Figure11-1Current Disposable Income and Consumer Spending for Canadian Households in 2010 For each income group of households, average current disposable income in 2010 is plotted versus average consumer spending in 2010. For example, the middle income group is represented by point A, indicating a household average current disposable income of $66 000 and average household consumer spending of $60 946. The data clearly show a positive relationship between current disposable income and consumer spending: families with higher current disposable income have higher consumer spending.
