By the Office of Business Economics
JD USINESS activity showed further
improvement in March with more
segments participating in the recovery.
Where advances in total income and
output had been at best small and
somewhat limited in scope in the early
winter, by March increases were both
larger and more widespread. With the
flow of income continuing favorably,
retail sales increased to a new high and
Easter business will exceed by a goodsized amount that of last year. Personal income in March rose by $1%
billion as a result of fairly general
advances in iionfarm employment. An
increase in the output of most industries
resulted in an appreciable rise in the
Federal Reserve index of industrial
production for the first time in 7
months.
Rise in first quarter GNP
Preliminary estimates of the gross
national product for the first quarter
indicate a substantial rise from the
fourth quarter rate. A large part of the
increase over the closing months of
1962 was attributable to the advance
in personal consumption expenditures,
which included both higher spending
for goods and a $2 billion rise in service
outlays. A significant increase took
place in inventory investment.
Government purchases of goods and
services continued the upward trend
that has occurred since the beginning of
1961 . Fixed investment, still essentially
lacking in vigor, declined but was
showing improvement toward the end
of the quarter. A good part of the
fixed investment decline centered in
residential construction outlays, which
were down significantly (roughly $1%
billion at an annual rate) for the first
3 months of the year, though it appears
that unusually bad weather was in part
an influence in dampening homebuilding activity. The maintenance of
high rates of housing permits suggests
some pickup in residential activity in
the months ahead.
Plant and equipment prospects
There were a few indications that
pointed to a reversal of the sluggish behavior that has characterized plant and
equipment outlays in recent quarters,
confirming the upturn projected in last
month's plant and equipment survey.
New orders received by manufacturers
in January and February were up over
the fourth quarter and were unusually
strong in the machinery industries. The
seasonally adjusted physical volume of
contract awards for industrial and commercial buildings has been rising stead-
ily since last September and in the first
2 months of this year averaged higher
than at any other time since the current
recovery started more than 2 years ago.
Steel output up sharply
On the basis of 2 months of actual
data and an estimate for March, it appears that inventory investment was
higher in the first quarter of 1963 than
in the closing quarter of 1962. Book
values increased at least as much in the
first 2 months of the quarter as they did
in the entire previous quarter, and with
output moving ahead, early indications
point to a further significant rise.
Steel demand is apparently being influenced once again by decisions by steel
users to accumulate steel stocks for a
possible strike in steel-producing plants
in midsummer, ingot production has
been expanding sharply for the past 9
For the first time in many years, the name of M. Joseph Meehan
does not appear on the masthead of the SURVEY OF CURREXT BUSINESS.
He had been its editor as far back as 1932, the year in which computation of the national income was authorized by the Congress, and had
been Director of the Office of Business Economics since 1949.
In the words of Secretar}^ of Commerce Luther H. Hodges:
"The Nation and the U.S. Department of Commerce have lost a
distinguished civil servant in the death of M. Joseph Meehan, Director of the Office of Business Economics. His career in the Department
spanned a 38-year period, during which the concepts he helped develop
•—such as the gross national product—have become world recognized
measures of economic activity. The high esteem in which the Office
of Business Economics is held throughout professional and business
economic circles is a mark of the dedicated service of this man."
"Mike" Meehan died suddenly at his home on Sunday, March 24,
just a week prior to the Office's moving from the Commerce Building
to new quarters.

this year, however, receipts and consumption were in approximate balance,
so that inventories have remained close
to the low point of December 1962 and
are much less than the carryover of
December 1961, the start of the 1962
buying wave.
March production data by metal
fabricating industries point to a pickup
in steel consumption, but even aside
from this, lack of seasonal factors makes
difficult a careful assessment of the steel
inventory buildup that seems to be suggested by the unadjusted March production data. In any case, it should be
borne in mind that durable goods manufacturers as a group were planning a
good-sized advance in seasonally adjusted inventories in the second quarter-—about $/4 billion-—according to last
month's anticipation surveys conducted
by the QBE.

