What's New

New income data available

Total personal income, per-capita personal income, and median income data for 2024 is now available in our online data system. The system now also reflects the latest, revised data for 2016 through 2023. To find this state-specific data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, see our Income Data menu. National data is also available for comparison purposes.

Second edition of January 2026 Labor Bulletin published

Because of delayed data releases due to the recent federal government shutdown, we've published a second January 2026 edition of the South Dakota Labor Bulletin. This edition features workforce data for December 2025, while the first edition was our release of November 2025 data.

Falling for numbers

With Valentine's Day around the corner, we compiled some related demographic and workforce stats just for fun.
