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.

For the 12month period ending in March, the CPI-U increased 2.9 percent. The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) rose 0.1 percent in March, prior to seasonal adjustment. The March level of 172.6 was 2.8 percent higher than the index in March 2000. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.1 percent in March, following increases of 0.6 and 0.3 percent in the first two months of the year. The energy index declined for the second consecutive month, down 2.1 percent in March. The index for energy services fell 0.6 percent, as a 2.1 percent decline in the index for natural gas offset a 0.5 percent rise in the index for electricity. The index for petroleum-based energy declined 3.7 Georgia Department of Labor The Formula Following is the formula for figuring Consumer Price Index percentage changes from one point in time to another. Index point change CPI Less previous index Equals index point change 112.5 108.5 4.0 Percent change Index point difference 4.0 Divided by the previous index 108.5 Equals 0.037 Results multiplied by 100 0.037 x 100 Equals percent change 3.7% percent. The food index, which increased 0.5 percent in February, rose 0.2 percent in March. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.2 percent in March, following increases of 0.3 percent in January and February. Smaller increases in the indexes for medical care and for apparel, coupled with downturns in the indexes for tobacco, recreation, household furnishings and operations accounted for the moderation. The food index, which rose 2.8 percent in all of 2000, has increased 4.1 percent, seasonally adjusted, thus far in 2001. Grocery store food prices also have risen at a rate of 4.1 percent seasonally adjusted in the first quarter. The CPI-U, excluding food and energy, advanced at a 3.5 percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) in the first quarter of 2001 following a 2.6 percent rise for all of 2000. The acceleration in the first quarter reflects the rising cost of both services and commodities. The index for services, less energy services, rose at a rate of 4.2 percent SAAR after advancing 3.4 percent in all of 2000. In particular, the rising costs for shelter and for medical care services contributed to the acceleration. The recent increase in healthcare costs mainly reflects the increases in the cost of professional services.
