This is deuber in the den with Dangerous Day. It's
Cyber Monday, one of the most popular online shopping days
this year, but is it number one overall? According to
bankraad dot com, fifty nine percent of Americans plan to
shop today, compared to fifty three percent of people who
shopped on Black Friday. But hold on because the National
Retail Federation disagrees. They claim Black Friday shopping is still

(00:24):
number one, and it's not even that close. According to
their survey, one hundred and eighty three million people plan
to shop between Thanksgiving in today. Of those, seventy two
percent of people were shopping on Black Friday and just
thirty nine percent of people plan to shop on Cyber Monday.
Black Friday could even be muscling its way back when
it comes to online sales. Americans are expected to spend

thirteen point two billion on Cyber Monday this year. That's
up six percent from twenty twenty three, but Black Friday
making gains up to ten point eight billion, up ten
