Prices for final demand services increased 2.0 percent from January 2014 to January 2015. Prices for trade services rose 4.4 percent over the 12-month period. Trade indexes measure changes in the margins wholesalers and retailers receive. The margin is the difference between the price a wholesaler or retailer paid for an item and the selling price of the item.

These data are from the Producer Price Indexes program. To learn more, see "Producer Price Indexes — January 2015" (HTML) (PDF). All producer price indexes are subject to revision once, 4 months after original publication; these revisions reflect late reports and corrections by respondents. Producer price indexes measure prices U.S. producers receive for goods, services, and construction.
