It's not easy to find an attractive income yield these days. While the Federal Reserve has started raising interest rates, they remain near historical lows. Because of that, yield-focused investments like dividend stocks offer lackluster payouts. For example, the current dividend yield on the S&P 500 is near a two-decade low of around 1.3%.
However, there are some higher-yielding opportunities in today's low-yield environment. Three stocks currently offering well above average dividend yields are 3M (NYSE: MMM) , Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE: CEQP) , and Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure (NASDAQ: AY) . Here's why income-focused investors will want to take a closer look at this high-yielding trio.
