Daily Digit: 2.6% Income Jump

That was the biggest increase since 2004 and well above analysts' expectations. But it may be just a one-time deal. The Commerce Department said personal income rose because of special dividends and accelerated bonuses to beat increases in taxes this year. Exclude the one-time factors, and after-tax income rose 0.4%.
