Economic Data Paint a Picture of Two Americas


U.S. Economy Depends on Rich People

The highest-earning 10% of Americans have increased their spending far beyond inflation.

 Everyone else hasn’t.

The top 10% of earners—households making about $250,000 a year or more—are splurging on everything from vacations to designer handbags, buoyed by big gains in stocks, real estate and other assets.

Those consumers now account for almost 50% of all spending.
