New business record
Consumer income—the major broad
monthly indicator of business—in July
was at an annual rate of $407 billion,
starting off the third quarter somewhat
above the June figure and $3 billion
above the record second quarter figure
of $404 billion. Wages and salaries in
July were up from June, while changes
elsewhere in personal income were small
and largely offsetting.
The second quarter value of gross
national output—analyzed in detail in
a following section—rose to the record
annual rate of $505 billion as a result
of a further gain of $9 billion—2 percent—in final purchases. This gain was
principally in real volume. It was
partially offset by tapered investment
in inventories.
Accumulation of business stocks has
been on a diminishing scale with supplydemand conditions better balanced,

in reduced profit margins. Markdowris

tions embraced: (a) reducing the discount rate; (b) open market purchases
of government securities to improve
the reserve position of the member
banks; and (c) a change in effective
reserve requirements so as to permit
more intensive use of member bank
cash holdings and thereby increase the
availability of credit.
Final purchases higher
Consumer purchasing in early summer has been well sustained. The
pattern of buying, however, has been
mixed. Service expenditures are up,
nondurable goods purchasing is steady,
while sales of durables lag. July sales
of new cars were lower than in the
same period of last year and were at
a seasonally adjusted rate below earlier
months of this year.
Business investment in plant and
equipment is moving ahead imparting
strength to some lines of machinery and
equipment. Housing investment, which
dropped substantially in late 1959, has
risen somewhat since last April. Housing starts were steady in the second
quarter, at a rate one-sixth below a
year ago, and these largely determine
current and near-term activity rates on
the site.
Government buying is continuing on
the upgrade largely reflecting the advance of State and local outlays. The
July impetus to Federal expenditures
came from the pay raise for civilian
workers recently authorized by Congress. The Federal budget picture for
the current fiscal year is not yet definitely established pending the completion of the Congressional schedule
which was resumed in early August.
Its impact upon the economy will be
reviewed when action is complete.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Durable goods output lower
Durable goods production in early
summer was off from the spring pace,
and about 5 percent below the high
achieved around the turn of the year
when steel mills and auto assemblers
were going all out to make up for the
interrupted work schedules in the
strike period. Steel output was cut
back from a weekly rate of 1,750 thousand tons in mid-June to 1,550 thousand tons in mid-July. This compares
with a high of over 2,700 thousand tons
last January. Over the past month the
operating rate has held steady at close
to 55 percent of capacity following the
almost steady spring and early summer
downtrend.
Auto assemblers have meanwhile begun the changeover to production for
the new model year and widespread
plant shutdowns have meant sharply
lowered output. July factory shipments of new cars came to 430,000,
compared with a second quarter rate of
just over 600,000, and a year-ago pace
of 550,000.
Elsewhere in manufacturing, production has been generally well maintained.
Machinery output in June was even
with the earlier 1960 pace. Among
nondurable goods lines, the prevailing
pattern was one of operations close to
or surpassing previous highs.
divergent movements, was about the
same as in the preceding quarter, or
close to a $3 billion annual rate. The
second quarter balance represents a
substantial betterment from the second
quarter of last year when a high of $4.8
billion (annual rate) payments balance
was recorded. The adverse balance resulted in a further drain upon our
resources.
Financial moves
Costs of borrowing continued to ease
through mid-summer with the markets
for U.S. Treasury issues evidencing the
most pronounced drift. The 3-month
bill rate dropped to nearly 2 percent in
early August, the lowest since the fall
of 1958. With improvement in longterm bond prices also continuing, the
Treasury floated a $2 billion, 8-year
issue at 3/s percent, the first bond issue
sold below the 4% percent ceiling since

Declines in Durable Manufacturing
Foreign trade improved
Net foreign demand continued to advance in the second quarter, contributing to the rise in total national output. The more favorable trade balance
has come almost entirely from the substantial gain in exports, with imports
up by only a small amount from the
first quarter. The export rise came
importantly in the flow of industrial
materials—such as copper and steel
mill products—and in aircraft.
While the favorable trade balance
was again up sharply from the first to
the second quarter, our total balance
of payments did not show further improvement. The expansion in the merchandise balance was apparently offset
by a corresponding rise in capital outflows and in other international pa}~ments.

