Consumer confidence in San Diego continues to rebound
 

Call Jim Frimmer for all your San Diego County real estate needsThe San Diego Consumer Confidence Index reached an all-time low of 34.9 in February 2009, when the stock market was falling, unemployment was rising, and the economy was spiraling rapidly downward, seemingly on its way to another Great Depression. Since February 2009, the consumer confidence index has been steadily increasing, now at 71.5 for July 2010.

Call Jim Frimmer for all your San Diego County real estate needsThe consumer confidence index asks people their views on the current economy and what they think it will be like six months from now.

Positive findings in the latest index include:

  1. 19% of respondents said that the current business conditions are good or better, up from 16% in June and nearly double that of a year earlier.
  2. Unemployment is at 10½%, causing 59% of respondents to say that the current job market is bad. That is down from 65% from June.
  3. 32% say that business conditions will be better in six months.
  4. 33% say that the job market will be better in six months.

See how few comments good news gets? People just aren't interested in good news. They want blood and guts.

I came by to give you some moral support. Here's hoping that you continue to post good news. We get enough bad news from everyone else.

Thanks to everyone for stopping by and commenting. Comments are greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to follow up on these older posts like this one to see if anyone had any questions or if I really need to respond to anyone's comments.

I will read all the comments and respond to any that need a response, but rather than making comments here in my post to each and every one of you, I'll just let everyone know that I have read all the comments and if there are any questions, I'll answer those in comments below this one. Otherwise I'll simply post this comment and then head over to your blogs soon to visit and do some reading and commenting. I hope you'll have a nice welcome mat out for me!

Don't forget to let your cat come out to play with all the other ActiveRain kitties. Your cat-friendly dogs can come, too!

If you need a great cat book, get yourself a copy of Peg Silloway's The Cat Lover's Book of Days.

Best wishes to everyone for a great Fall!
