SOURCES OF PERSONAL INCOME
Personal income increased $70.3 billion (annual rate) in August, after falling $15.8 billion in July. The changes
were affected by the Midwest floods and a drought in the Southeast. Excluding these factors, personal income is
estimated to have risen about three-fourths percent in August and a little less than one-half percent in July.

of month-end data for foreign-related institutions. Data beginning January 1984 are not strictly