early 1959. The market demand for
the new security was well in excess of
the final allotment.
Stock prices continued an erratic
course with a downward tendency.
August 1960
Industrials are close to the winter lows
and below a year ago. In view of the
reduced volume of borrowed funds involved in stock purchasing and easing
financial tendencies, the Federal Keserve in late July lowered cash margin
requirements from 90 percent to 70 percent of stock prices.
The more recent action in freeing
some member bank cash reserves provides the basis for a substantial increase
in the money supply and will become
effective beginning later this month at a
time w^hen there is normally a seasonal
increase in the demand for bank funds.
Employment little changed
July witnessed the usual seasonal dip
in the number of employees on nonfarm payrolls as schools closed and
vacation shutdowns affected manufacturing activities. At a seasonally adjusted rate of nearly 53% million, employment was little changed from the
average for the second quarter and was
more than one-half of a million above a
year ago, which was the high point
prior to the interrupted work schedules
of last summer.
Kecent employment patterns are
shown in the accompanying chart.
With the exception of durable goods
manufacturing industries, employment
has been virtually stable or on a moderately upward tilt since the early part
of the year. The decline in durables
since last February was more than
matched by gains in nondurable goods
manufacturing, trade, construction,
services and State and local governments.
Average hours worked lower
The average length of workweek is
lower than at the turn of the year or
compared with a year ago. In both of
those earlier periods the workweek was
being extended in durable goods factories in the face of threatened or existing dislocations in supplies. However, during the spring, average hours
worked tended to hold steady or to be
extended somewhat, after allowing for
seasonal influences. Basic wage rates
have continued to move higher, serving
to lift the payroll totals. In July, the
work schedule in manufacturing averaged close to 40 hours a week, a halfhour less than the year before.

1960 Model Autos Record Good Year
the accompanying higher consumer purchasing power. With progressively
higher income in each month of the
model year, consumers supplemented
their purchasing power through the
use of a large volume of auto insfc&iiment credit, readily available on terms
not much different from those prevailing last year. Automobile paper outstanding at mid-year totaled $17%
billion—some $2% billion higher than a
year earlier. The proportions of new
cars bought on credit in most months
this year exceeded those in the corresponding months of 1959; almost 63
percent of all new car sales in 1959
were partly financed by credit.
The immediate acceptance of the new
compact cars, as reflected in the rapid
sales growth of these smaller vehicles^
was also of prime importance.
Buying Patterns Change
J_ HE 1960 model domestic automobiles are ending their run in August
with an aggregate output of about 6
million cars. Production, plus imports
during the period, approximated 6.6
million units, a volume exceeded only
by the 7.2 million in the record model
year 1955. As compared to 1959, the
1960 model run was 8 percent higher,
while the number of imports was
apparently reduced slightly.
Rise in sales
Dealers' sales of domestic new cars
in the April-June quarter were running
at a seasonally adjusted annual rate
of about 6% million, somewhat above
the first quarter; sales totaled 5% million units in calendar year 1959. In
July sales fell well below the second
quarter rate, after seasonal adjustment,
partly due to the large amount of
"bonus" selling concentrated in June.
Dealers' stocks of new domestic cars
were close to 1 million units at the
beginning of August after fluctuating
within a narrow range since March.
This volume was about 100,000—or 10
percent—above a year earlier.
Foreign car registrations in the second quarter of 1960 were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of about
500,000 cars, compared to rates of
about 600,000 cars in the preceding
four quarters. This marked the first
reduction in import demand since such
cars became an important factor in the
domestic market.
Several major influences account for
the more favorable sales performance
of the 1960 domestic cars. Foremost
was the improved general business with
Average price lower
These lower-priced cars resulted in
some lowering of average costs to the
consumer. At the time of introduction, the factory-suggested retail list

little changed from comparable 1959
models—the first time in many years
that such prices had not been raised.
In the later months of the 1960 model
year, the Consumer Price Index, which
measures net prices, i.e., after cash discount or overallowance on trade-in, fell
somewhat below those of a year earlier.
The average unit retail price of new
cars fell even more as the lower-priced

compacts assumed greater importance
in the sales-mix. Average unit prices
fell about 5 percent from the first half

