SOURCES OF PERSONAL INCOME
Personal income fell $16.5 billion (annual rate) in October, following an increase of $91.2 billion in September.
Wages and salaries increased $32.9 billion in October, following an increase of $27.3 billion in September. Personal
income in September had been boosted by increases in subsidy payments to farm proprietors and to owners
of leased farmland, which affected farm proprietors’ income and rental income of persons. Excluding these payments,
personal income increased $40.7 billion in October and $30.6 billion in September.
