Phil Rosen of Opening Bell Daily pointed out a dataset that hasn’t made as many headlines but gives more of the sentiment of American workers.
The New York Fed’s Survey of Consumer Expectations for August came out this week. As you can see, the perception is moving negatively:
Odds of finding another job if you lose your current one: 44.9% (-5.8% month-over-month)*
Odds of leaving a job by choice in the next year: 18.9% (-0.1%)
Odds of losing your job in the next year: 14.5% (+0.1%)
Expectations that the unemployment rate will be higher in 12 months: 39.1% (+1.7%)
*The 44.9% figure is the lowest on record with a dataset that started in 2013.
