SOURCES OF PERSONAL INCOME
Personal income decreased $2.5 billion (annual rate) in June, after rising $27.7 billion in May. In both months the
changes were reduced by decreases in subsidy payments to farm proprietors. Excluding these payments, personal
income increased $3.4 billion in June and $38.2 billion in May.

Data are prorated averages of Wednesday figures for domestically chartered banks and averages
of month-end data for foreign-related institutions. Data beginning January 1984 are not strictly
comparable with data for earlier periods, largely because beginning January 1984 certain obligations
of States and political subdivisions are included in loans rather than in other securities.
