Wages up 0.4 % in February spending ebbs

Personal Income and Its Disposition Report U.S. Economy

Americans cut back on spending in February and used a hefty increase in wages to pad their savings accounts, government data showed.
Personal income inched up 0.4 % in February at the annualized rate of $16.86 trillion on the seasonally adjusted basis, reported by the Commerce Department.
The renewed caution by consumers is a double-edged sword. While Americans need to put more money aside to boost a low savings rate, lackluster spending also contributes to slower growth. (Consumer spending accounts for as much as 70% of U.S. economic activity).

Disposable personal income has climbed by 0.4 %, as well, lifting average American income to $45,186 at the annualized rate.

Personal consumption expenditures remained unchanged. The combination of higher income and lower spending allowed consumers to boost their savings rate to 3.4 % from 3.2 % in January.
A slower pace of consumer spending is one reason that economists are cutting estimates for gross domestic product growth.
