From the Bureau
Personal income increased $23.1 billion (0.3 percent) and disposable personal income (DPI) increased $19.7 billion (0.3 percent) in May. Personal consumption expenditures (PCE) decreased $4.2 billion (0.1 percent). In April, personal income increased $20.7 billion(0.2 percent), DPI increased $22.7 billion (0.3 percent), and PCE increased $40.1 billion (0.6 percent), based on revised estimates.
Salaries
A Conference Board survey finds that for the first time in 9 years, average salary increases in many key industries, including manufacturing, trade, and utilities, have dropped below 4 percent for some major employee groups. Estimates for 2003 indicate average pay increase budgets will be a uniform 4 percent for all employee groups in all industry categories. Although the majority of employees will still receive the average 4-percent increase, a higher proportion of all employee groups will get lower increases both this year and next than in preceding years.
Personality and Productiveness
Reuters reports that new study findings suggest that some of the most outgoing employees are also the biggest troublemakers. Researchers at the University of New Orleans, Louisiana, found that while "extroverted," conscientious employees were least likely to be rated counterproductive, those less-than-conscientious extroverts reportedly stirred up the most trouble at work.
In contrast, conscientiousness had little to do with job-performance ratings among employees who tended to keep to themselves (the so-called introverts). According to investigators, counterproductive behavior among these employees may go unnoticed, or their tendency to not "make waves" may make managers less likely to view them as problem employees.
Boosting Productivity
This article, based on research at The Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania and insights from Aon, explores some of the challenges that companies face related to productivity, particularly employee absence.
