What caught my eye today: Consumer sentiment in the United States, unpredictable work hours and long-term risks for workers, and the Fed’s new monetary policy framework

Consumer Sentiment slightly increased in August according to the survey of consumers done at the University of Michigan: http://www.sca.isr.umich.edu

Some days earlier in August, consumer confidence measured by The Conference Board decreased: https://conference-board.org/data/consumerconfidence.cfm

“Unpredictable work hours and volatile incomes are long-term risks for American workers”. Interesting!
