Dec. 27 (UPI) — Americans’ confidence in the U. S. economy’s strength is declining despite an overall strong year, a consumer survey released Thursday shows.
The monthly survey conducted by Nielsen for a nonpartisan think tank called The Conference Board found that consumer confidence in business and labor market conditions decreased in December, following a modest decline the previous month.
The percent of consumers saying business conditions are currently “good” decreased from 42 percent to 37.2 percent in December while those claiming the same conditions were “bad” increased from 10.