The steady increase in popularity of
foreign cars and of the smaller and

less favorable sales picture for the
standard models, and brought domestic

an increasingly wide scale. As noted

of Commerce.
A major highlight of the 1960 model
year is the exceptionally rapid consumer
acceptance of the "compact" cars
which accounted for one-fourth of the
output. Some 17 percent of the market
represented the compacts introduced
in 1960 for the first time. The four
newcomers accounted for about one
million cars, which raised total compact
car production to almost 1.6 million
units. Two of these smaller-sized cars
have moved up to a position behind the
two best sellers of the standard models.
In the 1955 and 1956 model years, only
about 2 percent of the U.S. auto market
was going to the smaller and compact
cars, which consisted of one domestic
car and many foreign makes. In these
comparisons, the annual figures for
imports conform with domestic car
model years. In 1957, imports more
than doubled, boosting the small car
share to 4K percent. With imports
increasing again in 1958 and the domestic smaller car doing correspondingly
well, the combined proportion for the
model year amounted to 11% percent.
The large 1958 absolute gains, it
should be noted, occurred in a sharply
reduced aggregate market.
By the 1959 model year, the domestic
production of the smaller passenger
vehicles had risen to 500 thousand cars.
With imports up to 600 thousand units,
the combined total accounted for 18

above, the 1960 model production of
compacts rose to 1.6 million cars—
about one-fourth of the entire market,
and triple the 1959 compact volume.
In the 1960 model year the compactimport combination accounted for onethird of the market, with the sharply
increased penetration from the 1959
model year attributable entirely to the
compacts. Less than a year ago imports exceeded the domestically produced compacts, which are generally
larger with more optional equipment
than are the major imported cars. In
the April-June quarter of this year
compacts outsold imports nearly three
to one, and were moving ahead while
imports had turned downward.
As a result of the highly favorable
sales, plans have been announced to
introduce four new models of the smaller
type, bringing the total to 10, or almost
one-half the domestic lines to be produced in the 1961 model year.
August 1060
tic compacts and foreign makes stands
out. The chart also shows a breakdown of the combined output of
standard model cars between the "Big
Three" and others.
From the model year 1955 to 1957,
the three largest volume domestically
produced cars extended their share of
the new automobile market from 54
to 60 percent. This increase, as well
as the inroads made by imports, reduced the output proportion of the
larger American cars from 44 percent
to 35 percent. This ratio continued
to decline through 1959, and then was
maintained this year. It may be
seen from another panel of the chart,
however, that unit output of these cars
rose in both 1959 and 1960.
Starting with the 1958 models, the
relative share of the "Big Three" began
to fall, moderately through 1959 and
sharply in 1960, when the proportion
was down to 39 percent. There was
an absolute decline in their combined
total of 700 thousand cars from 1959.
It should be noted, however, that one
newly styled car brought out in this
size and price class under a standard
name has been a market feature in 1960.
The sharp rise in compact production
in 1960 was thus apparently mostly at
the expense of their bigger "brothers"
next in line. The data further suggest
that with one notable exception internal competition along with consumer preferences had evidently resulted in the compacts taking sales
from their own companies7 standardsize cars.
Shifts in the imported car market
Total foreign car registrations in the

1960 were 3 percent below the corresponding period in 1959. Particularly hit by the increasing domestic
competition were the makes imported

On the other hand, the two most
popular imported cars of realty small

showed gains in the first half of 1960
of about 50 percent and 10 percent
over the corresponding months of 1959.
As a result, registrations of all makes

Rise Extended in Second 1960 Quarter
the distorting effects of last summer's
steel strike, the GNP data in the accompanying text table and in the adjacent chart show clearly the important
shifts that have occurred as the cyclical
rise has matured. The market areas
that rebounded most vigorously during
the recovery of 1958 and early 1959 have
played a much less important part in
the more recent increase of activity.
The types of demand which showed
little buoyancy in the earlier period, by
contrast, have moved up.

final purchases for consumption, fixed

by a slowing of inventory accumulation
from the abnormally high first-quarter
pace. The GNP at $505 billion was
up close to $4 billion from the opening
quarter of the year, at annual rates,
with about half the increase due to a
rise in physical volume and the remainder to price advances.

for this part of industrial output. The
rise of total output tapered following
the sharp spurt in the opening months
of the year (see chart). The growth
of national and personal income moderated, but both these series rose to
new highs along with the GNP. The
flow of personal income expanded in
each month of the quarter, though the
increase was less in June than in the
earlier spring months.

Outstanding among the developments of the spring quarter was the
$10 billion gain in final purchases, one
of the sharpest recorded in several
years. This imparted a strong tone to
the major part of business markets.
The latest phase of the business upswing, like the earlier recovery period,
has featured a sustained growth in
personal consumption of nondurables
and services. A similar uptrend in
purchases of State and local governments has accompanied the rise in the
requirements for public services. These
segments of the market for the national
output together absorb well over half
the total. Their strength in recent
years has mirrored the progressive advance in living standards as well as the
growth and movement of population
and the cumulative rise in the supply
of residential housing.

cers moved up in book value, while the
first-quarter rise in textile inventories
slowed.
Export demand stronger
The most recent improvement in our
foreign merchandise trade balance contributed to the second quarter increase
in GNP. At an annual rate of $2 billion, net exports for this period were the
highest since late 1957. A series of
advances since the postwar low was
recorded in the spring quarter of 1959
have stemmed primarily from expansion in merchandise exports while imports have remained on a high plateau.
The increase in our sales abroad has
been due in part to rising prosperity in
industrial nations of Western Europe
and Japan, which has given a firm tone
to demand for a number of our manufactured goods as well as for certain
industrial materials. Cotton has also
benefited from special circumstances
which resulted in an unusually high
movement in the first half of 1960, and
steel exports have moved ahead with
the growing supply.
Government purchases up
Government purchases of goods and
services advanced $1 billion to a
second-quarter rate of $98/o billion, as
the upward trend in State and local
outlays continued. Federal purchases
are little changed.
State and local buying approached
an annual rate of $47 billion, as against
$44 billion a year earlier. The expansion has been mostly in payrolls, which
are now about equally divided between
school and nonschool activities, State
and local demand for new construction, which gives rise to over one-fourth
of all purchases by these governments,
has been fairly stable for the past year.
Federal buying held approximately
even in the spring, after moderate
declines—mostly in defense spending—
in the two preceding quarters. Total
Federal purchases so far in 1960 have
been down more than $1 billion from
last year's second-half annual rate.
This decline more than offset the small
increases noted recently in transfer
payments and other non-GNP expenditures.
Federal revenues, by contrast, increased rapidly around the turn of the
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
year, on the accrual basis used in the
national income accounts. The poststrike advance in business raised corporate profits and other taxable flow^s
abruptly at that time; and increases in
social security tax rates also added to
receipts.
The Federal fiscal position accordingly shifted from a deficit for the
second half of calendar 1959 to a substantial surplus for the first half of
1960; and the Government thus wound
up the fiscal year with a surplus of
about $2 billion on national income
account. The surplus recorded in the
administrative budget, which excludes
social security transactions and differs
from the national income concept in
various other ways, was about $1
billion.
National Income
Nonfarm national income rose again
with the continued advance in production, though at a lower rate as industrial
output reflected the fading of inventory
needs. The $4% billion rise in wages
and salaries was less than the firstquarter advance.
The fragmentary information at hand
on corporate profits indicates that there
has been some decline following the
upswing recorded last winter as margins
were reduced. This adverse move in
profits had no immediate effect on the
flow of purchasing power to consumers,
as dividend payments were maintained.
Earnings of farm proprietors recorded
some improvement in the second
quarter.
Personal income, bolstered by the
gains in farm and payroll components,
rose from a $396 billion rate in the
first quarter to $404 billion in the second. This important business indicator matched the rate of increase in the
preceding quarter, continuing to give an
impetus to expanded consumer buying.
The upsurge in activity around the
turn of the year had carried income to
a record $414/2 billion annual rate for
the January-March period. This w^as
$12 billion above the preceding quarter,
and $9 billion beyond the pievious high
a year ago last spring.
August 1900
From the fourth quarter to the first,
employee earnings were up $8/2 billion.
The rise in compensation of employees,
though not quite proportionate to the
gain in total national income, was one
of the largest recorded in any recent
quarter. The sharpness of the increase
was due mainly to the rebound of auto,
steel and transportation payrolls; the
statutory advance, effective January 1,
in the rate of OASI contributions also
played a part.
Corporate profits provided $2% billion
of the first-quarter expansion. Movements were mixed among other types
of income. Earnings of nonfarm proprietors rose, as did net interest, but
these increases were partly offset by a
further fall in farmers 7 income.
Neither of the major elements in the
first-quarter spurt of employee earnings
continued into the spring, and the rise
of national income slowed in this period
despite a turnaround in farm income
and widespread strength in payrolls outside durable goods manufacturing.

