Area's Incomes Far Above Par
The region's total personal income reached 49.8 billion dollars, about 12 percent of the U S total that year, down from 16 percent in 1929. The per capita income lag is linked to education and employment limits for Negro and Puerto Rican populations, keeping them in low paying jobs. From 1947 to 1956 per capita income in New Jersey counties rose near U S growth, with Nassau leading at 3236, Westchester 3200, Manhattan 2964, Fairfield 2963. Dutchess, Putnam, Orange, and Suffolk remained among the lower per capita figures.
