Consumers Buy More Heavily In April 1950
The commerce department reports total consumer incomes rose to a 2 year rate of 212800 million in April, up 600 million from March. The gain follows a second monthly increase, driven by payroll growth while proprietors income and transfer payments declined. Farm income fell though total farm operations were one fifth below last year early in 1950, with gains mainly in durable goods and manufacturing. Higher employment and longer work weeks in factories producing transportation equipment and fabricated metal products largely propelled wage advances.