General Rise in State Income in 1959
Most States Show Advances
Ranging Up to One-tenth
J_ HE flow of income to individuals
rose to new highs in nearly every State
in 1959 under the impetus of expanding demand forces.
Nationally, personal income totaled
$381 billion in 1959, a rise of $23 billion, or 6 percent, over 1958. Among
States, relative changes varied from a
gain of one-tenth to a loss of one-tenth.
By regions, percentage increases were
broadly similar throughout most parts
of the country. With consumer prices
up about 1 percent from 1958 these
advances were in the main increases in
real purchasing power.
Moderate and comparatively uniform advances in income from most
industrial sources more than offset the
geographically concentrated effect of
the major steel strike that began
shortly after mid-1959, and the more
widespread results of the downturn in
farm income. The dollar volume of
nonfarm income was a record last year,
with the increase over 1958 amounting
to 4 percent or more in every State.
Increases in aggregate current-dollar
purchasing power were closely associated with the economic size of the
regions.
Consumer incomes in the
Mideast, Great Lakes, Far West, and
Southeast—the four largest regions—
climbed between $4 billion and $6
billion each. In the Southwest and
New England States, consumer markets
were up $1^ billion, while in the Plains
and Rocky Mountain areas, the rise
was $% billion and $K billion, respectively.
Largest regional rates of income gain
in 1959 were in the Far West (9 percent) and Southeast (7 percent). In
the first, the increase was geographically
pervasive with all except one State
experiencing appreciably better-thanaverage income growth and with most
income sources contributing to this
NOTE.—The estimates of personal income

record. In the Southeast, there was
less uniformity. Seven States expanded
at a faster rate than the national pace;
one matched it; and four fell short.
In New England, the Mideast, Great
Lakes, and Southwest, regional income
gains from 1958 to 1959 held to the
6-percent average noted for the country
as a whole. In the first three regions,
a large part of the advance reflected
the sharp rebound of the manufacturing
industry from the 1957-58 cyclical
setback. In the Southwest, incomes
from most industrial sources rose at
rates that conformed approximately
to the national experience.
In the Plains and Rocky Mountain
States—major agricultural regions—•
sizable declines in farm income limited
the rise in aggregate income to 3 percent and 5 percent, respectively. In
both regions, income from nonfarm
sources rose at rates matching those in
the Nation as a whole.
State Variations
Among individual States, the degree
of income improvement differed appreciably.
Wide variations in size of
markets (States) make it relevant to
measure economic growth in both
absolute and percentage terms. Differences in the two gages appear in the
accompanying chart. The percentage
changes for all States and regions are
shown in table I. Figures from which
dollar changes may be computed are
given in table 1.
Largest dollar expansion
For the fourth consecutive 37ear, the
largest income rise—in dollars—was in
California ($3,652 million). Top gains
also occurred in New York ($2,946
million), Illinois ($1,504 million), Ohio
($1,452 million), and Pennsylvania
($1,143 million). Together, these five
States account for almost half of the
$23-billion nationwide rise in consumer
incomes last year.
New York's 1958-59 relative expansion was only fractionally larger than
that in the Nation. However, this
approximately "average" growth rate
in conjunction with an economic base
embracing one-eighth of the Nation's
total economy yielded an income incre

Florida misses this special category by
only a small margin. The large gains
scored in these two States in 1959 were
broadly based, with income from nearly
every major source advancing. The
1959 experiences thus represent extensions of above-average economic records. Both over the long span since
1929, as well as in the more current
August 19GO
postwar period, Florida ranks number
one in the Nation with regard to relative gain while California stands fifth.
In Hawaii, stepped-up economic activity was widespread with outstanding
increases in construction and services,
both of which have benefited especially
from the current boom in tourism as
well as from the large population
growth.
Largest gains in Arkansas and Mississippi came from farm income and
stemmed from an unusually large
cotton crop. Nonfarm flows in these
two States moved much the same as in
the country as a whole.
In Nevada, increases were general,
and particularly strong upward move-

State estimates of disposable income—personal income less personal
tax and nontax payments are presented in table III for selected years
1955-59. The availability of individual income tax data from the Internal
Revenue Service on an earlier schedule
has made it feasible for the first time
to prepare estimates of disposable income on as current a basis as those of
total income. Heretofore a 2-year lag
has been necessary.
These figures represent the best
measure of consumer purchasing power
available on a geographic basis. They
are intended primarily for use by
market analysts and others concerned
with the actual dollar volume of consumer purchasing power in the various
geographic markets.
Comparison of the percent distribution of total income in 1959 shown in
table I with that of disposable income
in table III indicates the close similarity
between the two measures. The percentage share of the Nation's disposable
income received by residents of the various States in 1959 differed from the
share of personal income by less than 1
percent in 33 States, and by less than
2 percent in an additional 8 States.
The largest differences were in Delaware
and Mississippi—the States with highest
and lowest average incomes. The share

