UN Research
Shows Rising
State Income
The University Bureau of Busi
ness Research reported yesterday
that the relative prosperity of the
state, which led to a record total
Nebraska income in 1945, is ap
parently continuing in 1946.
This estimate, based on "gen
eralized information" according to
Dr. Edgar Z. Palmer, was included
in a report on Nebraska's wartime
economy issued yesterday. The
total Nebraska income in 1945 was
given as $1,347,000,000, the highest
in history.
The University Bureau reported
that 1945 income payments per
capita in Nebraska totaled $1,117,
which placed Nebraska 21st
among all slates. This figure com
pared with per capita incomes of
$275 in 1933 and $557 in 1929.
The income advance however
did not keep Nebraskans in the
state, the Bureau said. Emigra
tion was heavy during the depres
sion and drou.h years and con-
