From the fourth to the first quarter,
total employment (household basis)
rose by an exceptionally large 1.2 million persons; on balance, almost all of
the rise came from new entrants into
the labor force. Consequently, the
average level of unemployment was
little changed, and the unemployment
rate continued at a very low 3% percent, under the 3.6 percent rate for all
of 1968. Workers with skill and experience continued to be at a premium;
the unemployment rate for married
men, for example, fell to less than 1%
percent.
Income, taxes, and saving
With the labor market tight, wage
rates continued to advance rapidly.
Weekly hours of work, which had
edged down in the fourth quarter,
rose a little in the first. In the private
sector, the combined effect of higher
employment, weekly hours, and rates
of pay was a payroll advance of $10
billion at a seasonally adjusted annual
rate, more than $1^ billion greater
than the average rise over the preceding
four quarters. Increases in wages and
salaries over the quarter showed up
in all of the main industry groups.
With government payrolls up by a
rather modest $1% billion, the total
payroll advance came to $11% billion.
Dividend payments were unchanged
in the first quarter after showing a
diminished rate of growth during 1968
and so was proprietors' income, following four quarterly gains in a row. On a
combined basis, incomes other than
payrolls rose $4 billion from the fourth
quarter. Personal contributions for

The strongest component of final
sales in the first quarter was nonresidential fixed investment. Outlays for
structures and equipment combined
rose $5% billion, one of the largest
quarterly advances ever recorded.
The strength in investment demand
is something of a surprise, partly because the developing boom comes very
shortly after the large expansion of
1964-66 and partly because pressure
on plant capacity has not appeared to
be severe in the recent period. The
substantial increases that have already
occurred and those that are planned
for later this year are probably related
to the unexpectedly sharp rises in sales
over the past year, to the strength—
despite the surtax—in the profits and
cash flow, to the desire by businessmen

in early 1969. State and local outlays
continued to increase, but for the third
straight quarter, Federal defense outlays were up only slightly. The small
rise in Federal nondefense purchases
was attributable to larger purchases of
farm products by the CCC.
Total expenditures (NIA basis) by
the Federal Government (purchases,
transfers, grants, net interest, and subsidies) rose $2% billion in the ffrst
quarter, somewhat more than had been
implied in the budget submitted to
Congress in January. Although data for
corporate tax liabilities are not available, it appears that other receipts are
running above the figure implied in the
January projection.
Review of budget
In mid-April, the Administration released new estimates of Federal expenditures for fiscal years 1969 and 1970
following its review of the January
budget. New estimates for receipts were
not provided but were promised after
the tax returns filed through April 15
have been analyzed. The new data
suggest that during the coming fiscal
year, fiscal policy will be more restrictive than had been indicated under the
January budget.
For FY 1970, the new estimates in
the unified budget put expenditures at
$192.9 billion, a downward revision of
$2.4 billion. This is the net result of
two factors that are partially offsetting.
On the one hand, the previous estimates
of expenditures have been cut by $4
billion as a result of the latest review.
This decrease is expected to be partly
offset by an upward revision of $1.6
billion, largely because of a reassessment
of the costs of farm price supports and
interest on the public debt. These same
items were chiefly responsible for an
upward change of $1.2 billion in FY
1969 expenditures.
Included in the $4 billion reduction
are cuts of $1.1 billion for defense, $1
billion for a modification of the previously proposed increase in social security
benefits, and $1.9 billion for programs
affecting almost every Federal agency.
On a national income accounts basis,
expenditures are estimated to be $1
billion higher than the previous figure
for FY 1969 and $3.2 billion lower for
FY 1970. Details are shown in the
accompanying table.
accumulation apparently extended to
both manufacturing and trade, especially retail stores. In durable goods
manufacturing, the book value data
suggest that a sharp step-up in the
accumulation of work-in-process inventories was about offset by a smaller
accumulation of finished goods and a
larger decumulation of purchased materials. The pattern was similar in nondurables, but the magnitudes were
different: The increase in work-inprocess was more than offset by smaller
additions to finished goods stocks and
a shift from accumulation to decumulation of purchased materials. The reduction in holdings of purchased maCHART 3

