The increase in personal income in July primarily reflected increases in wages and salaries and personal
current transfer receipts.

The increase in real PCE in July reflected increases in spending for new motor vehicles and for services
that was partially offset by a decrease in spending for nondurable goods.

Personal outlays increased $41.6 billion in July. Personal saving was $794.7 billion in July and the personal
saving rate, personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income, was 5.7 percent.
