STATE PERSONAL INCOME: SECOND QUARTER 2002

Personal income growth for the nation was 1.3 percent in the second quarter 2002, roughly the same as in the first quarter (1.2 percent), and up from an average of 0.5 percent for the four quarters of 2001, according to estimates released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. Growth in the second quarter reflected faster growth in larger states such as California, New York, and Texas, that more than offset a slowdown in growth elsewhere.

For the nation, personal income growth was little changed, as an upturn in dividends, interest, and rent was largely offset by a slowdown in transfer payments. Earnings growth was unchanged. The upturn in dividends, interest, and rent was due in part to step-ups in the growth in rental income of persons and in interest income, the latter reflecting faster accumulation of interest-bearing assets. The slowdown in transfers followed a typical first-quarter uptick, when cost-of-living adjustments boosted payments for social security and other federal programs.

State Personal Income Growth in Second Quarter of 2002

The states in the top quintile of personal income growth in the second quarter of 2002 were Nevada, South Dakota, Rhode Island, Colorado, Delaware, Oklahoma, Michigan, Virginia, South Carolina, and Arkansas. All of these states except Colorado, Michigan, and Virginia had above-average growth over the four quarters since the second quarter of 2001.

By industry, all 10 states had increases in manufacturing earnings, reflecting increases in average weekly earnings due to overtime paid to employees. In most of these states, earnings in services, government, and retail trade also contributed to growth (tables 3 and 4).

  • Nevada led the nation in earnings growth in government, retail trade, and finance, insurance, and real estate. Nevada's personal income grew at almost double the national rate during the last four quarters, with most of the growth occurring in the last two quarters.
  • In Colorado, earnings in construction, transportation and public utilities, and finance, insurance, and real estate contributed to earnings growth. While personal income growth in Colorado picked up in the second quarter, its average growth during the last four quarters was below the U.S. average.
  • In Delaware, an increase in construction earnings was the major contributor to growth. Growth in nondurable goods manufacturing, mainly chemicals and related products, was the second major contributor to earnings growth. During the last four quarters, personal income growth in Delaware was almost double the national average.
  • In Michigan, the relatively fast growth in manufacturing earnings partly reflected overtime payments in the motor vehicles sector, while at the same time, transfer payments (particularly unemployment benefits) increased second-fastest in the nation. Personal income growth in Michigan picked up in the second quarter, but its growth was below average during the last four quarters.
  • In Virginia, earnings in transportation and public utilities contributed. Increases in nondurable goods manufacturing earnings were concentrated in the chemical, textile, tobacco, and food-processing industries. While personal income growth in Virginia accelerated in the second quarter, it was below average during the last four quarters.

The states in the bottom quintile of personal income growth in the second quarter of 2002 were in the western part of the nation: North Dakota, Iowa, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Missouri, Hawaii, Washington, and Indiana. All of these states had significant decelerations in the growth of personal income in the second quarter, relative to the first. However, only four states (Indiana, Washington, Utah, and Iowa) had below-average growth over the four quarters since the second quarter of 2001.

In most of these states, sharp declines in farm earnings dampened personal income growth, mainly reflecting decreases in cash receipts for crops and livestock.

  • In Idaho, Utah, and Missouri, earnings declines in transportation and public utilities held back earnings growth in the second quarter. Personal income growth in Idaho and Missouri was above average over the last four quarters, while in Utah it was below average.
  • In New Mexico and Indiana, a decline in construction earnings contributed substantially to weak earnings growth. Personal income growth in New Mexico was almost double the national average over the last four quarters, while Indiana grew at slightly below the national average.
  • In Hawaii, an earnings decline in finance, insurance, and real estate was the major contributor to slow earnings growth, as earnings returned to a more normal rate of increase after unusually large lump-sum payments boosted growth in the first quarter. Hawaii's personal income grew above the national average over the last four quarters.
  • In Wyoming, a decline in mining earnings, particularly in oil and gas extraction, contributed to weak growth. However, over the last four quarters, Wyoming's personal income growth was more than double the national average.
  • In Washington, declines in both durable and nondurable goods manufacturing were the major contributors to slow growth, mainly reflecting returns to more normal growth rates after large lump-sum payments boosted growth in the first quarter. Personal income in Washington grew below the national average over the last four quarters.

Definitions

Personal income is the income received by all persons from participation in production, from government and business transfer payments, and from government interest. Personal income is the sum of net earnings by place of residence, rental income of persons, personal dividend income, personal interest income, and transfer payments. Net earnings is earnings by place of work — the sum of wage and salary disbursements (payrolls), other labor income, and proprietors' income — less personal contributions for social insurance, plus an adjustment to convert earnings by place of work to a place-of-residence basis. Personal income is measured before the deduction of personal income taxes and other personal taxes and is reported in current dollars (no adjustment is made for price changes).

The estimate of personal income in the United States is derived as the sum of the state estimates; it differs from the estimate of personal income in the national income and product accounts (NIPA's) because of differences in coverage, in the methodologies used to prepare the estimates, and in the timing of the availability of source data.

BEA groups all 50 states and the District of Columbia into eight distinctive regions for purposes of data collecting and analyses: New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont); Mideast (Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania); Great Lakes (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin); Plains (Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota); Southeast (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia; Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas); Rocky Mountain (Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming); and Far West (Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington).
