My topic for this weeks current event is about “Income Growth in East Texas”.

I found my article from “Longview News Journal”.

The article that I chose is about the personal income in 23 Texas counties that grew from $28.8 billion to $43.4 billion dollars since 2013. Per-person income has grown a greater rate that statewide, which is not that exceeding.

I feel that this affects me because I know some people that are not that fortunate. As well as some people are not as wealthy as some other people, so if they keep making the income higher and higher that could really put some people in a bind.

This also effects the world greatly because there are a lot of people that live in Texas. Some people are also not as wealthy as others so therefore it affects the world in that way as well.
