Latest Updates

US personal income rose by 0.8% month-over-month to $25.858 trillion in April 2025, following an upwardly revised 0.7% gain in March and far exceeding market expectations of a 0.3% increase. The sharp rise was largely driven by a 2.8% surge in personal current transfer receipts, up from a 1.1% increase in the prior month. Employee compensation grew by 0.5%, matching March’s pace, with equal contributions from wages and supplements to wages. Rental income was flat after a 0.7% gain in March, while personal income receipts on assets fell by 0.4%, reversing a 0.3% rise in the previous month.
