Families still afraid

Sao Paulo-the index of the FecomercioSP which measures the intention of household consumption industries was stable this month, when the greater security of the respondents about their current jobs was no confidence in balanced opposed perspective of professional development and greater dissatisfaction as to income.

Fecomercio evaluation is that while reveal a smaller consumer dissatisfaction, the advancement of the indicator still coming up in a labour market recovery seen as far short of the need to generate greater comfort to the families. The tendency, then, is that the consumer index stay around the current level, says the organisation.