Manufacturing
expands
Earnings of persons engaged in manufacturing formed the most expansionary element of the economic advance in
1959. For the country as a whole, this
industry accounted for $8 billion of the
$23 billion rise in total income. In
every region, an increased volume of
factory earnings was the largest contributor to the upturn in individual
income last year. In the heavily industrial Great Lakes States, nearly
two-thirds of the total advance occurred
in the manufacturing division.
The 1957-58 recession had focused
most directly on the manufacturing
economy of the New England, Mideast, and Great Lakes Regions, with
the last named bearing the brunt of the
decline. Conversely, factory activity
in the other five regions had been reduced least.
Recovery rates in the industrialized
sections of the country did not differ

which stems from the presence of a
strong secular growth trend.
Two exceptions to relatively uniform
regional expansion in factory payrolls
in 1959 were the less-than-average increases in the Mideast and Southwest.
The lag in the former was due to the
particularly heavy impact of the steel
strike on Pennsylvania's primary metals industry; in the Southwest it reflects
the lack of a pickup in 1959 in two of
that Region's most important types of
manufacturing—nonautomotive transportation equipment and products of
petroleum and coal.
The following tabulation summarizes
regional manufacturing expansion since
1957. Most noticeable is the net gain
made by the less industrialized regions
over the full course of the business cycle.
State changes in manufacturing
On a State basis, outstanding relative
gains in manufacturing were scored in
Florida and Arizona where the percentage increases in factory earnings
from 1958 to 1959 were almost double
that for the Nation. Although the
volume of manufactures in these two
States is still small, they rank among
the top States in rate of postwar
manufacturing growth.

economic recovery.
Disbursements
dropped $1% billion in 1959. Secondly,
Federal payrolls, both military and
civilian, advanced 3 percent from 1958
to 1959, a rate approximately one-third
as large as the increase in private
nonfarm earnings under the impetus of
cyclical recovery.
In broad fashion, Federal payroll
changes were comparatively uniform
among States and regions and hence
provided a fairly even and partial offset
to the increased flow of earnings from
private employment. Such differences
as did occur were mainly random in
terms of geographic pattern and involved the expansion or contraction of
a specific Federal activity or installation.
The decline in UI benefits was concentrated in the more industrialized
States where the impact of the recession
had been most severe. In Michigan,
for example, UI benefits fell from a
total of $375 million in 1958 to a
little less than $150 million in 1959—
and total income paid out by government declined 4 percent. Restricted by
the drop in UI benefits, income from
government rose least in the Great
Lakes, New England, and Mideast
States last year. In the other five
regions, government payments to individuals were up a uniform 6 percent.
Disbursements from State and local
governments tended to conform roughly
with the moderate gains that characterized most private nonfarm income
sources. In States where the 1958-59
change in government income from nonFederal sources diverged appreciably
from the national figure, the underlying factor was usually attributable to
the expansion in educational payrolls.
In 15 States, wages and salaries in
public education in 1959 ranged between one-tenth and one-fifth larger
than in 1958.
An exception to the foregoing generalization w^as the 2-percent decline in
income from State and local governments in West Virginia. This reduction reflected the contrast between the
disbursement of $13 million in veterans'
bonuses by the State in 1958 and the
one-half million dollars disbursed in
1959.
Other nonfarm industries
The smallest advance in any major
nonfarm income source last year was
recorded in the mining industry. Out
of the 11 States where mining constitutes a sizable proportion of aggregate
income, there were declines in 6 and
only small increases (2 percent) in 2
others. Wyoming was the sole large
mineral-producing State to register a
significant increase, and here a 13-percent advance in earnings of persons
engaged in mining added considerable
buoyancy to the total income flow.
There were continued declines in
mining in the important coal-producing
States of West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
and Kentucky.
These three States
supply about half the bituminous coal
used by the manufacturing industry in
New England, the Mideast, and Great
Lakes Regions. Although part of last
year's unfavorable experience was an
indirect effect of the steel strike, the
more basic factor is the secular decline
that characterizes the course of earnings in the bituminous mining industry.
Over the postwar period, earnings in
this industry in Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, and Kentucky declined from
a billion and one-half dollars in 1948 to
less than one billion in 1959.
In most States, changes in income
from trade and service and other distributive lines were in rough conformity with changes in the basic commodity-producing industries of the
State. Outstanding relative gains in
trade and service activities occurred in
States where population growth has
been exceptionally large and where
tourist spending constitutes an aboveaverage source of income.
Farm income declines
Agriculture income—the sum of farm
wages, supplementary labor income,
15
and the net income of farm proprietors—was the most volatile of the
major income flows last year. This
volatility in conjunction with wide
regional variations in the importance
of agriculture as an income source gave
developments in this industry special
weight in altering the geographic distribution of income in 1959.
The influence of farm income is
demonstrated by the fact that in eight
of the nine States where personal
income rose least (or actually declined)
from 1958 to 1959 the experience is
traceable directly to agriculture. Similarly, spurts of roughly one-fourth in
income from farming provided primary
impetus for the gains in overall income
registered in two of the six States with
top-ranking relative income gains last
year.
In the country as a whole, farm
income, moving counter-cyclically for
the second successive year, dipped oneeighth from 1958 to 1959. This was
the only major industrial division of
the economy to record a decline. In
the main, the smaller net return to
farmers reflected lower prices for farm
products, rising production costs, and
the elimination of the Acreage Reserve
Program (which had paid $700 million
to farmers in 1958) from the Soil Bank.
Largely because of the geographic
concentration of American agriculture
by type of farming, the foregoing
national developments had uneven effect on the total income flow. Farm
income changes in individual States,
as contrasted with the 13-percent
national decline, ranged from advances
of one-fourth in several important farm
States to reductions of more than 50
percent. In nine States, the decline
was one-fourth or more.
On a regional basis, farm income
exerted greatest influence in the Plains
States. Here, nonfarm incomes rose 7
percent, a relative advance that matched
that in the Nation. A fall off of more
than one-fourth in farm income, however, held the overall income increase
to 3 percent, lowest of the regional
rates and only half the average for
all States.

