New York, NY — While the news has been dominated by the European debt crisis, worries about jobs are what weighs most on U.S. consumer sentiment, according to the latest RBC Consumer Outlook Index. Amid concerns about job security, consumer confidence remained nearly flat for October, the third consecutive month with little change. The RBC Consumer Outlook Index dipped to 39.2, down one point from last month. Consumer confidence is below the level of a year ago (41.0) and also below the average level during the recession (40.2).
