You could say personal income growth in Q3 was less about the Benjamins than about the Jacksons...<\/p><\/div>\n

Lately, the US Bureau of Economic Analysis<\/a> has been crunching numbers looking at so called “personal income” growth.\u00a0 That figure includes all pre-tax income:\u00a0 wages, salaries, dividends, annuities, Social Security checks…everything.<\/p>\n

And for the third quarter of 2011, the growth was rather modest.\u00a0 In its media release<\/a>, the Bureau of Economic Analysis noted:<\/p>\n

“State personal income growth slowed to 0.1 percent, on average, in the third quarter of 2011. Growth rates ranged from -0.4 percent in West Virginia to 0.6 percent in Washington State. Personal income fell or was unchanged in twenty states and grew 0.2 percent in the other thirty.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

New Hampshire, incidentally, falls into that “other thirty” category, with a growth rate of 0.2 percent. Vermont just misses Middling Thirty distinction…with a personal income growth rate of 0.0 percent.\u00a0 Meanwhile, two other New England states fall into the bottom five nationally.\u00a0 Here’s a table based on work done by the Bureau of Economic Analysis showing how the region stacks up:<\/p>\n
