Taken from BEA's and translated.

Break down of personal income.
Current-dollar personal income increased $208.0 billion in the second quarter, compared with an
increase of $176.6 billion in the first.
The acceleration in personal income primarily reflected an upturn
in personal dividend income
meaning the increase basically amounted to dividends from the stock market CD' s etc
that were partly offset
by a deceleration in wages and salaries. slowing down of wages and salaries wages did not increase substantially so the increase in this quarter is primarily due to the stock market.

I tried to make it clear but it is conflicting information as the stock market is not the entire economy and a large portion of the economy is suppose to be using or buying what the stock market is producing If these figures are correct we do have a problem as dividends are not income increases in regular people that make it easy for them to buy more.
