July, but their short-term expectations, which had declined last month, bounced back,&#8221; said Lynn Franco, director of economic indicators at the Conference Board.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, while consumers expressed greater optimism about short-term business and employment prospects, they have become more pessimistic about their earnings,&#8221; Franco added. &#8220;Consumer confidence is not likely to gain any significant momentum in the coming months.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the group&#8217;s latest survey, the percentage of consumers expecting business conditions to improve over the next six months increased to 18.9% from 16%, while those anticipating conditions to worsen decreased to 14.6% from 15.8%.<\/p>\n<p>Those expecting more jobs in the months ahead increased to 17.6%
