Description

Business Insider reports that US retail sales in September increased by nearly 2%, landing above the average economist estimate of 0.8%. This is the fifth straight month of improvement, as the economy continues to reaccelerate after covid caused slowing through the summer. Consumer spending makes up 70% of the U.S. economy.
