Introduction & Summary
Understanding Growth and Change
Among the Major Components of Personal Income:
Earned Income,
Property Income
and Transfer Payments
Unless there is a sound understanding of the make-up of local personal income, and an awareness of how each of the components have grown or declined in relative importance over time, one can not gauge or appreciate the underlying character or complexion of growth and change of the local economy. This WV-REAP module is for tracking and analyzing the changing composition of personal income for the regions, MSAs, and 55 West Virginia counties.
