The changes were affected by several special factors The February change was boosted by farm subsidy payments and by a speedup of life insurance dividends to veterans included in transfer payments The January change was reduced by a decrease in farm subsidy payments and by December bonus payments to motor vehicle industry employees The January change was boosted by cost of living adjustments to several Federal transfer payment programs an increase in unemployment insurance benefit payments and a pay raise for Federal Government employees Excluding these special factors personal income increased 42 5 billion in February the effects of these factors on the January change were offsetting BILLIONS Of DOLLARS RATIO SCALE 5 000 BILLIONS OF DOLLARS RATIO SCALE WAGE AND SALARY
