Consumers gain purchasing power despite slower retail
Personal income rose at a 1 percent annual rate to 1.38 trillion in July, boosted by a 4.6 billion one-time Social Security payout and other transfer payments. Wages increased 8.1 billion, while farm income fell 4.6 percent to 41.9 billion, yet real disposable income stays rising. Economists see ongoing strength in after-inflation income supporting consumer spending.
