Economic Confidence Up Eleven Points Last Week
Stayed high after DNC and the recent jobs report
PRINCETON, NJ—The U.S. Gallup Economic Confidence Index surged to -18 for the week ending Sept. 9, up 11 points from -29 the prior week. This puts the index near the high point for the year after 2 ½ months when, weighed down by continued high unemployment, the index had languished well below -20.