weeks and is now back to the exceptionally high level of early 1962, when
steel users were stockpiling heavily as a
strike hedge. Output in March, over 10
million tons of ingots and castings, was
8 percent above February, after seasonal adjustment; this followed a rise of
6 percent from January to February and
smaller month-to-month gains after
July 1962. For the first week in April,
production advanced further to 2.4 million tons—an annual rate of about 125
million tons (unadjusted) and some 6
percent above the March weekly average.
As shown in the chart, the rapid
buildup in finished steel inventories
held by manufacturers in early 1962 was
followed by a long period of liquidation
which continued through December of
that year. In January and February of
Consumer spending has been making an important contribution to the
growth in overall economic activity in
recent months. A brisk pace of buying in February and again in March
has pushed retail sales forward to new
highs after several months of little
change. Advance estimates for March
place retail sales at $20.7 billion, 1 percent above February, seasonally adjusted, and 7 percent above March a
year ago. Since March of 1961, which
was virtually the trough of the recession, the gain has amounted to almost
15 percent, most of which represents an
increase in the physical volume of goods.
Retail sales in the opening quarter
of this year were 2 percent above those
in the final quarter of 1962, and virtually every major line of trade contributed to the advance. Automotive
dealers' sales were little changed from
the exceptionally high fourth quarter
rate, but nondurable goods stores
showed a better performance.
The increased consumer buying at
retail stores has been financed primarily
by a larger income flow and also by
the willingness of consumers to incur
additional debt-—mainly, though not
exclusively, for automobile purchases.

March 1963. The income rise throughout this period has been persistent,
though somewhat uneven, as pointed
out further on in this issue.
Autos lead widespread sales rise
This upward movement in retail sales
has been led by vigorous sales of new
automobiles since the fall of 1961, but
other lines of trade have also participated in the favorable trend. From
March 1961 through March 1963 sale
by automotive dealers of new and used
cars and trucks, parts, and services
have increased in total about 25 percent, while all other durables were up
about one-sixth. In the most recent
months the automotive group has held
at record rates in terms of dollar receipts. Sales of new domestically produced automobiles in the first quarter
were roughly 7K million units at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, about the
same as in the fourth quarter of 1962
and not far short of the pace-setting

activity, have since moved up about
10 percent. Sales have shown considerable fluctuation during this period,
but have not fully matched the recovery
in housing outlays.
The rise in nondurable goods store
sales in the past year or two has been
somewhat more moderate than durables, although the relative price increases have been similar. Food stores,
which with current sales of about
$5 billion a month, account for well
over one-third of all nondurable goods
sales, have recorded a slow, persistent rise
somewhat faster than the increase in
population, after allowance for the 2
percent price rise since early 1961.
Food store sales have shown a quickening pace during the first quarter of
1963, largely due to higher prices.
General merchandise stores (department stores, mail order, and variety
stores) have been the leaders in the nondurable category. With a large rise
of about 4 percent in the advance
March estimates after seasonal adjustment—part of which represented a
reaction from the effect of bad weather
in many parts of the country during
January and February—the general
merchandise group is now at an alltime peak. First quarter sales for
this group were 2 percent higher than in
the final quarter of 1962.
Apparel store sales are up substantially from their 1961 low, and
have shown a moderate rise in recent
months, after seasonal adjustment;
prices have advanced less than 1 percent in the past 2 years. Sales gains
over this period have been quite similar
in the men's and boys' wear and in the
women's apparel and accessory stores.
Sales of shoe stores have shown a somewhat larger year-to-year gain than
have other clothing stores.

