthly increase. A 13.7-percent advance in prices for fresh and dry vegetables was the
main factor in the January rise in the finished consumer foods index.
Intermediate goods
The Producer Price Index for intermediate materials, supplies, and components rose 1.1 percent in
January, the sixth straight monthly increase. Accounting for nearly two-thirds of the broad-based
January advance, prices for intermediate goods other than foods and energy climbed 1.0 percent. The
indexes for intermediate energy goods and for intermediate foods and feeds also contributed to this rise,
moving up 1.8 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively. For the 12 months ended January 2011, prices for
intermediate goods increased 6.0 percent, the smallest advance since rising 5.4 percent in September
2010. (See table B.)
Intermediate core: The index for intermediate goods less foods and energy climbed 1.0 percent in
January, the largest increase since a 1.1-percent jump in April 2010. Roughly one-fourth of January’s
over-the-month advance can be traced to prices for industrial chemicals, which moved up 3.0 percent.
Higher prices for steel mill products and for plastic resins and materials also were major factors in the
January rise in the intermediate core index. (See table 2.)
Intermediate energy: Prices for intermediate energy goods increased 1.8 percent in January, the sixth
straight monthly advance. A major factor in the January rise was the diesel fuel index, which jumped 7.2
percent. Higher prices for gasoline also contributed significantly to the increase in the intermediate
energy goods index.
Intermediate foods: In January, the index for intermediate foods and feeds moved up 0.4 percent for
the second consecutive month. A 2.7-percent rise in beef and veal prices accounted for about forty
percent of the January increase in the intermediate foods index.

Crude goods
The Producer Price Index for crude materials for further processing increased 3.3 percent in January. For
the 3-month period ended in January, crude material prices climbed 11.5 percent after moving up 8.8
percent from July to October. In January, about half of the broad-based monthly advance is attributable
to a 4.3-percent rise in prices for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs. Also contributing to this increase, the
index for crude nonfood materials less energy moved up 4.0 percent and prices for crude energy
materials rose 1.9 percent. (See table B.)
Crude foods: The index for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs increased 4.3 percent in January. From
October to January, prices for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs moved up 5.6 percent after rising 11.8
percent in the 3 months ended October 2010. Nearly half of the January monthly advance can be traced
to a 7.6-percent gain in the slaughter cattle index. Higher prices for hay, hayseeds, and oilseeds and for
slaughter borrow and gilts also were factors in the increase in the crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs index.
(See table 2.)
Crude core: The index for crude nonfood materials less energy moved up 4.0 percent in January. For
the 3 months ended in January, crude core prices climbed 11.1 percent, subsequent to a 10.6-percent rise
from July to October. Over eighty percent of January’s over-the-month increase was driven by a 13.6percent jump in the index for iron and steel scrap. Rising prices for nonferrous scrap also contributed to
the advance in the crude core index.
Crude energy: The index for crude energy materials rose 1.9 percent in January. For the 3-month
period ended in January, prices for crude energy materials jumped 17.3 percent after advancing 4.3
percent for the 3 months ended October 2010. A 3.7-percent increase in the index for crude petroleum
led the January monthly advance in crude energy prices.

Services Analysis
Trade industries: The Producer Price Index for the net output of total trade industries moved down 0.7
percent in January, the largest decline since a 1.4-percent drop in June 2010. (Trade indexes measure
changes in margins received by wholesalers and retailers.) Accounting for over forty percent of the
January decrease, margins received by discount department stores fell 11.1 percent. Declines in the
indexes for both family and women’s clothing stores also contributed to the January drop in margins
received by trade industries.
Transportation and warehousing industries: The Producer Price Index for the net output of
transportation and warehousing industries moved up 1.8 percent in January, the largest increase since a
2.1-percent gain in June 2008. Accounting for over two-fifths of the January advance, prices received by
the air transportation industry group rose 4.2 percent. Higher prices received by couriers and the water
transportation industry group also were major factors in the January increase in the transportation and
warehousing industries index.
Traditional service industries: The Producer Price Index for the net output of total traditional service
industries advanced 0.7 percent in January, the largest increase since a similar 0.7-percent advance in
April 2010. More than half of the January rise can be traced to a 4.3-percent increase in prices received
by the depository credit intermediation industry group. Advances in the indexes for insurance carriers
and offices of lawyers also contributed to higher prices received by total traditional service industries.
____________
The Producer Price Index for February 2011 is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, March
16, 2011 at 8:30 a.m. (EDT).

