Excerpt
Excerpt: U.S. personal income grew 2.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2004, the fastest pace since the first quarter of 2000 when income grew 3.4 percent. The dividend paid by Microsoft Corporation in December contributed 1.5 percent percentage points to the growth rate. Nevertheless, growth accelerated from the previous quarter when that dividend is excluded. Personal income in the state of Washington, home of the Microsoft and many of its large shareholders, grew 10.4 percent.
