About This Event
The change in personal income for May will be released.
Previous: 0%
Forecast:
Personal income measures the change in the total value of income received from all sources by consumers. Higher than expected personal income is bullish, while lower than expected personal income is bearish.
US personal income was unchanged month-over-month in April 2026, falling short of market expectations for a 0.4% increase and following a slightly downwardly revised 0.5% gain in March. The flat reading was largely due to a $61.7 billion drop in farm proprietors’ income, reflecting lower payments under the Farmer Bridge Assistance Program after applications closed in mid-April. Proprietors' income with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments also declined by $57.8 billion. This was partly offset by a $39.6 billion increase in compensation, including a $32.4 billion rise in wages and salaries. Private wages and salaries grew by $28.5 billion, while government wages and salaries increased by $3.9 billion. Meanwhile, disposable personal income fell by 0.1%, or $19.9 billion, after a 0.5% increase in the previous month, while the real DPI dropped 0.5%, slipping further from an upwardly revised 0.2% fall in March. source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis
