U.S. consumers view the economy with more optimism this month, according to a report released Tuesday. An upbeat view on jobs hints at a solid August payrolls report, some economists say.
The Conference Board, a private research group, said its index of consumer confidence increased to 92.4 in August from a revised 90.3 in July. The July number was first reported as 90.9.
The August index is the highest since October 2007, before the last recession started.
