Another month of solid economic growth is in the books and the U.S. economy continues to look strong. Consumers remain optimistic, and unemployment is at a 40-year low.

New-vehicle sales are also projected to grow over the next few months, despite slowing a bit recently. Overall, we’re a month away from the holiday shopping season, and all signs indicate that it will be strong this year.
