UMich Sentiment Shows Wage Growth Delusion Has Never Been Bigger (Or Fed So Far Behind The Curve)

(Before It's News)

Preliminary June UMich consumer sentiment data rose from 90.7 to 94.6 as respondents appear very excited about soaring gas prices and far more excited abiout stocks than every other confidence survey recently. Current conditions soared from 100.8 to 106.8 as expectations only rose from 84.2 to 86.8. Where does the hope come from? Simple… income expectations are the highest since 2008 and the most divergent from reality ever.

Are we still rolling over?

Hope triumphs over reality…

As hopes for houshold finances remain mired in total farce…
