Retail sales in the United States saw a solid increase in September, fueled by lower gasoline prices that allowed consumers to spend more at restaurants and stores. The Commerce Department reported a 0.4% rise in sales, marking a continuation of strong economic growth. Increases were noted in clothing stores, online purchases, and health and personal care outlets, although some categories like electronics saw declines. Overall, consumer spending remains robust due to solid income growth and low unemployment rates.
