SOURCES OF PERSONAL INCOME
Personal income increased $30.3 billion (annual rate) in May, after rising $5.5 billion in April. The changes were
affected by two special factors. In both months the changes were reduced by decreases in subsidy payments to
farm proprietors. The April increase in rental income of persons was boosted by a rebound from the effects of the
East Coast storm, which had reduced the March level. Excluding these special factors, personal income increased
$40.8 billion in May and $18.5 billion in April.
