Jonathan McCarthy has a post (see here) on the blog of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York about the significant decline in discretionary services spending in this recession. He states:
The pronounced weakness in personal consumption expenditures (PCE) for services has been an unusual feature of the 2007-09 recession and the slow recovery from it.
He has a graph (see below, click to enlarge) that tells the story.
