Beginning on May 27, 2004, BEA will accelerate by one month revisions to the estimates of wages
and salaries for the prior quarter. The revised estimates will be released along with the "preliminary"
GDP estimates instead of the "final" estimates. These revisions incorporate wage and salary tabulations
of employees covered by state unemployment insurance from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The
accelerated schedule reflects the more timely availability of the BLS tabulations.
Wages and salaries
Private wage and salary disbursements increased $10.4 billion in March, compared with an
increase of $23.0 billion in February. Goods-producing industries' payrolls increased $3.9 billion,
compared with an increase of $5.2 billion; manufacturing payrolls decreased $0.1 billion, in contrast
to an increase of $3.6 billion. Services-producing industries' payrolls increased $6.5 billion,
compared with an increase of $17.8 billion. Government wage and salary disbursements increased
$2.5 billion, compared with an increase of $2.7 billion.
