Consumers Report Stable Inflation Expectations, Lower Spending Growth Expectations

Results from the January 2015 Survey of Consumer Expectations (SCE) indicate median consumer inflation expectations were largely unchanged at both the one-year and three-year ahead horizons at 2.9 percent and 3 percent, respectively.

Median household spending growth expectations retreated significantly from the last month.

The mean perceived probability of finding a job in the next three months (if one were to lose one's current job) continued to increase.
