U.S. retail e-commerce spending for the first 28 days of the November – December 2011 Christmas season has been $15 billion, which is a 15% increase from the same days in 2010.

Another increase for Cyber Monday was the percentage of people who shopped from work.

Half of the dollars spent online at U.S. Web sites originated from work computers, but this increase was slight with just a 1% rise over 2010.

Purchases from home comprised the majority of the remaining share (43.2%), and buying at U.S. Web sites from international locations accounted for the balance 6.6% of sales.
