Personal income
In June, personal income increased, primarily reflecting an increase in compensation that was partly offset
by a decrease in personal income receipts on assets.
•

Within compensation, the increase was led by private wages and salaries, based on data from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Current Employment Statistics (CES). Services-producing industries
increased $46.9 billion and goods-producing industries increased $8.9 billion.

•

Within personal income receipts on assets, a decrease in personal dividend income was partly
offset by an increase in personal interest income.

BEA data—including GDP, personal income, the balance of payments, foreign direct investment, the input-output accounts, and
regional economic data—are available at www.bea.gov. E-mail alerts are also available. Estimates of July 2023 Personal Income
and Outlays will be released on August 31, 2023.

Consumer spending
