CPI Detailed Report-June 2008
CONSUMER PRICE MOVEMENTS
JUNE 2008
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 1.0 percent in June, before seasonal adjustment, the Bureau

higher than in June 2007.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 1.1 percent in June, prior to
seasonal adjustment. The June level of 215.223 (1982-84=100) was 5.6 percent higher than in June 2007.
The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U) increased 0.8 percent in June on a not seasonally
adjusted basis. The June level of 125.582 (December 1999=100) was 4.2 percent higher than in June 2007. Please note that the
indexes for the post-2006 period are subject to revision.
CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U advanced 1.1 percent in June, following a 0.6 percent increase in May. The index for
energy rose sharply for the second straight month, increasing 6.6 percent in June following a 4.4 percent increase in May. The

petroleum-based energy advanced 10.0 percent and the index for energy services rose 1.5 percent. The food index rose 0.8 percent
in June after rising 0.3 percent in May. The index for food at home went up 1.0 percent in June, with indexes for four of the six

following a 0.1 percent rise in April and a 0.2 percent increase in May. Larger increases in the indexes for shelter and for tobacco
and smoking products and an upturn in the apparel index contributed to the larger increase.

Consumer prices advanced at a seasonally adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) of 7.9 percent in the second quarter after
increasing at a 3.1 percent rate in the first three months of 2008. This brings the year-to-date annual rate to 5.5 percent and
compares with an increase of 4.1 percent in all of 2007. The index for energy increased at a 29.1 percent SAAR in the first half of
2008, accounting for around half of the advance in the all items CPI-U during that period. Energy commodities increased at a 34.7
percent rate and energy services rose at a 20.1 percent rate. The food index rose at a 6.8 percent SAAR in the first half of 2008,
accounting for about one-sixth of the overall CPI-U increase in the period. The food at home index increased at an 8.7 percent
annual rate in the first half of 2008, compared to a 5.6 percent increase for all of 2007. Four of the six major groups accelerated
over last year. The increases ranged from annual rates of 15.5 percent for the index for cereal and bakery products to 5.2 percent
for the index for meats, poultry fish and eggs.
The CPI-U excluding food and energy increased at a 2.5 percent SAAR in the second quarter after rising at a 2.0 percent rate
in the first three months of 2008. The advance at a 2.3 percent SAAR over the first six months of 2008 compares with an increase
1
CPI Detailed Report-June 2008
of 2.4 percent in all of 2007. Deceleration in the shelter and medical care indexes and a larger rate of decline in the apparel index
more than offset acceleration in the indexes for recreation, education and communication, and other goods and services. The shelter
index increased at a 2.2 percent SAAR after increasing 3.1 percent in 2007 while the apparel index declined at a 1.9 percent rate
after falling 0.3 percent in 2007. The annual rates for selected groups for the last seven-and-one-half years are shown below.

6 Indexes on a November 1996=100 base.
- Data not available.
NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.
NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each
local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore,
subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a
result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index,
although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI
for use in their escalator clauses.

- Data not available.
NOTE: Index applies to a month as a whole, not to any specific date.
NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each
local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore,
subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a
result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index,
although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI
for use in their escalator clauses.