DISPOSABLE PERSONAL INCOME
Strike affects net exports
The dock strike at East and Gulf
Coast ports dominated the behavior of
exports and imports in the first quarter.
Most of these ports were closed through
late February, and some, through the
end of the quarter. On the basis of
figures for January and February and
an estimate for March, it appears that
exports declined more than imports.
Consequently, the export balance fell
to zero from an already low balance of
$1 billion in the fourth quarter.

terials was probably a result of the dock
strike.
Among trade companies, the reduction in inventory investment centered
in durable goods, where most types of
business showed smaller additions than
in the fourth quarter.
Price rise continues
There was no evidence of any abatement in the price rise in the first
quarter. Consumer prices—based on
data for January and February and an
allowance for March—rose somewhat
more than 1 percent, about as much as
the average quarterly increase in 1968.
After seasonal adjustment, the rise in

employment, payrolls registered their
largest monthly gain in the quarter,
and personal income rose by a substantial $5.3 billion. After an increase
in February (based on revised data),
retail trade recorded its third monthly
gain in a row, according to advance
figures. Industrial production rose 0.6
percent, as a result of increases in most
industries.
Monetary policy more restrictive
During the quarter, the Federal Reserve System moved decisively to
establish very restrictive conditions
in money and credit markets. After
increasing the discount rate from 5%
to 5K percent in mid-December, the
monetary authorities used open-market
operations to bring to a virtual halt
the expansion in member bank reserves,
the base for bank credit expansion. In
addition, they put considerable pressure on the banking system by not
taking action to raise the interest rate
ceilings on time deposits. These ceilings kept the rate paid by banks for
time deposits low relative to the rising
market rates on alternative investments, and the banks have been unable to compete for time deposits. On
April 3, the Federal Reserve again
raised the discount rate—to 6 percent,
the highest level since 1929—and simultaneously raised reserve requirements
on demand deposits at each bank by
one-half of a percentage point. The
credit tightening so far this year has
resulted in a substantially reduced
pace of money and credit expansion.
March developments
2.5
1966
nondurable goods including food slowed
down, but the rise in consumer durables
accelerated—reflecting higher car prices
in particular. Prices of services registered another large increase. Wholesale prices advanced approximately
1% percent from the fourth to the first
quarter as a result of widespread
increases.
April 1969
Most of the broad indicators—personal income, nonfarm employment,
industrial production, and retail
trade—showed increases in March.
The labor market figures gave a
hint of a somewhat slower rate of
expansion than earlier in the quarter.
For example, the rise in employment
in nonfarm establishments—150,000—
was about half the average monthly
increase in the preceding 5 months;
moreover, the overall unemployment
rate rose from 3.3 to 3.4 percent. In
addition, housing starts declined. Notwithstanding the slower expansion in
Auto Production and Sales
Decline
Sales of passenger cars in the model
year that began in October 1968 have
fallen from the very high levels reached
in the third quarter of 1968. For domestic and imported cars combined,
sales fell from a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of 10.0 million units in the
July-September 1968 period to 9.4
million in the first 3 months of this
year, a reduction of 6 percent. Auto
production has been cut back as demand has lost some of its buoyancy and
new car inventories have increased to
record levels.
Domestic-type cars accounted for
most of the reduction in sales. Sales
drifted moderately lower through January, recovered strongly in February,
partly because of dealers' contests and
shortages of imported cars, and then
declined sharply in March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 7.8 million
units. Early April witnessed a distinct
improvement. For the first quarter as
a whole, the selling rate was 8.4 million
as compared with 8.7 million in the
fourth quarter and 9.0 million in the
third.
Sales of imported foreign cars continued steadily upward through 1968
and for the full year totaled 950,000
units, more than 10 percent of the
U.S. market. From last October through
January, imports held at a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of almost 1.1
million units, but in February and
March, the rate fell below 1 million
units, chiefly because of the dock strike.

