This indicator released by the University of Michigan is one, with the Conference Board, of the two main indicators of consumer confidence in the United States. This statistic is based on telephone interviews with general questions about the economic outlook of the United States.

The scope of this index is used to define a recovery in consumer spending and therefore GDP growth.
