Greetings, The United States: Many economists continue to point out that the falling US savings rate (chart below) can be explained by higher asset prices (stocks and houses) as well as strong labor markets (second and third charts below). (dailyshotbrief.com)
And while the spread has widened in the late stages of economic expansion, Bernstein notes that this is the first time the gap has grown because of an acceleration in operating earnings as opposed to a fall in reported profit (see the third chart). (businessinsider.com)
I wonder if non-egg-eaters can read the numbers in the third chart. (westonaprice.org)
