PROSPERITY OF

o BYI. u. REPORT
Reveals State Is Short on
MiIIionaires, but Long
on Income.
BIZ Times Special

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, March "a.
Indiana is short on millionaires
but long on average income, accord
ing to a report completed here today
for the new Indiana Development
Council, by Prof. L. D. Edie of the
Indiana University bureau Of bust
ness research, school of commerce.
The report shows Indiana's income
in 1925 was approximately $1,725,-
100000 and that the State ranks
eleventh.
The investigation reveals that
only about four-tenths of 1 per cent
of the population receive an income
above $4,000.
-Four counties, Marion, Lake, ST.
Joseph and Allen, together have a
greater number Of persona income
tax returns than the other eighty
eight counties of the State COM
bined. There are only 1S1 million
aires in Indiana, compared with
1854 for the United States.
Farm Income Gains
Average farm income is estimated
at $1,494, as compared with $429 in
1921. That year only eleven States
Mad a smaller farm income than In
ana. In normal years Indiana
%anks about midway between the
high and low farm income States.
The report points out that 55.5
per cent of the population in Indiana
own Iheir homes, as compared with
36.9 per cent for the United States
as a whole.
Nearly two-thirds of all income in
this State goes for wages, salaries
and services. In the United States
the percentage is about 10 per cent
smaller.
More Autos
Indiana has one-third again as
many automobiles as the United
States and in degree Of saturation
ranks eighth. There is one car for
every AZ persons in the State.
The average annual full time earn
ings for wage earners in factories
is estimated at about $1,000 per year.
More than As per cent of all wages
and salaries in Indiana go to manu-
featuring employees, 3.S per cent to
mining employees, per cent each to
agricultural and construction indus
try employees, AZ per cent to trade,
transportation and miscellaneous in
dustrial workers combined.
The table compiled showing aver
age annual full time earnings for
employees in leading occupations is
as follows:
