The most up-to-date report came from the Conference Board, with the consumer confidence index for November dropping sharply on concerns over high prices, tariffs and a weakening job market.The overall index fell 6.8 points in November to 88.7 The present situation index declined 4.3 points, but the forward-looking expectations index dropped 8.6 points to 63.2. That made it 10 consecutive months where that index has been below 80, considered a threshold that signals a recession ahead.“Consumer confidence tumbled in November to its second lowest level since April after moving sideways for several months,” said Dana M. Peterson, chief economist at the business organization. “All five components of the overall index flagged or remained weak.”“Consumers were notably more pessimistic about business conditions six months from now. Mid-2026 expectations for labor market conditions remained decidedly negative, and expectations for increased household incomes shrunk dramatically, after six months of strongly positive readings.”“September retail sales show muted growth, with notable monthly declines in categories hard hit by tariffs: auto parts, electronics, appliances, sporting goods and instruments,” said Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union.On Tuesday, private payroll firm ADP released its new weekly survey of the labor market showing companies shed an average of 13,500 jobs a week in a four-week period ending Nov. 8. https://money.usnews.com/money/personal-finance/articles/a-mixed-bag-of-economic-reports-shows-americans-struggling-with-high-prices-weak-labor-market
>>1460096Makes you wonder how bad things are given republicans are now censoring and covering up economic reports.
>>1460104You don't need to wonder. Go track down a grocery receipt from last year, then go to the store (after Thanksgiving admittedly) and try to buy the same items. Fucking 70% increase.
>>1460104It's so bad they're flooding the zone with shit to prevent stories like this from being noticed.

>>1460104 Very bad. Just look around. Layoffs rampant. Stores empty. Everyones stressed out.
>>1460138I don’t know why they expect it to work. Everyone notices their bills going up.
>>1460399And 22 states are currently in a recession with many more about to fall into recession. Things are terrible right now. And you have a back-stabbing jew like Stephen Miller publicly saying he's thankful for it all on Thanksgiving? These millionaires are out of touch. Miller and that Pete alcoholic guy are living in tax payer funded housing now and drawing a massive government salaries and getting kickbacks from the orthodox jews all profiting off their schemes.
>>1460106>Go track down a grocery receipt from last year, then go to the store (after Thanksgiving admittedly) and try to buy the same items. Fucking 70% increaselmao I think half the reason I keep coming to this board is because of how hilarious it is to see literal high schoolers pretend to be adults without realizing how absurdly obvious it is that you're a child.This one is even funnier because you kids already got called out on this a few weeks ago. You claimed that grocery prices had more than doubled in less than a year. You got laughed at because it's obvious you've never been grocery shopping. And then you actually thought "What if I claim groceries have only increased by 70% instead of over 100% like I did before? THAT would surely be believable!"Thanks, kid, I can't wait until the next thread where you idiot teenagers say some dumb shit that sounds okay to you but is just ridiculous to any adult.
