		CONSUMER PRICE INDEX:  AUGUST 2007
 
      The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) declined 0.2
 percent in August, before seasonal adjustment, the Bureau of Labor
 Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today.  The August
 level of 207.917 (1982-84=100) was 2.0 percent higher than in August 2006.
      
      The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
 (CPI-W) also decreased 0.2 percent in August prior to seasonal adjustment.
 The August level of 203.199 (1982-84=100) was 1.8 percent higher than in
 August 2006.
      
      The Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U)
 decreased 0.1 percent in August on a not seasonally adjusted basis.  The
 August level of 120.077 (December 1999=100) was 1.8 percent higher than in
 August 2006.  Please note that the indexes for the post-2005 period are
 subject to revision.
 
 CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
      
      On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U declined 0.1 percent in
 August, the first decline since a 0.4 percent decrease in October 2006.
 The index for energy declined for the third consecutive month, down 3.2
 percent in August.  The index for petroleum-based energy decreased 4.6
 percent.  The index for energy services fell 1.3 percent, resulting from a
 4.2 percent decline in the index for natural gas.  The food index rose 0.4
 percent in August.  The index for food at home also rose 0.4 percent,
 reflecting another large increase in the index for dairy products.  The
 index for all items less food and energy advanced 0.2 percent in August,
 the same as in July.

      During the first eight months of 2007, the CPI-U rose at a 3.7
 percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR).  This compares with an
 increase of 2.5 percent for all of 2006.  The larger advance thus far this
 year was due to larger increases in the energy and food indexes.  Despite
 registering declines in each of the last three months, the index for
 energy increased at a 12.7 percent SAAR through August.  Petroleum-based
 energy led the acceleration with a 22.7 percent increase at an annual
 rate.  Last year the overall energy index rose 2.9 percent.   The food
 index also increased much more so far this year compared with last year, a
 5.6 percent SAAR compared with a 2.1 percent rise for all of 2006.
 Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U advanced at a 2.3 percent SAAR in the
 first eight months, following a 2.6 percent rise for all of 2006.
      
       The food and beverages index rose 0.4 percent in August.  The index
 for food at home, which increased 0.1 percent in July, rose 0.4 in August.
 Another sharp increase in the index for dairy products, coupled with
 upturns in the indexes for nonalcoholic beverages and for meats, poultry,
 fish, and eggs, accounted for most of the August advance.  The index for
 dairy products increased 1.7 percent, following increases of 3.2 and 2.7
 percent in the preceding two months.  Milk prices rose 1.0 percent and
 have risen 18.1 percent since the beginning of the year.  The index for
 nonalcoholic beverages, which fell 0.1 percent in July, rose 1.2 percent
 in August.  The index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs increased 0.1
 percent after declining 0.4 percent in July.  Beef prices, which declined
 0.7 percent in July, increased 0.1 percent in August.  The indexes for
 poultry and for pork increased 0.2 and declined 0.8 percent, respectively.
 The index for eggs rose 2.4 percent in August and was 34.9 percent higher
 than a year ago.  The index for fruits and vegetables declined for the
 fourth consecutive month--down 0.2 percent in August.  A 1.7 percent
 decrease in the indexes for fresh vegetables more than offset increases in
 the indexes for fresh fruits and for processed fruits and vegetables--up
 1.0 and 0.3 percent, respectively.  The indexes for cereal and bakery
 products and for other food at home increased 0.4 and 0.1 percent,
 respectively.  The other two components of the food and beverages index--
 food away from home and alcoholic beverages--increased 0.4 and 0.3
 percent, respectively.
      
      The index for housing was virtually unchanged in August, following a
 0.2 percent increase in July.  The index for shelter rose 0.2 percent, the
 same as in July.  Within shelter, the indexes for rent and for owners'
 equivalent rent each rose 0.2 percent; while the index for lodging away
 from home, declined 0.6 percent.  The index for household energy decreased
 1.2 percent as a 4.2 percent decline in the index for natural gas more
 than offset an increase of 0.4 percent in the index for fuel oil; the
 index for electricity was virtually unchanged for the second consecutive
 month.  The index for household furnishings and operations decreased 0.2
 percent in August.
      
      The transportation index declined for the third consecutive month--
 down 1.2 percent in August-- reflecting another decline in the index for
 motor fuels.  The index for gasoline declined 4.9 percent.  (Prior to
 seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices fell 5.9 percent in August and were
 9.0 percent lower than their peak level recorded in May.)  The index for
 new vehicles rose 0.1 percent.  (Prior to seasonal adjustment, new vehicle
 prices declined for the seventh consecutive month, down 0.2 percent in
 August.)  The index for used cars and trucks increased 0.8 percent.
 During the last 12 months, new vehicle prices have declined 0.9 percent
 and prices for used cars and trucks, 3.7 percent.  The index for public
 transportation increased 0.5 percent in August, reflecting a 0.6 percent
 increase in the index for airline fares.  (Prior to seasonal adjustment,
 airline fares declined 1.7 percent.)
      