From July 1962 to January 1963
private payrolls, which account for
about 55 percent of total personal income, in aggregate advanced by only
$250 million per month (seasonally
adjusted annual rate) after having increased by $1 billion per month over
the preceding year. This February,
however, these disbursements advanced
$1.8 billion and in March, there was an
increase of about $1 billion.
The payroll rise since January has
reflected mainly a step-up in employment;
both hourly earnings and hours of work
have not increased much. Employment in private nonfarm establishments
rose successively in February and
March 1963, and at the end of the
quarter stood more than 300,000 higher
than the fourth quarter 1962 figure,
which in turn had fallen by 125,000
from last year's second quarter.
The chief drag on the income rise in
the second half of 1962 had centered in
manufacturing, although in nonmanufacturing industries also payroll advances were slower than they had been
earlier in the recovery that started in
1961. From the second quarter of last
year to this January manufacturing
payrolls fell slightly—from about $94%
to approximately $94 billion, at seasonally adjusted annual rates. Factory
employment fell by more than 250,000,
and hours of work were down, after
adjustment, but a large portion of this
decline in man-hours was offset by
somewhat higher average hourly earnings. A good part of the recent improvement is now taking place in those
industries in which last year's slowdown
originated, such as iron and steel, where
production worker payrolls had been
slashed by some 15 percent from last
spring to early fall as a result of the
sharp production cutbacks occasioned
by last year's steel inventory liquidation. By February total payrolls in
durable goods manufacturing were at a
new high.
Payrolls in distributive and service
industries have continued to register
good-sized advances although increases
since mid-1962 have been somewhat
smaller than those in the first half of
last year. In the rapidly growing
service group which also includes finance
and real estate, payrolls are currently

some 15 percent above those of 2 years
ago.
Continued rise in government

year, when private payrolls were advancing slowly. Rates of increase in

The strong upward postwar trend in
State and local government payrolls

Other earned income
In contrast with the behavior of wage
and salary disbursements over the past
year, property income of persons—
personal interest, dividends, and rental
income—has continued to rise at a
fairly steady pace. These three items
combined averaged close to $61 billion
(annual rate) in the first quarter of this
year and were $3%-$4 billion higher
than in the same quarter of 1962. The
effect of this increase on spending at
retail is probably less than an equivalent
increase in labor income because the
property total includes imputations
(such as imputed rents of owneroccupied homes) and because recipients
of property income generally tend to
save larger shares of their income.

rates to disabled veterans. This represented a permanent advance, as distinct
from the payment of the special life
insurance dividend to veterans this
January.
Unemployment insurance payments
have fallen considerably since insured
unemployment was at its high in the
spring of 1961. At that time, as a
result of the newty enacted temporary
unemployment program, benefits were
running at an annual rate of $6 billion
Decreases in unemployment, however
arid the cessation of the temporary
program in mid-1962, resulted in a drop
in these payments of more than 5C
percent in the summer of 1962. Since
then there has been a modest increase
in U.I. benefits.

OASI benefits are currently running

has also occurred in other government

of $10 billion. Transfers were increased

employment tax was raised from 4.7 to
5.4 percent. The employee and selfemployed portion—which is included
under "personal contributions for social
insurance"—is subtracted in arriving at
the personal income total. The latest
tax increase has raised these deductions
by approximately $1 billion at an
annual rate. When these contributions
are netted against the transfer payments
for the past 3 months it appears that,
exclusive of the special life insurance
dividend in January, there has been a
decline of about $% billion in the net
transfer payments total over the past
year.
Corporate Profits and National
Output
Corporate earnings before taxes rose
sharply in the fourth quarter of 1962 to
a record annual rate of $54 billion, up $3
billion from the third quarter. Nearly
one-third of the increase was due to a
rise in the inventory valuation adjustment which eliminates from profits inventory losses due to price declines.
Book profits, which include inventory
valuation losses rose $2 billion to an alltime high in the final quarter of 1962.
The $6 billion advance in 1962 corporate earnings over those in 1961 carried
the total for last year to a record high
of $51% billion. This relatively large
increase from 1961 to 1962 reflected the
fact that profits in 1961 as a whole were
cyclically low despite their sharp recovery in the last three quarters of the
year. Throughout 1962 profits were
maintained at the comparatively high
level set in the final quarter of 1961.
The year end increase in profits was
a continuation of the advance initiated
in the third quarter mainly in durable
goods production, normally the leader in
corporate earnings trends. The fourth
quarter gain was widespread by industry.
The additional depreciation permitted
under the liberalized guidelines issued
by the Internal Revenue Service in 1962
and the investment tax credit have been
excluded from the 1962 compilation of
corporate profits and tax liabilities. It
is estimated tentatively that these
measures will increase depreciation $2.2
billion and reduce tax liabilities by $1.8
billion.

