• NEW An Analysis of Southern energy expenditures and prices, 1984-2006 . In the South, where heavy usage of electricity and gasoline causes consumers to spend a larger-than-average share of their budgets on energy-related goods and services, energy prices have increased sharply in recent years. On the whole, however, energy expenses actually made up a smaller share of Southern budgets in 2006 than they did in 1984.



• Discontinuance of mailing paper copies of the South Consumer Price Index (CPI) Summary

As of April 1, 2008, subscribers will no longer receive paper copies of the South CPI Summary (Atlanta Blue Card) in the mail. The South CPI Summary will continue to be available through the Bureau’s Web site.

A free email subscription service is available for the CPI announcement. Shortly after the CPI announcement is posted online each month, subscribers to this service receive an email message containing a link to the announcement. The subscription form with a list of available regional office CPI summaries (blue cards) is located at http://www.bls.gov/bls/list.htm.

The mailing of regional CPI announcements (summaries) and other regional publications is being discontinued as a result of unanticipated budget constraints faced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. See http://www.bls.gov/bls/budgetimpact.htm for details.
