Why it matters locally: While the impact on West Virginia's economy cannot be precisely quantified from this national data, consumer confidence trends can influence spending habits and investment decisions across all states, including West Virginia, potentially affecting local businesses and employment.
The Conference Board announced Tuesday that its consumer confidence index increased by 0.6 points in June, reaching a total of 91.2. This marks a slight improvement from previous readings.
