Personal income drops in Idaho

Idaho average personal income declined during the first three months of 2008 from the final three months of 2007, according to a report from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

A press release from the Idaho Department of Labor blamed the decline rising feed prices to livestock operators and sliding housing construction starts.

Personal income, an average of total wages, business owner profits, investment earnings and transfer payments such as Social Security, fell .4 percent in the first quarter of 2008, making Idaho one of only four states to see a personal income declines. Arkansas dropped 1.9 percent, Louisiana .6 percent and Mississippi .3 percent.

Nationally personal income rose 1.1 percent in the first quarter of the year.