With fourth quarter profits data now
available, national income for 1962 is
estimated at $458 billion. Apart from
the rise in corporate profits, there were
increases of $19% billion in employee
compensation, $2 billion in both proprietors' incomes and in net interest,
and a small rise in rental income.
Corporate gross product excludes production and earnings of U.S. corporations from their foreign branches and
from their investments abroad. Correspondingly, no deduction is made from
domestic production on account of foreign investments in the United States.
Because of these differences in definition, the profits total used in the following discussion is approximately $2K
billion less than the overall figures discussed in the preceding section. As
noted, the estimates of corporate profits
and depreciation used herein exclude
the effects of the 1962 liberalization of
depreciation procedures.

income, though small for the country
as a whole, was the composite of sizable
increases and decreases in individual
States. In many instances this income
source was the dominant factor influencing a State's rate of income
increase.
Manufacturing
expands
Nationally, earnings paid to individuals employed in manufacturing
rose 7 percent from 1961 to 1962, a
top-ranking rate of gain among major
industrial sectors.
Geographical unevenness characterized changes in the earnings of persons
in this industry because, in large part,
the recession had struck with uneven
force in the various States, and the
speed and extent of recovery showed
corresponding variations. These,
coupled with the substantial State
differences in the importance of manufacturing in the income structure of the
various States, gave the industry an
unusually strong influence in effecting
relative changes in the rate of income
flow last year.
In nearly all nonfarm States, factory
earnings rose at rates equaling or
bettering income increases from sources
other than manufacturing. But it
was in the Great Lakes and Southeast
that the expansion in this industry
was most p r o n o u n c e d . In both
regions, manufacturing was the economic pacesetter and was directly
responsible for boosting the rate of
income gain.
In the Great Lakes States, the rise
in personal income from manufacturing
reflected mainly a recovery from recession. In the automobile industry, in
particular, factory payrolls rose sharply,
and their impact centered in the Great,
Lakes region where three-fourths of the
industry is c o n c e n t r a t e d . It was
primarily responsible for boosting earnings of factory workers in Michigan by
more than one-tenth. Automobile

production also contributed to Indiana's
advance of 10 percent in earnings from
factory activity. In similar fashion,
there was a resurgence of income from
other durable goods manufacturing in
the Great Lakes region.
In the Southeast, increased activity
in the apparel, textile, and transportation equipment industries accounted for
most of the increases of one-tenth or
more in earnings of manufacturing employees in Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia, Mississippi, and Arkansas. To
some extent these increases, like those
in the Great Lakes, reflected cyclical
recovery, but to a greater degree they
were an extension of long-term industrial growth.
Other States with a relative gain of
one-tenth or more in income from manufacturing include Washington, Nevada,
Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona. In
all but the last of these, the overall
change mirrored developments (generally national in scope) in the one or
two industries that dominated the
States' industrial structure. In both
Washington and Utah, it was missiles
and aircraft; in Nevada, printing; while
in Arizona, the increase in manufacturing income reflected a general advance
in most of the State's manufacturing
establishments.
Farm income volatile
Nationally, farm income in 1962
was down a little—3 percent-—from
the previous year's $16 billion total.
However, the decline at the national
level was for the most part the
result of counter-movements among
the individual States, with half of them
sustaining declines and the other half
registering gains.
In general, the largest geographical
changes in farm income stemmed from
developments in crops, the most spectacular of which occurred in North
Dakota. Here, a tremendous improvement in the wheat yield, the largest output of rye since 1927, and bumper crops
of oats, flaxseed, and barley, led to a
more than threefold increase in farm
income.
Among other Plains States, unusually
large increases in farm income in
Nebraska and South Dakota—one-fifth
and two-fifths, respectively—contributed heavily to the overall income flow.
In Kansas, sharp curtailment of
wheat production was a major factor
in the drop of one-fourth in agricultural
income. This, in turn, held the relative
increase in total income to 2 percent—
one of the smallest year-to-year gains
in the Nation. Similarly, a decline in
farm income in Minnesota limited the
overall income gain significantly.
In the Rocky Mountain States other
than Colorado, farm income provided
a good boost to income as cash receipts
from livestock rose sharply and government payments to farmers were considerably above those in 1961. In
Colorado, lower cash receipts from
wheat and dairy products were mainly
responsible for a drop in agricultural
income which, in turn, held the rise in
aggregate income to 4 percent.
Government increases uniformly
From 1961 to 1962 income from
government—the total of all income
disbursements made directly to individuals by Federal, State, and local
government agencies—expanded 7 percent. The geographical uniformity of
increase was greater in government
than in any other major income
component.
The expansionary influence of government came mainly from State and
local agencies whose disbursements
were up almost one-tenth throughout

