It is easy to become distracted by the headlines on inflation, interest rates, policy changes in Washington, and more. But we cannot neglect the most important economic question: How is the US consumer doing? If consumers are in a great spot, the economic outlook is bright. If consumers are in a dismal spot, the economic outlook is dire.

Today we are seeing, on aggregate, that the consumer is bending but not breaking. This informs our outlook for mild economic growth in the years ahead. Using our data-driven methodology, ITR Economics Senior Forecaster and Speaker Connor Lokar will lay out our analysis of consumer health during this cycle so you can plan for the future with confidence. You will know the lay of the land when it comes to consumer strength.

In addition to this holistic assessment of the consumer, Connor will delve into how the different consumer groupings and markets are faring. Expect data analysis on the earning, spending, and saving of consumers of different income brackets.

Connor will also examine the latest trends in retail sales spending, including which categories are lagging and which are exhibiting strength. By helping you understand where the opportunities and pitfalls lie, Connor will enable your business to effectively target prospective customers and set appropriate sales expectations.
