JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA--(Marketwire - June 22, 2010) - [ www.bellwetherreport.com ] -- The U.S. has been experiencing a judicious economic growth with grim forecasts from across the financial professional sphere that this slow-paced trend might endure throughout 2010. While there are numerous macroeconomic factors restraining a quicker economic recovery, one of the most weighing contribution comes from the jobless rate in the country. A consequent decline in the level of unemployment is not likely to be achieved any time soon. Job creation is looking increasingly challenging to produce or stimulate, and a turnaround can only be anticipated if first-time jobless claims fall under 425,000 per week. The latest jobless claims figures posted last week indicate that dismissal is still part of the current U.S. economic environment and has lead to more economic uncertainties according to economists. Then again, consumer confidence as measured by the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index in May has been indicating that consumers are still optimistic of a sustained economic recovery. The index saw another increase last month, making this the third successive monthly boost in consumer confidence.
