Public economic and social pessimism continues to lessen. By the end of November, economic confidence increased one point and ■ social confidence by two points since September. Economic confidence is relatively highest among men, 15 to 24-year-olds and in Wellington provincial areas, and relatively lowest among women, 55-
year-olds and over and in Dunedin City. Social confidence is highest among men, 15 to 24-year-olds and in Dunedin provincial areas, and lowest among women, 45 to 54-year-olds and in Dunedin City. The National Research Bureau Confidence Index is compiled from measurements by the bureau of the public’s feelings about current and future personal Economic situations and
about current and tuture social and environmental conditions in New Zealand, obtained from bimonthly surveys of 2200 randomly selected New Zealanders fifteen years of age and over. Index values of 0 to 49 reflect public pessimism, and index values of 51 to 100 reflect public optimism. Copyright: the “New Zealand Herald.” .
