Shoppers got back in the buying mood in July, propelling sales at the nation’s retailers up by 1.4 percent, the most in six months, the Associated
Press reports.
The snapback reported Friday by the Commerce Department came after shoppers hunkered down in June, depressing retail sales by 0.4 percent, according to revised figures. June’s sales turned out to be even weaker than the 0.1 percent dip reported a month ago.
