An Anonymous Coward writes:New data show much faster growth in wages and incomes.Wages and salary figures have been going up faster than previously estimated, with the year-over-year increase revised from 3.6% to 5.5%. Even after adjusting for inflation, that is 4.1%.Overall personal income is up, transfer receipts (welfare) are down, and savings is up. Americans are relying less on the government and saving more of what they earn. Personal savings is 8.1%, not the 6.1% that had been estimated. Consumer spending is up despite the increase in savings.

Corporate profits declined while wages grew at an annualized rate of 10.1%.Original SubmissionRead more of this story at SoylentNews.
