US consumer spending and the K-shaped economy
PwC has released analysis examining US consumer spending through the lens of the K-shaped economy, where higher-income households continue to spend freely while lower-income households cut back under pressure from prices and borrowing costs.

Why now: Fresh PwC analysis on diverging consumer spending patterns is drawing attention amid ongoing debate about inequality and economic resilience.
