Personal income in the United States picked up notably in March 2026, rising 0.6% month-over-month after being flat in February, according to data updated on 30 April 2026. The move marks a clear rebound from February 2026, when income growth stalled at 0.0% compared with the prior month.
The month-over-month comparison shows that March’s gain represents renewed momentum in household earnings after the pause seen at the start of the year. With the latest reading measured against February, and February’s outcome measured against January, the data underline a shift from stagnation to expansion in personal income, a key gauge of consumer spending potential in the US economy.