Resampling of Industries
Effective with this release, the Producer Price Index (PPI) includes data for 50 resampled industries and
one newly introduced industry 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 6-month intervals.
For information on specific index additions, deletions, and recodes that are effective with this
semiannual update, see the January 2011 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 2010 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 2006 through December 2010. Revised seasonally adjusted data for this period, as well as
seasonal adjustment factors for commodity indexes to be used through December 2011, were released
February 14, 2011. 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 http://www.bls.gov/ppi.
The table below provides monthly seasonally adjusted percent changes for the three major SOP
categories during 2010, based on former and recalculated seasonal factors. These percent changes
include final price data through August 2010 and may differ from values shown in tables A and B of this
release, which include final price data through September 2010.

PPI Introduces Experimental Aggregation System
On February 14, 2011, the Producer Price Index (PPI) of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
introduced an Experimental Aggregation system. This Experimental Aggregation system takes
advantage of PPI’s expansion of coverage over the last twenty years to include portions of the services
and construction sectors by combining indexes for those sectors with the currently highlighted goods
sector indexes. This new system is a model that greatly expands PPI coverage of the United States
economy.
10
A webpage describing this new aggregation system has been added to the BLS Website. It includes links
to methodological documentation, relative importance figure tables, and instructions for accessing
historical data from the BLS Website. This webpage is located at
http://www.bls.gov/ppi/experimentalaggregation.htm.
In addition, effective with the release of data for January 2011, the Experimental Aggregation indexes
will be published in tables 10 through 15 of the monthly PPI Detailed Report. (See
http://www.bls.gov/ppi/ppi_dr.htm.)
Since this new aggregation system is experimental, PPI is soliciting feedback from users with respect to
methodology and data. To provide feedback, contact Jonathan Weinhagen by email at
[email protected] or by phone at (202) 691-7709. Further information also is available from
the PPI Section of Index Analysis and Public Information, at [email protected] or (202) 691-7705.

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 9,000 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 goods and services by similarity of material
composition or end use, disregarding their industry of origin.
Table 6 of the PPI Detailed Report includes data for
commodity indexes, organized in a hierarchal structure,
including major commodity groupings (two-digit commodity
codes), subgroups (three-digit codes), product classes (fourdigit codes), subproduct classes (five- and six-digit codes),
item groupings (seven-digit codes) and individual items
(eight-, nine-, and ten-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.
12
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
13
2006, PPI weights were derived from 1997 shipment values.
Industry indexes now are calculated with 2002 weights and 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 (which is comprised of major commodity
groupings 01 through 15), 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-ofprocessing 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,

the

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-of-
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

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
14
processing indexes are derived indirectly through an
aggregative method that combines movements of a wide
variety of subproduct class (six-digit) series.
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 over 800 seasonally adjusted
series, only 23 were subject to intervention in 2009.
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.

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, 2008.
One-Screen Data Search and Multi-Screen Data
Search are form-based query applications for both
Industry Data and Commodity Data designed for
users unfamiliar with the PPI coding structure. These
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. Users can modify the
date range and output options after executing the
query using the reformat button above the data output
table.
•
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.
EXAMPLES
Retrieving PPI data from the PPI Web site
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.
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:

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 2010 have been recalculated to incorporate late reports and corrections by respondents. All indexes are subject to revision 4 months after original publication.
