4:32Now PlayingConsumer confidence slipped slightly in September as Americans grew more cautious about the job market and current business conditions. Yet optimism about future income remains strong, spending continues to hold up, and the housing market is showing signs of stabilizing. Dale Smothers, President and CEO of RDS Wealth Management, joins Alicia Summers, and notes that the media often frames the economy in a pessimistic way, which can create groupthink and amplify concerns beyond what the data actually shows. Smothers weighs in on the factors behind the dip, the balancing act between inflation pressures and wage growth, and what to expect in the months ahead as the Federal Reserve's recent rate cut, slowing job growth, and the looming threat of a government shutdown come into play.
