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