Consumer Confidence at 14-Month High November 25, 2003 10:06:00 AM ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. consumer confidence surged to its highest level in over a year, exceeding economists' rosy expectations, as consumers grew more hopeful about the job market, a report said on Tuesday. Private research firm the Conference Board said its index of consumer confidence climbed to 91.7, its highest level since Sept. 2002, from a revised 81.7 in October. Wall Street analysts had forecast a rise to 85.0. ``Consumers believe a slow but sure labor market turnaround is underway,'' said Lynn Franco, director of research at the Conference Board. news.moneycentral.msn.com
