Worries of double-dip recession are mounting, stoking fear among consumers “The recovery just isn’t looking that great. The job market has lost some positive momentum. This suggests another weak reading on consumer spending in the third quarter.” – Julia Coronado, Sr. Economist at BNP Paribas, August 13, 2010 “With unemployment at 9.5%, people in the U.S. are worried about the recovery. And a record string of 22 straight federal government budget deficits has raised fears of higher taxes. Caution by Americans over their finances means higher saving, which restrains spending.” – Wall Street Journal, August 12, 2010 © comScore, Inc. Proprietary and Confidential. 9

    Worries of double-diprecession are mounting, stoking fear among consumers “The recovery just isn’t looking that great. The job market has lost some positive momentum. This suggests another weak reading on consumer spending in the third quarter.” – Julia Coronado, Sr. Economist at BNP Paribas, August 13, 2010 “With unemployment at 9.5%, people in the U.S. are worried about the recovery.

Caution by Americans over their finances means higher saving, which restrains spending.” – Wall Street Journal, August 12, 2010 © comScore, Inc. Proprietary and Confidential. 9
