逆势而行:美国10个收入缩水最快的城市

Per capita income in the United States rose by 1.8% in 2017 to $48,684, the third straight annual increase. Per capita income growth was seen all across the country, and while per capita incomes rose more in some metro areas than others, they rose in nearly every U.S. metropolitan area.

2017年，美国人均收入增长1.8%，至48684美元，第三个连续增长的年份。全国的人均收入都出现了增长，尽管一些大都市地区的人均收入增幅高于其他地区，但几乎所有美国大都市地区的人均收入都出现了增长。

Some metropolitan areas, however, bucked the national trend, and there are even a few areas – less than a dozen – where per capita personal income declined by 1% or more. Based on per capita annual incomes released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 10 cities where incomes are shrinking the fastest.

然而，一些大都市地区却与全国趋势相反，甚至有少数地区——不到12个——人均个人收入下降了1%或更多。根据美国经济分析局(Bureau of Economic Analysis)公布的人均年收入，24/7 Wall St.评估了收入缩水最快的10个城市。

In most of the cities where per capita per capita incomes declined in 2017, the declines followed recent income booms. For example, per capita income in Midland, Texas, declined for the third straight year in 2017, including a 25.6% decrease in 2015. In 2010 and 2011, however, per capita income in the Texas metro area increased by 14.8% and 30.4%, respectively.

在2017年人均收入下降的大多数城市，人均收入的下降是在最近的收入增长之后出现的。例如，德克萨斯州米德兰的人均收入在2017年连续第三年下降，其中2015年下降25.6%。然而，2010年和2011年，德州都市区的人均收入分别增长了14.8%和30.4%。

In the case of Midland, and of many cities on this list, the recent per capita income declines are likely due to the correction in the oil market after prices fell in in 2014 and 2015. In fact, Midland still has one of the highest median household incomes in the country. Here is the full list of America’s richest cities.

就米德兰和榜单上的许多城市而言，最近人均收入的下降可能是由于2014年和2015年油价下跌后石油市场的调整。事实上，米德兰仍然是美国家庭收入中位数最高的地区之一。以下是美国最富有城市的完整名单。

While per capita incomes have declined in these places, these cities by no means have weak economies. Unemployment rates in most of the cities on this list remain low – in 9 of the 10 cities, the May unemployment rate was below the national rate of 3.6%. In these 10 metropolitan areas, per capita incomes have likely fallen in large part due to population increases, rather than substantial wage declines. Several of the metro areas on this list are among the fastest growing U.S. cities.

虽然这些地方的人均收入下降了，但这些城市的经济绝不是疲软的。这份名单上的大多数城市的失业率仍然很低——在10个城市中，有9个城市的5月份失业率低于3.6%的全国水平。在这10个大都市区，人均收入的下降可能在很大程度上是由于人口增长，而不是工资的大幅下降。这份名单上的几个大城市都是美国发展最快的城市之一。