cars following the very rapid pace of
sales in the changeover period last summer. With production rates set high
and in excess of sales, stocks increased
100,000 units by the end of December.
At that time, stocks were the equivalent
of 2.1 months of sales, somewhat higher
than the ratios prevailing in other quarters of high sales. Despite production
cutbacks in the first quarter, stocks rose
further by 115,000 units, reaching a
total of 1.63 million at the end of March,
the highest seasonally adjusted figure on
record. End-of-March stocks were 2%
times the average monthly sales in the
first quarter.
Spring production plans
Assemblies of passenger cars in March
totaled 760,000 units. After seasonal
adjustment, this represented no change
from February, which in turn was the
lowest rate in more than a year. Present industry plans call for 780,000
assemblies in April and 2.34 million for
the entire second quarter. In seasonally
adjusted terms, the fulfillment of these
projections would mean a continuance
of the February-March production rate
and a slight reduction from the first
quarter pace.
According to trade sources, the industry has geared its current production
schedules to match anticipated sales
during this quarter; that is, it expects
to maintain the end-of-March level of
car inventories through the spring selling season. The industry has high hopes
of repeating the near-record sales of
last summer, which benefited from the
large supply of cars in dealers' showrooms during the model changeover
period.

especially pronounced for government.
Agricultural prices registered a sizable
advance after a very marked decline in
1967. For private nonfarm business as a
whole, last year's 3.6 percent price rise
was only slightly different from the rise
recorded in 1967.
Changes in real output
The larger demand for goods in all
final markets and the continued upturn in residential building led to a 7
percent increase in manufacturing production in 1968, a striking contrast to
the gain of only 0.4 percent in 1967.
Within manufacturing, advances were

Most industries contributed to the
accelerated production and price increases of 1968. Production rises were
especially large in manufacturing and
distribution, which had shown only
modest changes in 1967. For private
nonfarm business as a whole, last year's
substantial price increase was little different from the 1967 advance. A swing
in the farm deflator, from a large decrease in 1967 to an increase in 1968,
and a step-up in the Government deflator accounted for much of the acceleration in the rise of the overall GNP
deflator.
MOST industries contributed to last
year's accelerated advances in both production and prices. Production (as
measured by constant dollar GNP) rose
5 percent after a 2% percent gain the
year before while prices (as measured by
the GNP deflator) were up 3.8 percent
following a 3.1 percent rise in 1967.
The step-up in the output rise was
especially large in nonfarm industries
producing and distributing goods—notably manufacturing. As a group, these
cyclically sensitive industries accounted
for about three-fifths of the 1968 advance as compared with only onefourth in 1967. In contrast, agricultural
output showed a small decline after an
unusually large rise the year before
(table 1).
Although price deflators for most industries recorded sharper increases in
1968 than in 1967, the acceleration was

roughly equal for durables and nondurables; durables had declined slightly
from the year before, while the 1967
output for nondurables was only slightly
higher than in 1966.
With consumer demand for goods
especially buoyant, trade registered a 4
percent rise, principally because of
gains in retailing; the advance in trade
was more than twice that of the year
before. The larger output of goods also
stimulated transportation activity in
1968, which was up 4.6 percent as
against 3.5 percent in 1967 (table 2).
The pattern of production change in
service-type industries was rather mixed.
Communications and electric and gas
utilities showed gains as large as or
slightly larger than in the preceding
year; these industries are dominated by
strong growth trends and were not
much affected by the slower rate of
advance in total output in 1967. All
segments of the finance, insurance, and
real estate industry contributed to the
higher rate of expansion for this group,
the principal gain being made by banks.
On the other hand, output of government and industries providing personal
and professional services increased more
slowly in 1968 than in 1967. The slowdown in the former was primarily at-

