Retail Sales Rise 0.3% in November as Americans Keep Spending

 

According to the Commerce Department, retail sales rose 0.3% in November from October, when sales were down a revised 0.2%. The figures aren’t adjusted for inflation. 

Excluding car and gas sales, sales rose 0.6%. Business at restaurants rose 1.6%, while sales at furniture stores rose 0.9%. Online sales rose 1%. Electronic and appliance sales, however, fell 1.1%. Sales at department stores fell 2.5%.

Economists have been expecting spending to slow in the final three months of the year as credit card debt and delinquencies rise, and savings fall.

This reflects a resilient consumer market as the holiday season progresses.