      The index for apparel, which increased 0.4 percent in July, declined
 0.5 percent in August.  (Prior to seasonal adjustment, apparel prices rose
 0.8 percent, as price increases associated with the introduction of
 fall-winter wear more than offset the decline in prices for discounted
 spring-summer clothing.  Prices for women's and girls' apparel rose 1.9
 percent, while prices for men's and boys' apparel declined 0.5 percent.)
      
      Medical care costs rose 0.5 percent in August.  The index for medical
 care commodities--prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and medical
 supplies--increased 0.4 percent.  The index for medical care services rose
 0.5 percent.  The indexes for professional services and for hospital and
 related services each increased 0.5 percent.
      
      The index for recreation declined 0.1 percent in August.  Decreases
 in the indexes for video and audio, for sporting goods, and for admissions
 to movies, theaters, concerts and sporting events--each down 0.4 percent -
 -more than offset a 0.5 percent increase in the index for pets, pet
 products and services.
      
      The index for education and communication increased 0.3 percent in
 August.  The index for education rose 0.5 percent, reflecting increases of
 2.2 percent for college textbooks and 0.4 percent for college tuition and
 fees.  (Prior to seasonal adjustment, charges for college tuition and fees
 rose 2.6 percent in August and were 6.0 percent higher than a year ago.)
 The index for communication rose 0.1 percent in August.  Within this
 group, the index for telephone services rose 0.2 percent, reflecting
 increases for land-line local charges and for land-line long distance
 charges of 0.4 and 0.2 percent, respectively.  The indexes for personal
 computers and peripheral equipment and for computer software and
 accessories declined 0.8 and 2.7 percent, respectively, while charges for
 internet services and electronic information providers rose 0.3 percent.
      
      The index for other goods and services increased 0.1 percent in
 August.  The index for tobacco and smoking products rose 0.2 percent and
 has increased 6.5 percent during the last 12 months.  The index for
 personal care was virtually unchanged as a decline in prices for personal
 care products was offset by increases in charges for personal care
 services and miscellaneous personal services.

 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
 Bureau of Labor Statistics 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 earners 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 by personal visits or
 telephone calls of the Bureau's trained representatives.
      
      In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each
 location are averaged together with weights, which 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 are also 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 only measure 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 subject to two annual revisions.
      
      The index measures price change from a designed reference date.  For
 the CPI-U and the CPI-W the reference base is 1982-84 equals 100.0. The
 reference base for the C-CPI-U is December 1999 equals 100.
 An increase of 16.5 percent from the reference base, for example, is shown
 as 116.5.  This change can also 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.

 Note on Sampling Error in the Consumer Price Index
                                     
      The CPI is a statistical estimate that is subject to sampling error
 because it is based upon a sample of retail prices and not the complete
 universe of all prices.  BLS calculates and publishes estimates of the 1-
 month, 2-month, 6-month and 12-month percent change standard errors
 annually, for the CPI-U.  These standard error estimates can be used to
 construct confidence intervals for hypothesis testing.  For example, the
 estimated standard error of the 1 month percent change is 0.06 percent for
 the U.S. All Items Consumer Price Index.  This means that if we repeatedly
 sample from the universe of all retail prices using the same methodology,
 and estimate a percentage change for each sample, then 95% of these
 estimates would be within 0.12 percent of the 1 month percentage change
 based on all retail prices.  For a 1-month change of 0.2 percent in the
 All Items CPI for All Urban Consumers, we are 95 percent confident that
 the actual percent change based on all retail prices would fall between
 0.08 and 0.32 percent.  For the latest data, including information on how
 to use the estimates of standard error, see "Variance Estimates for
 Changes in the Consumer Price Index, January 2005- December 2005 in the
 CPI Detailed Report, February 2006.  These data are available on the CPI
 home page (http://www.bls.gov/cpi), using the following link

 Calculating Index Changes
 
       Movements of the indexes from one month to another are usually
 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 while percent changes are not.  The example below 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.

 A Note on 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 unadjusted 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 2002 through December 2006 were replaced in January 2007.
 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: 44 of the 73 components
 are seasonally adjusted for 2007.
      
      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.
   
      In January 2007, BLS adjusted 37 series using Intervention Analysis
 Seasonal Adjustment, including selected food and beverage items, fuel oil,
 motor fuels, vehicles, jewelry, admission to sporting events and
 educational books and supplies.  For example, this procedure was used for
 the Motor fuel series to offset the effects of damage to oil refineries
 from Hurricane Katrina, as well as the effects of implementing new fuel
 requirements in the United States.
      
      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:
