Income-generating stocks are in high demand this year as investors fight continuous interest rate hikes. Earlier in November, the Feds raised interest rates by another 0.75 percentage points in an effort to fight inflation.

This slow economic recovery and a possible recession have investors exploring different investment avenues to generate stable income.
