36 Convergence in State Per Capita Personal Income, 1950-99 (PDF)
The differences in per capita personal incomes among the States narrowed from 1950 to 1979 but have not narrowed since. This pattern largely reflects the pattern of per capita earnings, the largest component of personal income. Dividends, interest, and rent showed the strongest pattern of convergence through 1979 and continued to show some convergence through 1999. Transfers converged until 1979 but showed little evidence of convergence thereafter.

Real GDP increased 1.3 percent in the first quarter of 2001, according to the "preliminary" estimate; the "advance" estimate issued last month had shown a 2.0-percent increase. The downward revision was largely accounted for by downward revisions to private nonfarm inventories and personal consumption expenditures for nondurable goods and by an upward revision to imports of goods. Corporate profits declined $21.3 billion (2.3 percent at a quarterly rate). The Federal Government current surplus increased $2.4 billion, to $279.4 billion, and the State and local government current surplus fell $22.8 billion, to $40.3 billion.
27 Foreign Direct Investment in the United States: New Investment in 2000 (PDF)
Outlays by foreign direct investors to acquire or establish businesses in the United States increased to a record $320.9 billion in 2000. Outlays have been exceptionally large for the past 3 years, reflecting continued strong growth in the U.S. economy and substantial numbers of very large investments. Nearly half of the outlays in 1998-2000 were in manufacturing, especially in petroleum and coal products and in computers and electronic products. Outside manufacturing, outlays were largest in information and in finance.
