PRODUCER PRICE INDEXES – MAY 2010 

The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods moved down 0.3 percent in May, seasonally adjusted, the 

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. This decline followed a 0.1-percent decrease in April 

and a 0.7-percent increase in March. At the earlier stages of processing, prices received by producers of 

intermediate goods advanced 0.4 percent and the crude goods index fell 2.8 percent. On an unadjusted 

basis, prices for finished goods rose 5.3 percent for the 12 months ended May 2010. This was the second 

consecutive month of slowing year-over-year advances after a 6.0-percent increase for the 12 months 

ended March 2010. (See table A.)

Stage-of-Processing Analysis 

Finished goods

In May, most of the decline in the index for finished goods can be attributed to lower prices for energy 

goods, which fell 1.5 percent. Also contributing to lower finished goods prices, the index for finished 

consumer foods moved down 0.6 percent. By contrast, prices for finished goods less foods and energy 

rose 0.2 percent. 

Finished energy: The index for finished energy goods fell 1.5 percent in May, its second consecutive 

monthly decline. Leading the May decrease, gasoline prices dropped 7.0 percent. Lower prices for 

liquefied petroleum gas and home heating oil also were factors in the finished energy goods decline. 

(See table 2.) 

Finished foods: Prices for finished consumer foods moved down 0.6 percent in May, their second 

straight monthly decrease. Accounting for most of the May decline, the index for fresh and dry 

vegetables fell 18.0 percent. Lower prices for processed young chickens also contributed to the decrease 

in the finished consumer foods index. 

Finished core: The index for finished goods less foods and energy advanced 0.2 percent in May, its 

seventh consecutive monthly rise. About forty percent of the May increase can be attributed to prices for 

light motor trucks, which moved up 0.8 percent. 

Intermediate goods

The Producer Price Index for Intermediate Materials, Supplies, and Components rose 0.4 percent in 

May, its third straight monthly advance. Accounting for three-fourths of the broad-based May increase, 

prices for intermediate materials less foods and energy rose 0.3 percent. The indexes for intermediate 

energy goods and for intermediate foods and feeds also contributed to the overall advance, moving up 

0.5 and 0.4 percent, respectively. On a 12-month basis, prices for intermediate goods climbed 8.5 

percent in May, the sixth consecutive month of year-over-year increases. (See table B.) 

Intermediate core: The index for intermediate materials less foods and energy moved up 0.3 percent in 

May, its twelfth consecutive monthly gain. About three-fourths of the May increase can be attributed to 

a 3.5-percent rise in prices for steel mill products. Advances in the indexes for paperboard and for 

hardboard, particleboard and fiberboard products also were factors in the intermediate core increase. 

(See table 2.) 

Intermediate energy: The index for intermediate energy goods moved up 0.5 percent in May, its third 

straight monthly advance. A major factor in the May increase was a 1.1-percent rise in prices for electric 

power. Higher prices for natural gas to electric utilities also contributed to the intermediate energy goods 

advance. 

Intermediate foods: Prices for intermediate foods and feeds increased 0.4 percent in May after rising 

0.5 percent a month earlier. The index for meats led the May advance, climbing 4.4 percent.

Crude goods

The Producer Price Index for Crude Materials for Further Processing fell 2.8 percent in May. For the 3-

month period ending in May, crude materials prices moved down 0.8 percent this followed a 6.5-percent 

jump from November to February. In May, most of the broad-based monthly decline can be attributed to 

a 5.1-percent drop in the index for crude energy materials. Also contributing to the May decrease, prices 

for crude nonfood materials less energy moved down 1.6 percent and the index for crude foodstuffs and 

feedstuffs fell 0.6 percent. (See table B.) 

Crude energy: The index for crude energy materials declined 5.1 percent in May. From February to 

May, prices for crude energy materials fell 9.5 percent subsequent to a 6.6-percent increase for the 3 

months ending in February. The monthly decrease in May was the result of a 12.1-percent drop in crude 

petroleum prices. (See table 2.) 

Crude core: The index for crude nonfood materials less energy fell 1.6 percent in May. For the 3-

month period ending in May, crude core prices rose 8.5 percent after climbing 10.6 percent from 

November to February. Leading the May decline, prices for iron and steel scrap dropped 5.7 percent. A 

decrease in the index for nonferrous scrap also contributed to the fall in crude core prices. 

Crude foods: The index for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs fell 0.6 percent in May. From February to 

May, crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs prices climbed 3.8 percent following a 4.8-percent rise in the 

previous 3-month period. A major contributor to the monthly decline in prices for crude foodstuffs and 

feedstuffs was the index for oilseeds, which fell 4.2 percent. A decrease in the index for fresh and dry 

vegetables was also a significant factor in the fall in prices for crude foodstuffs and feedstuffs.

Services Analysis 

Trade industries: The Producer Price Index for the Net Output of Total Trade Industries rose 0.6 

percent in May, its sixth increase in the last seven months. (Trade indexes measure changes in margins 

received by wholesalers and retailers.) Leading the May advance, margins received by general 

merchandise stores climbed 8.3 percent. Higher margins received by nondurable goods wholesalers and 

gasoline stations also were major factors in the May increase for the total trade industries index. 

Transportation and warehousing industries: The Producer Price Index for the Net Output of 

Transportation and Warehousing Industries moved up 0.4 percent in May, its third consecutive advance. 

About sixty percent of the rise in May can be traced to prices received by the truck transportation 

industry group, which increased 0.8 percent. Higher prices received by the industries for scheduled 

freight air transportation and line-haul railroads also contributed to the advance in the transportation and 

warehousing industries index. 