PERSONAL INCOME IN ALASKA
With the incorporation of estimates of personal income in Alaska into the tables of this
report, OBE's series on the geographic distribution of income covers all of the 50 States and
the District of Columbia. The basic table for
Alaska, prepared after an extensive field survey,
may be found on page 22. Highlights of the
State's income structure are listed below.
Personal income received by residents of
Alaska in 1959 amounted to $556 million, an
advance of 6 percent over the 1958 total of
$527 million and a rate of gain the same as that
for the Nation.
Per capita income in the State amounted to
$2,550 last year, one-fifth higher than the
national average of $2,166, and ninth highest
among all States.
Individual income in Alaska in 1959 was
three-fourths again as high as its 1950 total of
mals fell in the Plains Region as hog
prices declined below those in the
previous year. Also, crop production
was down substantially in the Dakotas
and was off moderately in Kansas and
Nebraska as wheat yields turned down
in response to less favorable weather
and a higher incidence of disease.
In the Rocky Mountain States,
second among the agricultural regions,
smaller yields of wheat and barley in
Montana and reduced cash receipts
from most farm products in Wyoming
limited the 1958-59 gain in total personal income to 5 percent, second
lowest regional rate of growth in the
country.
In the Southeast, as elsewhere, a
smaller volume of Government payments to farmers tended to reduce
farm income in 1959. However, with
the discontinuance of the Acreage
Reserve Program of the Soil Bank,
cotton acreage planted jumped more
than one-fourth. With yields holding
$319 million, a rate of growth moderately
higher than the rise of more than two-thirds in
the country as a whole. With rough allowance
for the advance in consumer prices in Alaska
since 1950, total purchasing power of individuals
in real terms has risen about two-fifths over this
period.
Of Alaska's 1959 income total, $281 million,
or one-half, was paid to residents by private
industry; $239 million, or 43 percent, by the
Federal Government; and $37 million, or 7
percent, by State and local governments.
This information is taken from OBE's forthcoming report on Alaska's income structure and
economy. Printed copies of the report which
is now in press, will be available from the U.S.
Government Printing Office and the U.S.
Department of Commerce Field Offices, at the
addresses listed on the inside of the front cover.
close to the records set in 1958, the
value of the cotton crop was up correspondingly. Most cotton-producing
States shared in this favorable situation, but in a number, the rise simply
limited the decline characterizing other
types of farming. In Arkansas and
Mississippi, in particular, the value of
cotton lint and seed produced in 1959
added more than $100 million to gross
farm income in each State, and both
scored top-ranking advances in aggregate income.
A State-by-State evaluation of the
influence of changes in farm income on
the overall income flow is best made
through a comparison of the columns
in table II showing 1958-59 changes in
total and in nonfarm income.
Technical Note
This article serves to update through
1959 the tables in our bulletin, Personal
Income By States Since 1929. In addi-
tion, revisions of estimates previously
published for the years 1957-58 are
presented in detail, while estimates of
total and per capita income in 1954-56
are reprinted for convenience of the
users. Detailed breakdowns of aggregate income for those 3 years may be
found in the August 1959 SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS.
This report, for the first time, covers
all 50 States and the District of Columbia. However, figures for Alaska and
Hawaii have not been included in the
national totals.
Table 3, which in previous reports
showed Census Bureau estimates of
population by States, has been omitted
as that Bureau has not yet adjusted its
provisional population estimates, published annually over the past decade, to
take account of results now becoming
available from the 1960 Census of Population. In order to derive estimates of
per capita income that would reflect the
most accurate population figures pres-

