Changes in State Personal Income
A secret for readers of technola: Every morning, I read The Fargo Forum to see if any of my friends or family have made the news. North Dakota has only 600,000 people, and my husband is related to what feels like 599,999 of them, so this is not an unreasonable expectation.
While there was no stories about family or friends this morning, North Dakotans did receive some good news. They experienced a larger than average increase in personal income over the last year because agriculture and energy did well, and the housing and financial services slump didn't hit the state as hard as other states.