tributable to the Federal Government,
where the 1968 advance was half that
of 1967. Slower growth in Defense
Department employment and restrictions on Federal hiring after mid-1968
were the main factors in this slackening.
Price changes
The 3.8 percent rise in the GNP
deflator in 1968 was the largest since
1947. Prices for all industries rose in
1968, varying from 0.4 percent for
communications to 5.6 percent for
government (chart 9).
As noted above, price changes in
agriculture and government account for
much of the step-up in the overall price
rise from 1967 to 1968. Changes in the
government deflator reflect changes in
average compensation of government
employees, Federal workers received
pay increases in late 1967 and mid-1968.
The deflator for farm gross product rose
3.8 percent in 1968 after a decline of 9.4
percent in 1967. This occurred as prices
received by farmers for their output
fell from 1966 to 1967 and rose from
1967 to 1968, while prices they paid for
their supplies remained practically unchanged over the 2-year period (table
3).
In the private nonf arm business sector, prices rose 3.6 percent in 1968,

costs were up only 1.6 percent, after a
4.8 percent rise in 1967. This lesser rate
of increase in unit labor costs was the
chief factor in the slower price advance
in manufacturing in 1968. In nonmanufacturing, where the rise in unit labor
costs accelerated, the price rise showed
a step-up.

Although price increases in the nonfarm business sector were approximately
the same in 1967 and 1968, the composition of the changes in terms of unit
costs and profits was different. Unit
labor costs rose somewhat less in 1968
than in 1967 even though they recorded
substantial increases in both years
(table 3). In 1967, when demand was
comparatively sluggish, most industries absorbed higher unit costs in the
form of lower profit margins. In contrast, under the buoyant demand conditions of 1968, price increases reflected
not only higher unit costs but also

Personal Income, 1968, and Disposable Ineome, 1929-68,
by States and Regions
This article presents preliminary
estimates of personal income by States
and regions for 1968 and comparable
estimates of disposable (after-tax) personal income from 1929 through 1968.
Regional gains in personal income
from 1967 to 1968 followed the longterm pattern, with larger-than-average
advances in the South and West. The
pattern of change in disposable income
among States and regions over the long
run is similar to that of personal income.

traceable to declines in agricultural
earnings.
Income in 1968
Personal income in the United States
rose 9 percent from 1967 to 1968.
Regional income gains generally followed the pattern of the past four
decades, with larger advances in the
southern and western regions than in
the northeastern and north central
ones. In total, income in the three faster
growing regions rose 10 percent last
JL ERSONAL income rose in all eight year, 15 percent above the 8% percent

The largest gains were in the SouthIn seven of the eight regions, increases
were within one-half percentage point west (10% percent), the Far West
of the 2 percent national average gain (10% percent), and the Southeast (just
over 9 percent); the smallest, in New

As usual, changes in farm income England (8 percent), the Mideast (8%

In contrast to the experience of

dropped sharply and gains in a number
of other industries were below average.

in the closing quarter—North Dakota
Last year, rates of gain in nonfarm and
total income were quite similar in
every region, and the rank order of
the regions remains the same when
measured on either a nonfarm or a
total income basis.
As the accompanying table shows,
the 1968 income advance in the Southwest, which led the Nation, is traceable
to above-average gains in nearly all
major industries. In particular, income
from farming, manufacturing, trade,
mining, and the transportation-service
groups rose very rapidly in this region.
Above-average gains in the major
industries of the Far West were fewer,
the most noteworthy occurring in
farming, trade, finance, transportation,
and Federal military payrolls. In the
Southeast, income from farming declined a little, but this decrease was
more than offset by large gains in
manufacturing and trade.
Earnings from most industries advanced at a relatively sluggish pace
that was well below the national
average in the two regions—New England and the Mideast—where income
went up the least. Manufacturing
earnings rose 5% percent in New England and 6% percent in the Mideast,
as compared with the U.S. gain of
8% percent.
Disposable Income by States and Regions
NOTE.—The estimates of State personal income were prepared in the Regional Economics Division under the supervision of Q. Francis Dallavalle. The quarterly estimates
were constructed by Marian Sacks; the tax estimates by
Jeanne Goodman and Kemble Stokes; the annual personal
estimates by Margaret Cannon, Elizabeth Queen, Lyle
Spatz, Linnea Hazen, and Maurice Schlak.

