Can people who work in business and finance see how much money is in american people's savings accounts?

News media people sometimes point out that most americans have little to no money in their savings accounts. That news media people say this that means that they can see how much people are saving or not saving? If capitalists can see how much money americans are putting into their savings accounts that means that capitalist can raise the price of goods and services if they see that people are saving their money and thus always keep americans as close to bankrupt as possible?

Of course a bank employee handling bank accounts can see the balance. But doing anything"nefarious" with that info is illegal, and they really don't even care.

>That news media people say this that means that they can see how much people are saving or not saving?

That's mostly based on surveys. Banks can't just go out and talk about people's financials for reasons that should be obvious. It's kind of confidential.

Competition exists. Firms can't just raise prices because they want to, at least not successfully.
