Our weekly Consumer Comfort Index with Bloomberg nicely anticipated this week’s improved employment data; in advance of those numbers the CCI this week reached its second-highest since early 2008. We’ve shown a very high long-term correlation of the CCI and employment, at .80, and at .84 with the CCI on a six-month lead. This week also marked our shift of the CCI to a rebased scale of 0-100 for greater ease of interpretation.
