Stock investors are buoying the economy. A labor market breakdown could end that
Abstract:Government labor data could paint a darker economic picture, leading to a market slide that would throw cold water on the outlook of those who are well off.
As stock market investors support economic sentiment, some economists wonder if a looser labor market could pull the rug out.
The University of Michigan's widely-followed consumer sentiment index slid more than 6% in November, nearing all-time lows and down about 30% from a year ago. Respondents were concerned that the long-running federal government shutdown would drag on the economy, according to survey director Joanne Hsu.
But at least one group bucked the sour mood: Those with the most stock holdings.
The individuals with sizable stock market wealth reported an 11% improvement in sentiment, which Hsu tied to the stock market's recent rally to all-time highs.
