A Changing Pattern Shifts U S spending and ads market
US News and World Report notes a changing spending pattern as Americans shift dollars across goods and services. The analysis compares 1956 consumer outlays per $1000 with 1940, highlighting declines in liquor, water, tobacco, rent, travel, and arts tickets, while groceries, health care, private schooling, auto repairs, and home appliances rise. It links these shifts to a more active, luxurious life centered on home, education, health, and recreation, with broader implications for industries and advertising.
