BarryLaverty Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (NY TIMES) Retail sales jumped in October in a third straight month of gains By Coral Murphy Marcos Retail sales jumped in October for the third straight month, as consumers in the United States kept spending despite fast-rising prices, shipping delays and labor shortages that threaten a critical part of the American economy. Rising prices were partly responsible for the 1.7 percent gain in spending, which was bigger than economists had expected, but they weren’t the only factor. Even when adjusted for inflation, consumer spending is higher than it was before the start of the pandemic, government data shows. Many American consumers seem to be riding out the rise in prices, thanks to rising wages and savings balances that grew during the pandemic — in part because of government stimulus programs that put cash directly in people’s bank accounts. Monthly retail sales The sizable jump in spending also likely reflected an early start to the holiday shopping season, analysts said, a shift driven by consumers’ concerns that supply chain shortages would mean that gifts would not arrive in time for the holidays.