CPI Detailed Report-June 2008
Technical Notes
Brief Explanation of the CPI
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time of goods and services purchased by
households. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes CPIs for two population groups: (1) The CPI for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), which covers households of wage earners and clerical workers that comprise approximately
32 percent of the total population and (2) the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the Chained CPI for All Urban Consumers
(C-CPI-U), which cover approximately 87 percent of the total population and include, in addition to wage earner and clerical worker
households, groups such as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the self-employed, short-term workers, the unemployed,
and retirees and others not in the labor force.
The CPIs are based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors’ and dentists’
services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected in 87 urban areas across the
country from about 50,000 housing units and approximately 23,000 retail establishments—department stores, supermarkets, hospitals,
filling stations, and other types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items
are included in the index. Prices of fuels and a few other items are obtained every month in all 87 locations. Prices of most other
commodities and services are collected every month in the three largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas. Prices
of most goods and services are obtained through personal visits or telephone calls by BLS trained representatives.
In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are averaged together with weights that represent
their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. For
the CPI-U and CPI-W, separate indexes also are published by size of city, by region of the country, for cross-classifications of regions
and population-size classes, and for 27 local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices among cities; they
measure only the average change in prices for each area since the base period. For the C-CPI-U, data are issued only at the national
level. It is important to note that the CPI-U and CPI-W are considered final when released, but the C-CPI-U is issued in preliminary
form and is subject to two annual revisions.
The index measures price change from a designated reference date. For the CPI-U and the CPI-W, the reference base is 1982–84
= 100.0. The reference base for the C-CPI-U is December 1999=100.0. An increase of 16.5 percent from the reference base, for
example, is shown as 116.5. This change also can be expressed in dollars as follows: the price of a base-period market basket of
goods and services in the CPI has risen from $10 in 1982–84 to $11.65.
For further details, visit the CPI homepage on the Internet at https://www.bls.gov/cpi orcontact our CPI Information and
Analysis Section at (202) 691-7000.
Calculating index changes
Movements of the indexes from one month to another usually are expressed as percent changes, rather than changes in index points,
because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period, whereas percent changes are not. The
example shown in the box on this page illustrates the computation of index point and percent changes.
Percent changes for 3-month and 6-month periods are expressed as annual rates and are computed according to the standard
formula for compound growth rates. These data indicate what the percent change would be if the current rate were maintained for a
12-month period.

