The increase in current-dollar personal income in June primarily reflected increases in compensation and personal current transfer receipts (table 2).
The $57.6 billion increase in current-dollar PCE in June reflected an increase of $53.1 billion in spending for services and an increase of $4.5 billion in spending for goods (table 2). Within services, the largest contributors to the increase were other services (led by international travel) and housing and utilities (led by housing). Within goods, the largest contributors to the increase were other nondurable goods (led by pharmaceutical and other medical products) and recreational goods and vehicles (led by information processing equipment). These increases were partly offset by decreases in motor vehicles and parts (led by new motor vehicles) and gasoline and other energy goods. Detailed information on monthly PCE spending can be found on Table 2.4.4U.
