Americans Sour On Economy

NEW YORK -- Consumer confidence soured in May, as Americans fretted about the job outlook and the overall economy's future, a private research group said Tuesday.

The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index fell to 103.2, down from the revised 109.8 in April. Still, May's reading was better than the 100.9 expected by analysts.

The decline stalled a rebound seen since November in the aftermath of last year's Gulf of Mexico hurricanes, except for a sharp dip in February when short-lived pessimism over the job market hurt consumer sentiment.