ently available, OBE undertook to
adjust the Census Bureau's provisional
State population figures to accord with
the preliminary count obtained in the
1960 Census of Population. Differences between the two sets of data in
1960 were spread back over the preliminary series. The resulting State
figures were used to derive the per
capita income series shown in table 2.
Because the revisions were of minor
magnitude for most States, estimates of

per capita income have not been
revised for 3'ears prior to 1954.
The Personal Income supplement to
the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS is
available from the Superintendent of
Documents, U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington 25, D.C., or from
the U.S. Department of Commerce
Field Offices at $1.50 per copy. It
contains a detailed annual record of the
income flows in each State since 1929.
The text of the report provides explanations of the concept, statistical derivation, and reliability of the estimates, as
well as an analysis of geographic income
shifts over the period.
The revisions for 1957 and 1958 were
made primarily to adjust the individual
components of the State series to new
national estimates. Also, the revised
figures take account of State distributions of data for 1957 and 1958 that
became available during the past year.
In definition, the U.S. totals in the
State series are the same as those in
national personal income with one exception. The State series excludes
(and the national series includes) the
income disbursed by the Federal Government to its civilian and military
personnel outside the continental
United States.
There is also a statistical difference
between the two sets of estimates.
Kevisions introduced into the national
totals for the years 1946-55 have not
been incorporated fully into the State
figures. Changes for the years 1946-53
appeared too minor to warrant the
extensive amount of detailed work that
would have been required to adjust the
State distributions of the industrial and
type-of-incorne components to the new
national totals. In order to minimize
the break in comparability between the
revised State income distributions for
1954 (accomplished in 1958) and those
retained for 1953, the United States
totals of certain components for 1954
and 1955 were adjusted to effect a
smooth transition between the revised
and unrevised figures.

y BUSINESS STATISTICS
X HE STATISTICS here are a continuation of the data published in the 1959 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, biennial Statistical Supplement
to the SUEVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (price $2.25) contains monthly (or quarterly) data for the years 1955 through 1958 and
monthly averages for all years back to 1929 insofar as available; it also provides a description of each series and references to sources of monthly
figures prior to 1955. Series added or significantly revised since publication of the 1959 BUSINESS STATISTICS are indicated by an asterisk (*) and a
dagger (f), respectively; certain revisions for 1958 issued too late for inclusion in the aforementioned volume appear in the monthly SURVEY
beginning with the July 1959 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 1958 and
descriptive notes are shown in the 1959 edition of

I Revised beginning August 1959 to include data for Hawaii.
9 Revised for a number of months
In recent years to reflect up-dating of seasonal factors; revisions prior to April 1959 will be shown later.
§Estimates for Alaska and Hawaii are included effective with February 1959 and
September 1959, respectively; preliminary estimate of civilian population in Alaska (Jan. 1, 1959), 153,000 persons and in Hawaii (Sept. 1,1959), 603,000 persons. Revisions for February 1957August 1958 are shown in the November 1959 SURVEY (bottom p. S-ll).
©For 1947-59 figures, reflecting adjustments of 1947-56 data to new definitions adopted January 1957 and use of
revised factors in computing the seasonally adjusted unemployment rates, see pp. 22 and 23 of the April 1960 SURVEY.
cfData beginning January 1960 include figures for Alaska and Hawaii; January 1960 estimates for these States (thous.): Noninstitutional population, 500; civilian labor force, 282; employed persons, 266; nonagricultural employment, 229. Estimates for agricultural employment and unemployment can be regarded as comparable with pre-1960 data.