Energy prices
Prices usually are available for the U.S. city average, 13 large metropolitan areas, the 4 census regions, 3 size classifications, and 10
areas reflecting the 4 census regions cross-classified by the 3 population sizes. However, not all energy commodities and services are
used in every area of the country. Fuel oil, for example, is not a common heating fuel in some urban areas, particularly in the South
and West. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA appears. This designation also appears if the data sufficiency
criteria have not been met in any given month. For example, if there are fewer than five usable fuel oil prices for a published city or
region size class, no fuel oil prices for the area will be published.
All prices are collected monthly by BLS representatives in the urban areas priced for the CPI. Prices for natural gas and
electricity include fuel and purchased gas adjustments and all applicable taxes. Fuel oil and gasoline prices include applicable
Federal, State, and local taxes.
Natural gas and electricity. Natural gas prices are reported in therms, which are a measure of heating value. Electricity prices are
given in kilowatt hours (kwh). For both utility services, the consumption ranges specified in table P2 are the upper and lower limits
of the bill sizes priced for the CPI. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are calculated from bills priced within these
ranges. It should be noted that bills priced for the CPI not only are for different consumption amounts, but may also be calculated
from different types of residential rate schedules. The average prices per therm and per kilowatt hour are not, therefore, generally
suitable for use in place-to-place price comparisons. The average prices for 40 and 100 therms of natural gas, and for 500 kilowatt
hours of electricity (shown in table P1) are calculated from a special price collection program. They are not used in the calculation of
the CPI. Because heating and air-conditioning requirements vary by geographic location, climate, and weather conditions, it cannot
be inferred that these consumption amounts represent those used by a typical residential consumer. These bills are used merely
to track price changes over time for constant amounts of consumption, and to provide continuity with prices of natural gas and
electricity formerly published in conjunction with the unrevised CPI.
Fuel oil. Only #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) is priced. (See table P1.) Prices are collected, in most cases, for quantities greater than 1
gallon. These prices are converted to a gallon price for this program. Fuel oil prices reflect discounts for quantity or quick payment.
Gasoline and automotive diesel fuel. Gasoline and diesel prices, shown in table P3, are collected at the pump from a sample of full
service, miniservice, and self-service gas stations. Approximate British Thermal Unit (BTU) values for some energy items are as
follows, according to the source indicated:
1 therm = 100,000 BTUs (U.S. Department of Energy)
1 kwh = 3,412 BTUs (Edison Electric Institute)
1 gallon #2 fuel oil = 140,000 BTUs (U.S. Department of Energy)
Food and beverage prices
Actual weighted average prices for food and beverages are calculated each month at the national level and for the four census
geographic regions, as shown in table P4. As a result of changes in price collection methodology and sample sizes,
average prices for individual cities cannot, in general, be produced. It is hoped, however, that regional average prices will help to
satisfy the need for local area data. It should be noted that the average prices for food in this report reflect variations in brand, quality,
and size among geographic areas. Users of average food prices should be aware that these differences exist.
Because a number of food commodities are not available in all areas on a year-round basis, prices will not appear in some
months for some regions or for the U.S. city average. In other instances, sufficient prices may not be available due to temporary
115
CPI Detailed Report-June 2008
disruptions in supplies. Where no average prices are available, the designation NA appears. When a price is not available from an
individual store in any month, an estimated price will be calculated for the missing item and used in computing the average price. For
cases in which the proportion of estimated prices used to calculate the average is considered too high, the average price is not
published, and NA appears for that item in the table.
Because of space limitations in the table, the description for each item is abbreviated. Detailed specifications are available from
BLS information offices or from the Washington office, upon request.
Seasonally adjusted and unadjusted data
Because price data are used for different purposes by different groups, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes seasonally adjusted as
well as unadjusted changes each month.
For analyzing general price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they eliminate the
effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year--such as price movements
resulting from changing climatic conditions, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales.
The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data also are
used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie
compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index before adjustment for seasonal variation.
Seasonal factors used in computing the seasonally adjusted indexes are derived by the X-12-ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Method.
Seasonally adjusted indexes and seasonal factors are computed annually. Each year, the last 5 years of seasonally adjusted data are
revised. Data from January 2003 through December 2007 were replaced in January 2008. Exceptions to the usual revision schedule
were: the updated seasonal data at the end of 1977 replaced data from 1967 through 1977; and, in January 2002, dependently
seasonally adjusted series were revised for January 1987-December 2001 as a result of a change in the aggregation weights for
dependently adjusted series. For further information, please see “Aggregation of Dependently Adjusted Seasonally Adjusted Series,”
in the October 2001 issue of the CPI Detailed Report.
The seasonal movement of All items and 54 other aggregations is derived by combining the seasonal movement of 73 selected
components. Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. If any of the 73
components change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data
will be used in the aggregation of the dependent series for the last 5 years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes will be used before that
period. Note: 48 of the 73 components are seasonally adjusted for 2008.
Seasonally adjusted data, including the All items index levels, are subject to revision for up to five years after their original
release. For this reason, BLS advises against the use of these data in escalation agreements.
Effective with the calculation of the seasonal factors for 1990, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has used an enhanced seasonal
adjustment procedure called Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment for some CPI series. Intervention Analysis Seasonal
Adjustment allows for better estimates of seasonally adjusted data. Extreme values and/or sharp movements which might distort the
seasonal pattern are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. Beginning with the calculation of
seasonal factors for 1996, X-12-ARIMA software was used for Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment.
For the seasonal factors introduced in January 2008, BLS adjusted 20 series using Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment,
including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels, electricity and vehicles. For example, this procedure was used for the Motor
fuel series to offset the effects of events such as damage to oil refineries from Hurricane Katrina.
For a complete list of Intervention Analysis Seasonal Adjustment series and explanations, please refer to the article “Intervention
Analysis Seasonal Adjustment”, located on our website at: https://www.bls.gov/cpi/cpisapage.htm.
For additional information on seasonal adjustment in the CPI, please write to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of
Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212 or contact Jeff Wilson on (202) 691-6968, or by e-mail at
