I wish this data was broken down by category, region and state?

I also wish this data was broken down by categories?

Lastly, I'd like to see how much of this "growth" is RTO and/or "sub prime"? Based off the recent Conns article, this growth may have real concerns for retailers if in fact most of the growth is coming from RTO and sub-prime. Then it's not just a headline of growth optimism, it's a warning.

I ask these questions because everything I read that pertains to this economic growth is coming from sub prime lending on automobiles, deep discounting and more. With that said, I think there is a propensity to highlight "positive" headlines, without digging into the facts so our category can make strategic moves to compensate, rather than maintain a position of hope.

Just my thoughts
