The latest figure for U.S. per capita disposable income in the third quarter (August) of 2026 reached 53,674.0, a significant increase from 52,849.0 in the previous month, shattering market concerns about a slowdown in real purchasing power. Strong wages and social welfare benefits supported income growth, driving consumer spending to a recent high.
