PG&E; predicted a 7% rise in California personal income.

Californians’ income is expected to hit a combined total that will top $400 billion for the first time, according to the Pacific Gas & Electric Co.’s economic forecast. While the rate of personal income growth in the state is expected to be better than that of the nation as a whole, the state’s economy will grow at a slower pace than it did in 1984, a PG&E; spokesman said.
