Despite thousands of store closings this year, Americans supplied a
final flurry of spending to give retailers their best holiday season
sales since 2011, figures released Tuesday show.
U.S. year-end holiday retail sales rose 4.9% compared to the same
period last year, a welcome gift to U.S. retailers amid new signs of
consumer confidence.
Online retail shopping similarly increased 18.1%, while overall
consumer buying during the holiday period set a record for dollars
spent, according to the sales report issued by Mastercard SpendingPulse.
