These data are from the Producer Price Indexes program and are not seasonally adjusted. To learn more, see “Producer Price Indexes — March 2015” (HTML) (PDF). Producer price indexes measure prices that U.S. producers receive for goods, services, and construction. All producer price indexes are subject to revision once, 4 months after original publication, reflecting late reports and corrections by respondents.
