The deteriorating U.S. job ordsprog

The deteriorating U.S. job market dampened consumer spirits this month. The nation's employment and unemployment numbers now bear watching, since continued weakness in the job market could translate into slower consumer spending.

The current slowdown in consumer spending reflects factors such as slower employment growth, higher petrol prices, higher interest repayments and a slower housing market.

Today's (consumer confidence) numbers do very little other than to simply confirm what we had predicted some time ago, that a consumer spending slowdown is basically inevitable so long as the employment climate remains as stagnant as it is,

The employment report is one of the key indicators for figuring out if the consumer can hold on. We're trying to transition this economy away from the consumer, but this potential war is getting in the way.
