Holiday Spending Habits
Notes
Transcript
According the recent reports from the National Retail Federation, here's how the US holidays rank in terms of spending habits. (I've rounded the figures to the nearest tenth of a billion to keep things simple.) The per person figures are rounded to the nearest five dollars and represent the amount spent by the "average consumer." The figures are estimates for 2006/7.
- Christmas (Hanukkah and Kwanzaa) $457 Billion / $800 per person
- Valentine's Day $14 Billion / $116 per person
- Mother's Day $13.8 Billion / $115 per person
- Easter $12.6 Billion / $110 per person
- Father's Day $9 Billion / $100 per person
- Halloween $5 billion / $60 per person
