Consumers confidence in the economy was shaken in December as Americans grow anxious about high prices and the impact of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs.

The Conference Board said Tuesday that its consumer confidence index fell 3.8 points in December. Consumers’ assessments of their current economic situation tumbled 9.5 points. 20.8% of consumers said jobs were “hard to get,” up from 20.1% last month.

Write-in responses to the survey showed that prices and inflation remained consumers’ biggest concern, along with tariffs, despite repeated claims by President Trump that inflation is a hoax.

The December survey showed that respondents’ views of their family’s current financial situation sank into negative territory for the first time in close to four years.

Perceptions of the job market also declined this month. The country’s labor market has been stuck in a “low hire, low fire” state, economists say. Since March, job creation has fallen to an average 35,000 a month, compared to 71,000 in the year ended in March. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said recently that he suspects those numbers will be revised even lower.

A measure of Americans’ short-term expectations for their income, business conditions and the job market remained stable at 70.7, but still well below 80, the marker that can signal a recession ahead. It was the 11th consecutive month that reading has come in under 80.
