SOURCES OF PERSONAL INCOME
Personal income rose $74.0 billion (annual rate) in January, following an increase of $37.6 billion in December.
(The changes were affected by several special factors: A pay raise for Federal Government employees, cost-ofliving adjustments to several Federal transfer payment programs, and changes in contributions for social insurance
programs affected the January change, and subsidy payments to farm proprietors affected both the January and
December changes. Excluding these special factors personal income increased $68.4 billion in January and $32.2
billion in December.
