About this series
What it measures
The 12-month percent change in the Producer Price Index for final demand, not seasonally adjusted: the average change in selling prices received by domestic producers for goods, services and construction sold to final buyers. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes it monthly, usually in the second full week of the following month.
Why it matters
It tracks prices from the seller's side, a different vantage point from consumer prices, and covers services and construction as well as goods.
Common misreads
It measures prices producers receive, not what consumers pay, so it is not the same as CPI; taxes, subsidies and distribution costs can make them differ. Final demand data begin in November 2009, so longer comparisons rely on older, narrower indexes.