nomics has updaded its State estimates
of disposable personal income, which
previously covered the period through
1963. The State disposable income
series incorporates the revisions introduced into the national income and
product accounts in mid-1965.
An analysis of the new series indicates that most changes in disposable
personal income are closely in line with
changes in total personal income (tables 3 and 4). The relative rate of
economic growth in each State is about
the same whether expressed in personal
income or in disposable income.1
In 1968, personal income in the 50
States and the District of Columbia
totaled $682 billion (table 7). With
personal tax and nontax payments of
$96J^ billion, disposable income
amounted to $585^ billion, or 86
percent of total income. Tax and nontax payments to the Federal Government were $79 billion, of which about
$74^ billion was in the form of income
taxes. Most of the remaining taxes
were estate and gift taxes; Federal
personal nontax payments are very
small.
Individuals paid a total of $17% billion in personal taxes and nontax payments to State and local governments
in 1968. A little less than $8 billion of
this was in the form of income taxes.
An additional $1 billion was paid to
State and local governments under each
of three categories in 1968: motor vehicle licenses, death and gift taxes, and
property taxes (mostly non-real estate).
Revenue under "Other taxes/' including hunting and marriage licenses and
other personal licenses, totaled about
$% billion in 1968. Payments of about
$6}o billion were made to State and
local governments in the form of "non-
SUKVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
tax" and other payments, which include
tuition to State and local schools, and
charges for hospital services, sanitation
facilities, other current services, and
fines.2
2. State and local sales taxes and most real property taxes
are not classified as personal tax and nontax payments in the
national accounts. In 1968, revenue of State and local governments from these taxes totaled about $44 billion. Because
some States rely heavily on sales and property taxes (and
collect less in income taxes) and other States levy relatively
high personal income taxes (and rely less on the sales and
property taxes), a State comparison of "tax effort," of revenue raised, or of tax burden based on the State and local tax
component of the personal account, would not be meaningful.

1. Personal income is the income received by residents of
each State from business establishments, Federal and State
and local governments, households and institutions, and foreign countries. All forms of income flowing to persons from
these sources are included—wages and salaries, various types
of supplementary earnings termed "other labor income,"
the net incomes of owners of unincorporated businesses
(including farms), net rental income, dividends, interest,
and government and business "transfer payments" (consisting in general of disbursements to individuals for which no
services are rendered currently, such as unemployment
benefits, relief, and veterans' pensions). Allowance is made
for income received in kind rather than cash.
State disposable income is equal to personal income less
personal taxes and nontax payments. The latter are described
in the text.
*The standard deviation divided by the mean of the regional growth rates.
. U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Business Economics
Despite the large amount paid in
personal tax and nontax payments,
there is comparatively little difference
in the geographic distribution of personal income and disposable income.
Mainly because of the progressive nature of the Federal income tax, States
with per capita incomes above the
national average have smaller shares
of income after taxes than before.
States with low average incomes, on the
other hand, have larger shares of disposable income than of personal income.
However, the extent of the difference is
small. In 41 States, the share of personal and disposable income differed by
3 percent or less. In nine, the shares
differed by from 3 to 7 percent. The
differences between the State distribution of personal income and disposable
income are small because personal taxes
make up only about 14 percent of
personal income.
Long-Term Trends in
Disposable Income

