Within services, the largest contributors to the increase were health care (led by hospital and nursing home services), housing and utilities (led by housing), and other services (led by international travel). The $41.2 billion increase in current-dollar PCE in October reflected an increase of $53.1 billion in spending for services that was partly offset by a $11.9 billion decrease in spending for goods (table 2).
The increase in current-dollar personal income in October primarily reflected increases in personal income receipts on assets and compensation that were partly offset by a decrease in personal current transfer receipts (table 2).