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
the Nation. In only five States did
the change in State and local government income disbursements in 1962
differ by more than 1 percentage point
from the national rate. These included
Kentucky, and the District of Columbia
where income from State and local
governments showed only a small
change. In Kentucky, the main factor
was the near completion in 1961 of the
payment of a State bonus to veterans,
while in the District of Columbia, a
leveling off in the volume of payrolls
was the major influence.
Federal disbursements rose only 5
percent in the country as a whole from
1961 to 1962, but the sharp State-byState variations in rates of change in
this income component were responsible for most of the interstate variations in total government income
disbursements.

These variations stemmed mainly
from a decline in unemployment insurance benefits and an expanded volume
of Federal payrolls in specific States.
The decline in UI payments, a concomitant of cyclical recovery, accounts
for the smallness of the rise of government disbursements in the industrial
States where the recession had hit hardest in 1960-61. These include Pennsylvania, the five States of the Great
Lakes region. West Virginia, and
Alaska.
Larger Federal payrolls explain the
pickup in government wages and salaries in the District of Columbia and
in the adjoining States of Maryland
and Virginia, as well as in Louisiana.
Arkansas, and Colorado.
Mining and transportation activity
reflected mainly the changes in manufacturing. On the whole, regional development in the extractive industries
in 1962 mirrored the demand by manufacturers for mineral products for use
as raw materials and fuel. Howevermining payrolls in nearly all major mineral-producing States moved up only
slightly or held their 1961 levels as a
result of increased automation.
Because a major portion of transportation facilities is engaged in moving
raw materials to the point of manufacture and in distributing finished products throughout the country, changes
in income from transportation last year
tended to parallel those in manufacturing. Nationally, earnings were up
4 percent, as most States and regions
conformed to the national rate of gain.
Missile site and highway construction, plus the hampering effects of a
bitter winter in many parts of the country, in 1962, accounted for most of
the State variations from the 2-percent
increase in construction earnings in the
Nation as a whole. In addition, industrial building was an important element
in Nevada's large expansion in income
from construction.

