SOURCES OF PERSONAL INCOME
Personal income rose $28.6 billion (annual rate) in July, largely as a result of cost-of-li.ving adjustments totalling
about $17% billion to several transfer payment programs, including an increase of about $16 billion in social security
benefits. In addition, increased payments under black lung and trade adjustment assistance programs added $4%
billion to July income. Wages and salaries declined $1.7 billion in July, following a $2.8 billion increase in June.

professionals, nonprofit institutions, and real estate firms, and certain outlays
charged to current account.
