Sales are up at Tiffany & Co.and Coach Inc.,buoyed by demand for $6,000 diamond pendants and $1,200 leather handbags as a stock-market surge pads the wallets of the wealthy.At the other end of the economic spectrum,Wal-Mart Stores Inc.,the world’s largest discount retailer,reports “everyday Americans” are living paycheck to paycheck as they await an improvement in job prospects.
“The heavy lifting is being done by the upper-income households,” said Michael Feroli,a former Federal Reserve economist who is now chief U.S.economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co.in New York.“They’re the ones benefiting the most from the stock market rally,and they’re spending.”
The uneven progress in household expenditures,which account for about 70 percent of the economy,helps explain why Fed policy makers likely will keep interest rates near zero and complete a second round of Treasury purchases.Unemployment averaged 9.6 percent last year,the highest rate since 1983,even as the expansion gathered speed.
Consumer purchases reflect bigger gains among high-income households and “financial pressures on those of more-modest means,” according to minutes of the Fed’s Dec.14 meeting.Feroli estimates the top 20 percent of wage earners account for about 40 percent of spending,while Dean Maki,chief U.S.economist at Barclays Capital Inc.in New York,puts their contribution at closer to 50 percent.

Tiffany & Co. and Coach Inc的销售额,受到作为世界财富在股市缓冲垫的价值6,000美元的钻石吊坠和1,200美元的真皮手袋的需求支撑,维持在高位.而在经济领域的另一端,世界上最大的折扣零售商沃尔玛公司却报告称,普通美国人却举步维艰,等待着就业前景的改善.
“高收入家庭现在正在承担提升经济的重任“,现任纽约摩根大通首席美国经济学家,前美联储经济学家Michae Feroli说,“他们是最受益于股市反弹群体,而现在他们在消费.”
家庭支出约占经济的70％,它进展的不平衡有助于解释为什么联邦政策的决策者门可能将保持利率接近零,并完成第二轮国库券购买.尽管伴随着通货膨胀速度的加快,去年失业率平均为9.6％,这是自1983年以来的最高水平.
消费品的销售情况反映出高收入家庭获益更多,“更加折中的手段承受了更多的财务压力”根据12月14日联邦会议的纪要,Feroli估计,工资收入前20%的人占据了消费的40%,而纽约巴克莱资本公司首席美国经济学家Dean Maki则认为,他们的消费贡献比例将接近50％.