come, the regional record is a little better than that of the Nation. From a
point one-fourth above the national
figure in 1929, average incomes in the
region drifted down until at the end of
World War II, they were only one-tenth
higher than in the Nation as a whole.
Since then, they have moved up relative
to the rest of the country. Last year,
per capita income in New England was
one-seventh above that in the Nation.
New England's favorable economic
experience of the recent period appears
to be broadly based. In every major
income aggregate—total, nonfarni, and
private nonfarni—the region's record
matches that of the Nation. Moreover, earnings of persons engaged in
each major industry show an equally
favorable record.
Perhaps the most basic factor in the
recent improvement in New England's
relative position has been the change in
the region's manufactures. Since 1947,
there has been a strong shift from a
heavy dependence on textiles to a
greater reliance on the production of
electrical machinery and transportation
equipment.
Mideast
The long-term relative decline in
personal income which has characterized the economy of the Mideast continued over the past 5-year span, with
one important difference. From 1929
to 1957, the regional income lag was
largely the product of developments in
New York, Pennsylvania, and to a
lesser extent, New Jersey. Since 1957,
the less-than-average income gain of
the Mideast stems entirely from the
economic experience of Pennsylvania
and Delaware. In the other four
States of the region income gains have
]natched or exceeded those in the
Nation.
In Pennsylvania and Delaware the
rate of income growth in the recent
period was well below that of the other
States of the region and of the Nation
generally. In Pennsylvania, the relative decline stemmed from a drop of
nearly two-fifths in earnings of persons
engaged in mining and from the smallness of the rise in earnings of factory
employees—6 percent in Pennsylvania
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
compared to 16 percent nationally.
Unfavorable developments in these two
basic industries were reflected in the
distributive and service industries.
In Delaware the downtrend appears
to have centered in that State's large
manufacturing industry—where two
factors played an important part.
First, earnings of persons engaged in
manufacturing increased at a slower
pace in Delaware than in the country
as a whole; secondly, the disparity was
accentuated in the total income flow
because manufacturing is one-third
again as important a source of income
in the State as in the Nation.
Great Lakes
Gains in total and per capita personal
income in the Great Lakes States from
1957 to 1962 were smaller than those of
any other region. Total income rose 18
percent and per capita income advanced
10 percent. Comparable national rates
were 25 percent and 15 percent, respectively. In contrast, over the period
1929-57, the growth in income in this
region had about matched that of the
Nation.
This differential showing between the
Great Lakes States and the Nation centered in manufacturing, which accounts
for nearly two-fifths of all income in the
area. Earnings disbursed to individuals
employed in factories increased onetenth in the region, compared with a rise
of one-fifth in the rest of the country.
The influence of this below-average advance in manufacturing is further emphasized by the fact that the region's
relative increase in nonmanufacturing
earnings from 1957 to 1962 was also the
smallest in the country.
As noted previously, this analysis
assumes that the economy in 1962 was
at generally the same cyclical point as in
1929, 1947, and 1957. Though generally true, the fact that the Nation's
industry has been operating well below
optimum and customary rates for the
past 5 years has had an unusually dampening effect on income expansion in the
Great Lakes. To the extent that present
operating rates are a temporary factor,
the relative income lag in the Great
Lakes States in recent years may be
lessened somewhat.
11
Plains
Total income growth in the Plains
States from 1957 to 1962 matched the
all-State average of 25 percent, while
the increase of one-fifth in per capita
income ranked as the largest in the
Nation.
The 1957-62 income experience of
this region is in line with its longterm tendency to receive a constant
share of the national total of personal
income.
Developments in this region also
illustrate the versatility of the personal
income measure in assessing the
strengths and weaknesses of an area.
From 1947 to 1957, the share of the
Nation's income accruing to residents
of the Plains States declined nearly
one-tenth. Analysis of this change in
the income flow indicated that the
decline was solely a product of agricultural developments which were national in scope, and that the basic
economic strength of the region, as
measured by changes in the nonfarni
flow, was unimpaired. Figures now
show that with the halt in the decline
of farm income, there was no further
reduction in the income share of the
Plains region.
In this connection it is interesting to
note the shift in industrial composition
that has occurred during the postwar
period. In 1947, farming accounted
for one-third of all income in the
Plains, while one-seventh came from
manufacturing. By 1962, the situation had been reversed with one-eighth
originating in farming and one-fifth in
manufacturing.
Southeast
Consumer incomes in the Southeast
rose 29 percent from 1957 to 1962
compared with a gain of 25 percent
nationally.
This distinct, though
moderate, income uptrend in the region
contrasts with income changes in the
preceding decade. In the 1947-57
period, income growth in the Southeastlittle more than equaled the national
pace thus suggesting that the aboveaverage rate of economic expansion
that had characterized the region since
1929 was terminating.

The area's better-than-average income expansion over the past 5 years
was both industrially and geographically pervasive. Most major industries
have shared in the relative gain and 9
of the 12 States improved their income
position. In this connection, it may be
noted that a significant part of the
Southeast's rapid growth reflects the
exceptionally swift income rise in
Florida.
Among industries, the most important development centered in manufacturing. This industry had been the
key to the region's outstanding growth
from 1929 through 1947. It had also
been the key to the postwar tapering-off
of this relative growth. Accordingly,
the above average manufacturing expansion in the Southeast from 1957 to
1962—it was exceeded only by that in
the comparatively unindustrialized
Rocky Mountain States and the Far
West region—gives promise of a resumption of the region's earlier swift pace of
economic growth.
Although population has been a factor
in income growth in the Southeast,
average incomes have moved ahead
relative to the change in the national
figure. The region has improved its
per capita standing from a point only
52 percent of that for the Nation in
1929, to within 71 percent of it in 1957
and on to 73 percent of the nationwide
figure in 1962.
Southwest
In assessing trend developments in
the Southwest two groups of States
must be distinguished. In Arizona and
New Mexico, incomes rose at rates substantially better than those in the NaCorporate Profits—
(Continued from page 5)
In the last half of 1962, corporate output rose $6)2 billion above the figure for
the first 6 months. Of this, $3 billion
was paid out as compensation of employees; $1% billion was charged to
capital consumption allowances and indirect business taxes; while the remaining $2 billion accrued to corporations in
the form of profits before income taxes.
Since the end of 1961, when the early

