Personal income rises more than expected

Posted by | November 30, 2016 08:43 | Filed under: Economy Good News Politics

Here’s another good sign of a robust economy.

Personal income increased by 0.6% (0.4% forecast,) boosted by higher employee compensation and interest on investments.

Spending gained by 0.3% (0.5% expected.) Consumers deferred some of their spending, with the rate of savings as a share of disposable income rising to 6% from 5.7%.

The second estimate of Q3 gross domestic product released on Tuesday was revised higher, to a 3.2% pace from 2.9%. This was mostly due to new data that reflected stronger consumer spending than previously thought.

    That statement is sort of true…
    I didn’t expect to see a raise this year…
    And when I got it, it was ten dollars more, take home…than last year. :{

    “Personal income increased by 0.6%…”
    …and is expected to decrease dramatically in January – unless a miracle happens.
