First Quarter State Personal Income Statistics to be Released June 22
SUITLAND, Md. -- Preliminary statistics on people’s incomes by state in the first quarter of 2016 will be released Wednesday, June 22 by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. These state personal income statistics will provide BEA’s first look at state economies for the January-March quarter of 2016 and serve as a basis for government and business decision making. For example: Federal government agencies use state personal income statistics to allocate funds and determine matching grants to states. The statistics are also used in forecasting models to project energy and water use. State governments use the statistics to project tax revenues and demand for public services. Academic regional economists use the statistics for applied research. Businesses, trade associations, and labor organization use the statistics for market research. The news release, along with hyperlinks to the associated tables in PDF and XLS formats, will be forwarded to you. The statistics, released at 8:30 a.m. eastern time, also will be available on BEA’s website (www.bea.gov).
