Description
An account of the resource
<p>The Index of Consumer Confidence based on the Conference Board's survey of Canadian households measures consumers' levels of optimism regarding current economic conditions.</p>
<p>The Index of Consumer Confidence survey is based on four attitudinal questions. Data is collected on each respondent's age, sex, marital status, and geographic location of residence. The four questions are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Considering everything, would you say that your family is better or worse off financially than six months ago?&nbsp </li>
<li>Again, considering everything, do you think that your family will be better off, the same or worse off financially six months from now?&nbsp </li>
<li>How do you feel the job situation and overall employment will be in this community six months from now?&nbsp </li>
<li>Do you think that right now is a good or bad time for the average person to make a major outlay for items such as a home, car or other major item?</li>
</ol>
<p>Data from 2002-2017 is available on a monthly basis, while data from 1972-2001 is available on a quarterly basis.</p>
