The Yen to Spend Surges Postwar, Says Commerce Study
Washington reports a postwar rise in consumer spending as Americans increase purchases of goods. Commerce Department economists led by Louis Paradise find expenditures largely above prewar income levels, with spending patterns shifting despite rising incomes and price effects. The study analyzes 1941, 1950, and 1951 periods, noting savings declining from 12 percent in 1941 to about 7.7 percent by 1951. The research cautions the postwar period may be too brief to confirm a permanent consumption plateau.