The remainder of this section presents
a summary of long-term trends in the
geographic distribution of disposable
income. Changes in the geographic distribution of personal income and of
disposable personal income have been
detailed in, numerous articles in the
SURVEY and its supplements.3 Accordingly, the following summary is a
recapitulation of those earlier reports
with an updating where income developments of the past 5 years warrant.
The past four decades have witnessed
a pronounced shift of disposable income from the North and East to the
South and West. Between 1929 and
1968, the four southern and western
regions have increased their share of
the Nation's disposable income 50
percent, with the four northeastern
and north-central regions sustaining
the relative loss.
Among individual regions, the strongest uptrend has been in the Far West;
increases in the two southern regions
have been roughly equal and, although
s See, for example, the April 1965 and 1968 issues of the
SUKVEY and Personal Income by States Since 1929, a supplement to the SURVEY (1956 edition).
April 1960
substantial, have been well below the
gain in the Far West. The Rocky
Mountain States received a small but
significant increase in their share of the
Nation's disposable income over the
four decades.
New England and the Mideast sustained by far the largest relative
declines in income share. Losses in the
Great Lakes and Plains States were
about half as large.
In general, regional income trends
have persisted for the period covered
by this income series, but four significant departures may be noted.
First, over the entire span 1929-68,
the Rocky Mountain region increased its
share of the Nation's disposable income
by 15 percent. However, most of this
gain was registered before and during
World War II. From 1948 to 1960, the
area's share increased less than 3 percent, and since 1960, its share has
declined. Although it is too early to
draw definite conclusions, there is a
possibility, perhaps even a strong one,
that the Rocky Mountain region has
reversed its income trend from one of
above-average growth to one of relative
lag.
Second, the Great Lakes region,
which had been classified as either
trendless or as having a slightly declining trend on the basis of developments
during the 1930's and 1940's, evidenced
a persistent and significant downtrend
during the 1950's. This downtrend was
mitigated somewhat during the 1960's.
In retrospect, it appears that the increased demands that the Great Lakes
economy received as a result of World
War II and the subsequent durable
goods boom provided a powerful but
short-term boost to the region. This
was only partially repeated (and to a
significantly lesser extent) during the
1960's, under similar circumstances of
increased war production and another
durable goods boom.
Third, the Southeast, whose relative
gains equaled those of the Far West
from 1929 through 1948, made only
small comparative advances over the
next 12 years. This slackening in the
region's growth rate brought into question the permanence of its war-period
gains. However, since 1960, the Southeast has again increased its share of the
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Nation's disposable income, the relative
gain of nearly one-tenth has been the
largest of all the regions.
Finally, income growth in New England lagged substantially during World
War II. Between 1940 and 1948, the
region lost nearly one-fifth of its 1940
share—the largest relative decline sustained by any region over a period of
comparable length. During the 1950's,
when the region had lost most of its
textile industry and was developing new
and rapid-growth industries, its relative
decline was reduced considerably. So
far during the 1960's, income growth in
19
the region has virtually kept pace with
that in the Nation, but whether this
portends a reversal of trend remains to
be seen.
Per capita incom.e and population
Geographic changes in the distribution of disposable income are the product of shifts in both population and per
capita income. Although it is not possible to measure precisely the contribution that each makes to disposable
income growth, it is evident from the
accompanying tabulation that both
population and per capita income

played major roles in altering the
geographic distribution of disposable
personal income over the 1929-68 span.
In five of the eight major regions of
the Nation, the effects of population
and per capita income changes were
mutually reinforcing, lending support
to the thesis that people migrate to
areas of economic opportunity and away
from regions of less economic potential.
In the Southwest and Rocky Mountain
regions, above-average increases in population and per capita income contributed heavily to the relative advances in
disposable income in both regions. In
the Great Lakes, Mideast,, and New
England sections, below-average gains
in both factors combined to produce
less-than-average growth rates in disposable income.

The experience of the Far West
underscores the effect of economic
opportunity on population growth. In
response to strong increases in the
demand for labor, large numbers of
wage earners migrated into this region;
the more productive groups were accompanied by young and untrained
workers, and by older and retired
persons who were attracted by climate
and other noneconomic factors. So
great was the attraction of the area
that immigration exceeded the ability
of its economy to absorb the newcomers
and maintain a rate of per capita
income growth equal to that of the
Nation. However, the region's lag in
average income expansion was more
than offset by a tripling of population—
nearly three times the national rate of
increase. Consequently, the region
scored the Nation's top ranking gain
in overall disposable income.

