Georgia Economic Indicators / .ebruary 2002 1

Introduction

G eorgia Economic Indicators, Monthly Report, is designed to provide in a single publication data on a
number of indicators used to measure movement of the state's economy.
The indicators have been collected and disseminated for many years by state and federal governments and private agencies, but not under a single cover. Contributing agencies include Georgia's Department of Labor, Department of Revenue and Office of Secretary of State, the U.S. Bureau of the Census, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the F.W. Dodge Company.
All data except those contained in the U.S. Consumer Price Index chart on Page 3 are seasonally adjusted using the X11 ARIMA method. They are presented in graphic and tabular form along with an analysis. Each series shows movement over a 24-month period. Where appropriate, companion graphs and tables show data that have been deflated by the U.S. Consumer Price Index or the U.S. Construction Price Index. The purpose is to adjust for inflation and show growth in constant dollars.
Historical tables and graphs are included in a supplementary Georgia Economic Indicators, Historical Series, published annually in February.
The purpose of the publications is to serve the business and professional communities, economic developers, economists, educators and others who have need for information on state economic trends.
Workforce Information and Analysis welcomes comments, suggestions or questions concerning Georgia Economic Indicators, Monthly Report and Georgia Economic Indicators, Historical Series. Please address correspondence to Bill Webb, Workforce Information and Analysis, Georgia Department of Labor, 148 Andrew Young International Boulevard, N.E., Atlanta, Georgia 30303-1751. The telephone number is (404) 656-3177.

Inflation Stays Low in 2001

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) declined 0.4 percent in December, before seasonal adjustment, to a level of 176.7 (198284=100), as recently reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. For the 12-month period ending in December, the CPI-U increased 1.6 percent.
The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) decreased 0.5 percent in December, prior to seasonal adjustment. The December level of 172.9 was 1.3 percent higher than the index in December 2000.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U, which was unchanged in December, declined 0.2 percent in December. The energy index, which declined sharply for the third month, down 3.2 percent in December. The index for petroleum-based energy declined 6.1 percent, and the index for energy services fell 0.8 percent. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.1 percent, following an increase of 0.4 percent in November. Smaller increases in the indexes for medical care and for new vehicles, accounted for the deceleration in December.
Consumer prices declined at a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR)

of 2.0 percent in the fourth quarter. This followed increases in the first three quarters at rates of 4.0, 3.7, and 0.7 percent, respectively. For the 12-moth period ended in December, the CPI-U rose 1.6 percent. This compares with an increase of 3.4 percent for 2000 and was the smallest annual advance since a 1.6 percent rise in 1998.
Excluding food and energy, the CPIU advanced at a 2.6 percent SAAR in the fourth quarter, following increases at rates of 3.5, 2.6, and 2.4 percent, respectively, in the first three quarters of 2001. The 2.7 percent rise in 2001 compares with a 2.6 percent rise in 2000.
The index for housing rose 0.2 percent in December, following a 0.4 percent increase in November. Shelter costs advanced 0.4 percent in December, the same as in November. The index for fuels and utilities decreased 0.9 percent in December and 2.1 percent in 2001. The index for natural gas declined 2.1 percent in December and 15.1 percent during the past 12 months after increasing 36.7 percent in 2000. In December, the index for fuel oil declined 7.1 percent. Fuel oil prices, which increased 30.9 percent in 1999 and 40.5 percent in 2000, fell 26.7 percent in 2001.

The transportation component declined 0.8 percent in December, reflecting a 6.0 percent decrease in the index for gasoline. Gasoline prices have fallen 34.7 percent in the seven-month period following the peak level reached in May 2001. Airline fares decreased 0.4 percent in December, bringing their decline in the last four months of 2001 to 6.3 percent. During 2001, airline fares fell 3.9 percent after increasing 5.9 percent in 2000.
Medical care costs rose 0.1 percent in December. The index for medical care commodities increased 0.2 percent. The index for medical care services rose 0.1 percent in December. Charges for professional services and for hospital and related services increased 0.2 and 5.0 percent, respectively.
In the 12 months ended in December 2001, the index for medical care rose 4.7 percent after increasing 4.2 percent in 2000. The acceleration in 2001 reflects larger increases in the indexes for prescription drugs and hospital and related services, up 6.0 and 7.1 percent, respectively following increases of 3.6 and 6.2 percent in 2000.

Georgia's Leading Economic Indicator Increases 0.3 Percent

Note: All indicators are seasonally adjusted.
***
The Georgia Department of Labor's Index of Leading Economic Indicators (LEI) increased 0.3 percent in December to 169.1 from a revised 168.5, after seasonal adjustment. The Leading Economic Indicator has increased 0.9 percent since January 2001.
The LEI managed to move upward despite the mixed results in December. The value of nonresidential construction dropped down to 312 million (seasonally adjusted) in the month of December, which equates to a decrease of 49.0 percent from the previous month. Sales of new motor vehicles contracted 25.1 percent in December as zero percent special financing deals evaporated. The largest contributor to the slight increase in the LEI was the decrease

in jobless claim, down 30.5 percent in December.
The index of Coincident Indicators declined 0.3 percent in December to 156.7 from a revised 157.9 in November. After the index decreased 1.2 percent in November, the dust has seamed to have settled.
Most of the sectors fluctuated in the low single digits, no dramatic data swings in the Coincident Indicators this month, which is good news. Non-farm employment dipped slightly 0.4 percent and retail employment increased 0.1 percent in December. The unemployment rate for the state of Georgia increased one-tenth of a percent in the month of December. Hopefully, next month's indicators will display signs of the start of an economic recovery.
