| The Conference Board’s confidence index was little changed in April at 69.2 compared to a revised 69.5 for March. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg was for 69.6. The smallest increase in employment in five months may have raised concern that growth is not fast enough to reduce unemployment. The report also showed households trimmed buying plans for automobiles, homes and vacations, showing that more jobs are needed to boost consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the economy. | |||||||
