Retail Sales Grew Again in June Despite Slower Job Gains Retail sales continued to rise in June even as employment grew more slowly, the National Retail Federation said. “June retail sales confirm that while the economy may be cooling, consumers remain on solid footing and are spending on household priorities,” NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay said. “Back-to-class spending is one of the most important shopping occasions of the year, and NRF’s consumer research shows that back-to-school and college spending is expected to set new records. Consumers are looking for the best value and deals, and retailers are well stocked with essential items for families and students.” | More Information
