Wealthy Americans: Can They Save the Economy?

Description

Can the wealthy save the economy? New data suggests relying on high-income households to drive economic growth may be a risky bet.

With consumer spending strong but job growth slowing, the hope that the rich will keep the economy afloat is fading, raising the risk of a potential recession.
