STATE PERSONAL INCOME: THIRD QUARTER 2001

Most states experienced weak personal income growth in the third quarter of 2001, primarily reflecting the continued slowing of personal income since late 2000 and the effects of the terrorist attacks of September 11 (see box for details), according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the U.S. Department of Commerce.

In thirty-three states, personal income increased less than 1.0 percent (table 1). Personal income decreased slightly in Washington and Delaware and increased only 1.4 percent in Iowa, the fastest growing state. As a result, the difference between the growth rates in the fastest and slowest growing states was 1.6 percentage points— the smallest in 20 years.

Personal income growth decelerated in 28 states and the District of Columbia, following weak second-quarter growth. In 19 other states, personal income growth accelerated slightly.

The contribution of the three major components to third-quarter growth varied among states, but differences in growth rates among states were due largely to differences in growth of net earnings because net earnings accounts for at least 60 percent of personal income in every state (table 2). Thirty-four states experienced modest growth in dividends, interest, and rent, in contrast to the second quarter when only Georgia and California experienced such growth. The growth rate of dividends, interest, and rent exceeded that of total personal income in five states (Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Delaware, and Washington). Transfer payments increased in all states, but growth in transfers had a relatively minor effect on personal income growth.

States with the slowest growth in personal income

In the third quarter of 2001, the six states with the slowest growth in personal income were Washington (-0.2 percent), Delaware (-0.1 percent), Nevada (0.1 percent), Connecticut (0.2 percent), New Jersey (0.2 percent), and Michigan (0.2 percent). As a group, these six states accounted for 12.1 percent of U.S. personal income and contributed only 2.5 percent of the $56.4 billion of U.S. growth.

By industry, the major contributors to the relatively slow growth in earnings by place of work in the slowest-growing states were:

  • In Washington, services (primarily software-related) contributed the most to the decline in earnings, as growth returned to a more normal rate of increase after unusually large lump-sum payments boosted growth in the second quarter.
  • In Delaware, earnings in construction, nondurables manufacturing (primarily chemicals) and in durables manufacturing (primarily automobiles) contributed the most to the decline in earnings.
  • In Nevada, earnings growth in most industries were below the national average, with transportation and public utilities and construction contributing the most to weak earnings growth.
  • In Connecticut, earnings in construction and durables manufacturing contributed to weak earnings growth.
  • In New Jersey, earnings growth in most industries was below average, with construction and manufacturing (primarily nondurables) contributing the most to weak earnings growth.
  • In Michigan, earnings in manufacturing (primarily durables) and construction contributed the most to weak earnings growth.

States with the fastest growth in personal income

In the third quarter of 2001, the five states with the fastest growth in personal income were Iowa (1.4 percent), Nebraska (1.3 percent), Maine (1.3 percent), Wyoming (1.3 percent), and New Mexico (1.3 percent). As is frequently the case, the fastest growing states were relatively small, accounting for 2.5 percent of U.S. personal income, and contributing 5.2 percent of the $56.4 billion of U.S. growth.

By industry, the major contributors to earnings by place of work in the fastest-growing states were:

  • In Iowa, earnings grew faster than average in most industries, with services and farms making the largest contributions to earnings growth.
  • In Nebraska, services and nondurables manufacturing contributed the most to earnings growth.
  • In Maine, government and services contributed the most to earnings growth.
  • In Wyoming, government and construction contributed the most to earnings growth.
  • In New Mexico, services, government, and farms contributed the most to earnings growth.

 

Adjustments to State Personal Income for the September 11th Terrorist Attacks

The third-quarter 2001 estimates of state personal income include effects of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Most of the effects of disasters on personal income are reflected in the usual source data. For certain components, however, BEA prepares adjustments to account for effects not captured in the source data.

The estimates of wages and salaries in state personal income were adjusted because the regular source data on employment, hours, and earnings are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) monthly employment survey, which covers the mid-month pay period; thus for September, these data did not fully reflect the changes to labor markets following the September 11 attacks. BEA's adjustments to national wages reflected decreased hours due to work interruptions, decreased employment due to layoffs, and increased hours due to overtime work. The effect of the adjustments made by BEA was to lower the national estimates of private wages and salaries for September by $3.3 billion and to raise government wages and salaries by $0.9 billion. By state, the largest downward adjustments to private wages and salaries were to New York ($1.0 billion), New Jersey ($0.4 billion), Virginia ($0.2 billion), and Maryland ($0.2 billion). The largest upward adjustments to government wages and salaries were to the same four states New York ($0.4 billion), New Jersey ($0.1 billion), Virginia ($0.1 billion), and Maryland ($0.1 billion).

In April, BEA will revise these third-quarter state estimates to incorporate more comprehensive BLS tabulations of wages and salaries of employees. These tabulations will capture more fully the effects of the attacks, so the explicit state adjustments made here will be removed.

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.