among the regions—reflected the combination of a massive outmigration
of Negroes, including many tenant
farmers, seeking both social and economic advancement and a large inmigration of better trained persons
attracted by the developing industrialization of the area. The Southeast's
upsurge in per capita income resulted
from the replacement of Negroes with
relatively low incomes by higher income Federal employees and industrial
workers taking advantage of the expanding nonfarm economic opportunities of the area. This exchange shifted
the industrial structure of the area
from a type featuring agriculture of
less-than-average productivity to one
more like that in the Nation, with
manufacturing the principal basic
industry and government a not too
distant second. Finally, the replacement
of farming in the economy by manufacturing plants and Federal installations absorbed much of the underemployment that had long characterized
the area, and that to an undesirable
extent still does.
In the Plains, the rapid mechanization of agriculture and the resulting
rise in productivity had opposing effects
on population and per capita income.
As average output per worker on the
farms of the region rose rapidly, the
number of farms declined, and there
was a reduced demand for labor, which
resulted in an outmigration of workers.
As a consequence, the Plains experienced the slowest population growth
of any of the regions. However, the
productivity and thus the earnings of
those remaining increased rapidly, and
per capita disposable income of the
Plains rose at the third fastest rate in
the Nation.
SUEVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS
relative changes in per capita disposable income from 1929 to 1968, shown
in the second panel of chart 12, are in
precisely the reverse order of the level
of per capita income in 1929 shown in
the top panel.
On a State basis, the situation is
even clearer. Of the 34 States that in
1929 had average disposable incomes
below the national average, 29 showed
above-average rates of growth in per
capita income over the next 40 years.4
In only four were increases in per capita
incomes less than in the Nation.
Three of these were in New England—
Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont—
and in each the relative lag was 1
percentage point. In Wyoming, the
lag was 5 percentage points.
Conversely, of the 15 States with
above-average per capita disposable
incomes in 1929, all except one scored
below-average gains in per capita disposable income from 1929 to 1968. The
sole exception was the State of Washington, where the recent economic
growth, sparked mainly by aerospace
activities, pushed the relative position
of the State's per capita income in 1968
two percentage points above its 1929
level.
A summary measure of this convergence is obtained by computing the
coefficient of variation, which is defined
as the standard deviation divided by
the mean of the State per capita incomes. As the text table shows, the
coefficient of variation in per capita
income was more than cut in half (57
percent) from 1929 to 1968. From the
accompanying text table, it is evident
that most of the reduction in State
differences in per capita incomes occurred between 1940 and 1948, particularly during the early years of World
War II. In those years, military inChanges in per capita disposable

April 1969
During the decade following the
close of the war, movements in regional per capita incomes suggest that
the regional convergence toward the
national mean was tapering off. Indeed,
from 1948 through the midfifties, there
was little net change in the inequality
of per capita incomes. With the resumption of rapid economic growth in
the early 1960's, per capita incomes by
States and regions appear to have
resumed—but at a slower pace—their
pronounced convergence toward the
national mean.
The corollary of this convergence
has been a decided relative reduction
in the inequality of per capita income
among regions and States as well. In
1929, per capita incomes ranged from
a low of $269 in South Carolina to a
high of $1,164 in New York—a difference of well over 300 percent. In 1968,
the extremes were $2,057 in Mississippi
and $4,231 in Connecticut—a difference
of just over 100 percent. Although the
dollar difference between States with
the highest and the lowest per capita
incomes has widened—from $895 in
1929 to $2,174 in 1968—it should be
noted that the base against which the
gap is measured has increased
substantially.

CURRENT BUSINESS STATISTICS
JLHE STATISTICS here update series published in the 1967 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, biennial statistical supplement to the SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (price $2.50) provides a description of each series, references to sources of earlier figures, and historical data
as follows: For all series, monthly or quarterly, 1963 through 1966 (1956-66 for major quarterly series), annually, 1939-66; for selected series,
monthly or quarterly, 1947-66 (where available). Series added or significantly revised after the 1967 BUSINESS STATISTICS went to press are indicated
by an asterisk (*) and a dagger (t), respectively; certain revisions for 1966 issued too late for inclusion in the 1967 volume appear in the monthly
SURVEY beginning with the September 1967 issue. Also, unless otherwise noted, revised monthly data for periods not shown herein corresponding
to revised annual data are available upon request.
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.
