U.S. Income, Consumption Grows
Both personal income and spending climbed in December, according to new U.S. Commerce Department figures.
Americans’ personal income increased by 0.4% last month, at the same rate its November growth. Personal consumption, meanwhile, rose by 0.9%, meaning that consumers are saving less.
Some economists predict that the spending surge will help boost the economy, and it's bright news for retailers as well.
