Consumer sentiment in upstate New York slid 0.6 points to 71.1 in August, according to the latest monthly survey from the Siena (College) Research Institute (SRI) released today.
Upstate’s overall-sentiment index of 71.1 is a combination of the current-sentiment and future-sentiment components. Upstate’s current-sentiment index of 82.2 was up 2.2 points from July, while the future-sentiment level decreased 2.4 points to 64, according to the SRI data.
The Upstate figure was 2.2 points below the statewide consumer-sentiment level of 73.3, which was down 2.1 points from July, SRI said.