Traditional service industries: The Producer Price Index for the Net Output of Total Traditional 

Service Industries was unchanged in May following a 0.9-percent advance in April. In May, higher 

prices received by the investment banking and securities dealing industry and by savings institutions 

were offset by lower prices received by the industries for commercial banking and passenger car rental. 

____________ 

The Producer Price Index for June 2010 is scheduled to be released on Thursday, July 15, 2010 at 

8:30 a.m. (EDT).

Technical Note 

Brief Explanation of Producer Price 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. 

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. 

Commodity Indexes 

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. 

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.

Index, by SIC or NAICS code and the PPI Detailed Report that

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 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. 

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. Reprints are 

available on request. 

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. 

Index point change

 Finished Goods Price Index 107.5 

 Less previous index 104.0 

 Equals index point change 3.5 

Index percent change

 Index point change 3.5 

 Divided by the previous index 104.0 

 Equals 0.034 

 Result multiplied by 100 0.034 x 100 

 Equals percent change 3.4 

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-of-
11 

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. 

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. 

Retrieving PPI data from the PPI Web site 

PPI data can be obtained from the WWW address

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. 

• 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 

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. 

Commodity code Provides data for:

wps141101 Passenger cars, seasonally 

adjusted 

wpu141101 Passenger cars, not 

seasonally adjusted 

wpusop3000 Finished goods, not 

seasonally adjusted 
12 

For discontinued commodity indexes, series 

identifiers combine a “wdu” prefix (not seasonally 

adjusted) or a “wds” prefix (seasonally adjusted) with 

a commodity code. 

Commodity code Provides data for:

wds019 Other farm products, 

seasonally adjusted 

wdu0635 Preparations, ethical 

(prescription), not 

seasonally adjusted 

wdusi138011 Stainless steel mill 

products, not seasonally 

adjusted 

Current price indexes grouped by industry 

according to NAICS have series identifiers that 

begin with the prefix “pcu.” After the prefix, there 

are 12 digits (the 6-digit industry code is listed twice) 

followed by up to 7 alphanumeric characters 

identifying product detail. Dashes are used as 

placeholders for higher-level industry group codes. 

Industry-product code, 

current NAICS series Provides data for:

pcu325---325--- Chemical manufacturing, 

not seasonally adjusted 

pcu336110336110 Automobile and light duty 

motor vehicle 

manufacturing 

pcu621111621111411 Offices of physicians, oneand two-physician 

practices and singlespecialty group practices, 

general/family practice 

pcu325412325412A Pharmaceutical 

preparation 

manufacturing, 

pharmaceuticals acting on 

the respiratory system 

 

Discontinued industry-product codes based on 

SIC combine a “pdu” prefix and “#” between the 

fourth and fifth characters of the product code. 

Series identifiers for the discontinued dataset use 

underscores as placeholders to complete a reference 

to an SIC industry group code of fewer than four 

digits. (All PPI industry-based indexes organized by 

SIC were discontinued with the introduction of 

NAICS.) 

Industry-product code,

discontinued SIC series Provides data for:

pdu28_ _# Chemicals and allied 

products, not seasonally 

adjusted 

pdu331_# Blast furnaces, steel 

works, and rolling and 

finishing mills, not 

seasonally adjusted 

pdu3711#111 Passenger cars 

Price indexes for discontinued series grouped by 

industry according to NAICS have identifiers that 

begin with the prefix “ndu.” After the prefix, there 

are 12 numeric digits (the 6-digit industry code is 

listed twice), and up to 7 additional alphanumeric 

characters that identify product detail. Dashes are 

used as placeholders for higher-level industry group 

codes. 

Industry-product code, 

discontinued NAICS series Provides data for

• Text Files (FTP) and the FTP server are best suited 

for users requiring access to either a large volume of 

time series data or other PPI-related documentation 

(such as seasonal factor and relative importance 

tables). The FTP sites can be accessed at 

ftp://ftp.bls.gov or directly from the links on the 

“PPI Databases” page or the PPI homepage. Data 

and documentation available for download include 

the following: 

 

 Directory:

Industry Data /pub/time.series/pc 

 Industry Data - Discontinued 

 (NAICS basis) /pub/time.series/nd 

 (SIC basis) /pub/time.series/pd 

Commodity Data /pub/time.series/wp 

 Commodity Data - Discontinued 

 Series /pub/time.series/wd

Special requests /pub/special.requests/ppi

The FTP site maintains files to help with searches 

and downloads. These files are centrally located in the 

/pub/doc directory. Within this directory, the overview.txt 

file contains an overview relating to all BLS data available 

through the FTP site. For current commodity-based PPI data, 

the program help file is wp.txt; for discontinued commodity 

series, wd.txt; for current industry-based PPI data based on 

NAICS, pc.txt; for industry-based SIC time series that have 

been discontinued, pd.txt; and for industry-based NAICS 

series that have been discontinued, nd.txt. 

Users who prefer downloading PPI datasets as 

individual ZIP files should go to the directory labeled 

/pub/time.series/compressed/tape.format/ on the FTP site. 

This directory includes six PPI-specific ZIP files, one for each 

of the PPI databases—WP, WD, PC, ND, and PD—and a ZIP 

file for the annual 5-year revision to historical seasonal PPIs. 

Other Sources of PPI Data 

PPI data can also be accessed via the BLS homepage 

(www.bls.gov). Clicking on the “Databases & Tables” tab at 

the top of the homepage calls up a listing all available BLS 

programs.
