Personal Income Edges Up in November
Personal income reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 472.8 billion dollars in November, rising slightly from October. Wages and salaries, interest and dividends, and transfer payments each contributed about one third of the 1.5 billion dollar annual increase.

For January through November, income averaged 462 billion dollars annually, up 21 billion or 4.7 percent from 1962. Agricultural income fell, though other major groups rose.
