Americans Hit The Shops As Unemployment Rate Plummets

Description

U.S. consumer spending increased more than expected in April. Consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. The US Commerce Dept. said it jumped 0.6 percent last month--the biggest gain in five months. It's a further sign that economic growth regained momentum early in the second quarter. Reuters reports inflation also continued to rise steadily. Unemployment benefits applications dropped more than expected last week.