tion. The increase in Arizona was
exceeded only by that in Nevada. New
Mexico's gains too, though less spectacular, were among the largest in the
country.
Developments in these two States
represent extensions of long-term growth
trends. From 1929 to 1947 and again
from 1947 to 1957 these two States
ranked third and fourth in the Nation
in terms of relative income gain.
For Texas and Oklahoma, the picture is somewhat different. Income
expansion in each matched the national
rate of growth from 1957 to 1962. In
both States, this represented a break
with past trends. In Texas, growth
from 1929 to 1957 had been outstanding; in Oklahoma it had fallen short
of the national average.
The above-average experience of this
region reflects mainly the exceptionally
rapid growth in Utah and Colorado*
In turn, the prime impetus to economic
expansion in these two States has been
manufacturing.
Earnings of factory employees in the
Rocky Mountain States, the least industrialized of any region, jumped
nearly one-half between 1957 and 1962.
In contrast, income from nonmanufacturing sources expanded at about the
same rate as in the country generally.
phase of the cyclical recovery had been
largely completed, quarterly changes in
corporate earnings relative to corporate
output have been small and offer little
insight to longer-term developments in
the distribution of corporate output.
However, it is of interest that corporate
earnings have maintained or increased
their share of corporate output for 7
quarters now since the beginning of
recovery from the 1960-61 recession.
In other postwar recoveries profits as a
percent of corporate output have de-
clined at an earlier stage in the cycle.
The full-year 1962 data moderate
the continuing decline in corporate
profits shown for the 1957 to 1962
period in the November report. Associated with the reduction in the profits
share was an increase in the proportion
of output absorbed by indirect business
taxes and capital consumption allowances. The split of the remaining
portion between employee compensation and property income does not
appear to have changed since 1957.

Size Distribution of Income in 1962
JL HE personal income of families and
unattached individuals totaled $419 billion 1 in 1962, up $23 billion from 1961.
This rise compares with increases of $14
and $16 billion in the 2 previous years.
Average income per consumer unit
was $7,140, as compared with $6,920
for 1961. The modal or most frequent
amount in 1962 was $4,720, while the
median income—the amount that divided families and unattached individuals into two equal groups—was $5,840.
The consumer units receiving this income consisted of the 47 million families
of two or more persons related by blood,
marriage, adoption, and of 11% million
individuals not attached to families.
In 1962, an estimated 10.9 million
units had incomes above $10,000. This
represented a rise of 1 million over 1961
for the comparable group. This group
constituted 19 percent of all consumer
units in 1962 compared with 17 percent
in 1961. With the upward shift of
units along the income scale increases
were also registered by the intermediate
groups having incomes of $6,000$10,000. These were estimated to contain 17.5 million families and unattached individuals, a rise of 0.8 million
over the previous year. Since the
number of new entrants into this group
is partly offset by the number of those
leaving it for higher income classes, the
proportion of units-—29 percent—is
identical with that shown in 1961.
Rise in real income
When the increase in personal income
is corrected for price changes, average
real income is found to have risen 2
percent above the 1961 level—an increase of $160 in real purchasing power.
Increases in average family incomes
have occurred in most years of rising
total income. In terms of 1962 dollars,
consumer units in 1929 had average
incomes of $4,250. By 1947, this
average had risen to $5,450, showing
an annual growth rate of real income
of 1.4 percent for the period. For the
entire period 1929-62 the average rate
of growth was 1.6 percent. The rate
for the postwar period alone was 1.8
percent with a slight decline in the
most recent period.

