So how do consumers feel about the economy? Last week, we got a look at two different reports...and both indicated that consumers don't share the rosy outlook of politicians and the media. Consumer Confidence was reported at 46.0, which was much lower than expectations of 55.0. In addition, the University of Michigan reported that Consumer Sentiment also fell in February. Both reports pointed to ongoing concerns over employment as a major reason for the drop in consumer attitudes about the economy.
To help make ends meet during the recession, some consumers have turned to earning cash as a landlord. If you or someone you know is considering doing the same, read the view article below for important advice to help make sure you're successful!
This will be a big week of news, starting off right away Monday morning with reports on Personal Income and Personal Spending. We'll also get a look at the Core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE), which is the Fed's favorite gauge of inflation.
As if that weren't enough news for one day, we'll also see the Institute for Supply Management Index on Monday. This is the king of all manufacturing indices and is considered the single best snapshot of the factory sector, so the markets will be paying attention to this report.
Toward the end of the week, we'll get another look at employment and housing with the reports on Initial Jobless Claims and Pending Home Sales on Thursday.
Finally, the week ends with a bang when the official Jobs Report is released. This report includes the latest government data on job losses and the unemployment rate, as well as the average work week and hourly earnings. With the ongoing concerns over the struggling job market, it will be important to get a current read on the situation.