1. Prior to 1956 the sum of these sources will not round
to
d to
the average income shown in table 1. The above average
rage
sources are based on the revised personal income series pub->ublished in U.S. Income and Output, whereas the averagess in
hed
table I are those that accord with the previously published
distributions.
2. Includes Alaska and Hawaii.
Over the postwar period all income
Hie
components have increased. The most
OSt
rapid rate of growth has been in transfer
lei'
payments which are now 2.2 times their
^11'
1947 level. Property incomes have
tve
increased almost as markedly, and,asas
was pointed out in the April 1962
article, their receipt is more widespread
among income classes. Wages and
salaries at 1.8 times their 1947 level are,
of course, the largest single source of
income and account for about 67 percent of the total. The near stability
of self-employment income is due primarily to the relative decline in the
importance of agricultural income in
the aggregate of family personal income.
The average income from all sources of
farm operator families, data for which
are separately available, has risen only
40 percent since 1947 compared with a
rise of about 70 percent for all consumer units. The rise in income from
nonfarm self-employment was on a par
with the increase in wages.
Despite the marked rise of transfer
payments, they still account for only
a small portion of the incomes received
by families and unattached individuals,
approximately 8 percent in 1962. The
changes in their composition that have
taken place, however, have had important effects upon the family distribution
by income size. An increase in retirement income, for example, encourages
the setting up of separate households

Concentration in middle income
levels
In 1947, the heaviest concentration
of families and unattached individuals
was found in the $3,000-$4,000 income
class. With the increase in average
family personal income the modal
income has risen. This upward movement was temporarily checked by the
1954 recession. Since 1956, the mode
has been in the $4;000-$5,000 class.
As the distribution has moved upward, it has also flattened out. Instead of a high concentration in one or
two income classes, families are now
more evenly spread over the middle
income groups. In 1947, fully 50 percent of all units were accounted for in
the modal class of $3,000-$4,000 and in
the two adjacent classes. In 1962, the
same percentage of units was spread
over 5 classes centered on the modal
class. It is interesting to note that the
percentage of units in each of these
classes is quite uniform. None of them
contained more than 10.6 percent or
less than 8.5 percent of the total.
The tendency of the distribution to
contain many classes of near uniform
concentration is not to be confused
with changes in the underlying relative
distribution of income. In order to
examine the latter, it is convenient to
divide the units, arrayed in order of
size, into 5 equal divisions called quintiles. Table 11 shows such an arrangement and provides the percentage of
total income found in each quintile as

well as the upper and lower limits of
each segment.
As can be seen by examining the
percent of income received by each of
the quintiles, the relative distribution
of income has remained essentially constant over the period covered by the
table. This approximate stability of
the shares of each of the quintiles is
characteristic of the relative distribution of income throughout the postwar
period.
Impact of the Federal income tax
As can be seen from a comparison of
the proportion of income in each quintile on a before and after tax basis,
the progressive tax structure has modified the relative distribution of income.
The share of total incomes received by
the lowest quintile, for example, increased from 4.6 percent on a before-tax
basis to 5.0 percent after payment of
the Federal income tax. For the highest 20 percent of the units, the share
changed from 45.4 percent to 43.6
percent. If the changes in the tax

Percent distribution
are adopted, some change in the impact
of the tax structure on the relative
distribution of income can be expected
but cannot be appraised at this time.
It is important to note that the
effects of the progressivity of the tax
structure would be even more apparent
if additional detail were available for
the extremely high before-tax-in comes.
As can be seen from the table, the
upper 5 percent of the distribution begins at $16,430, an income point at
which the very high tax rates are not
yet effective.
BUSINESS STATISTICS
JL HE STATISTICS here update series published in the 1961 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, biennial Statistical Supplement to the SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (price $2.00) contains data by months, or quarters, for the years 1957 through 1960 (1951-60, for major
quarterly series) and averages of monthly or quarterly data for all years back to 1939; it also provides a description of each series and references
to sources of earlier figures. Series added or significantly revised after the 1961 BUSINESS STATISTICS went to press are indicated by an asterisk
(*) and a dagger (t), respectively; certain revisions for 1960 issued too late for inclusion in the aforementioned volume appear in the monthly
SURVEY beginning with the July 1961 issue. Except as otherwise stated, the terms "unadjusted" and "adjusted" refer to adjustment for seasonal
variation.
Statistics originating in Government agencies are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely. Data from private sources are provided
through the courtesy of the compilers, and are subject to their copyrights.
Unless otherwise stated, statistics through 1960
