• U.S. Consumer Confidence — September 2015

“The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index®, which had increased in August, improved moderately in September. The Index now stands at 103.0 (1985=100), up from 101.3 in August. The Present Situation Index increased from 115.8 last month to 121.1 in September, while the Expectations Index edged down to 91.0 from 91.6 in August…

“’Consumer confidence increased moderately in September, following August’s sharp rebound,’ said Lynn Franco, Director of Economic Indicators at The Conference Board. ‘Consumers’ more positive assessment of current conditions fueled this month’s increase, and drove the Present Situation Index to an 8-year high (Sept. 2007, Index=121.2). Consumers’ expectations for the short-term outlook, however, remained relatively flat, although there was a modest improvement in income expectations. Thus, while consumers view current economic conditions more favorably, they do not foresee growth accelerating in the months ahead….’”

• Connecticut Maximum Weekly Unemployment Benefit is $598 Beginning — 04 October 2015

The annual revision to Connecticut’s Unemployment Insurance benefit rate will result in claimants receiving a maximum amount of $598 per week effective October 4, 2015.

The revised rate is four dollars more than the current $594 weekly maximum rate, and will apply to claims filed for the benefit year starting on and after October 4, 2015. Those who filed a claim prior to October 4 and have been collecting unemployment benefits are unaffected by this revision. The weekly dependency allowance for each dependent of $15 with a maximum of $75 remains unchanged.

The annual revision of the maximum weekly unemployment benefit is based on average manufacturing wages for the year ending June 30, 2015. The increase is limited by law to $18 per year, or 60 percent of the average, whichever is less.

For the 12 months ending August 31, 2015, regular benefits averaged $326 per week and claimants received an average of 17.9 weeks of compensation. The prior year shows weekly benefit payments averaging $319 for an average of 18 weeks.

State unemployment benefits are funded by an assessment paid by approximately 98,000 Connecticut employers. The assessment is based on the first $15,000 of each worker’s annual wage.

Regular Gasoline: The U.S. average retail price for regular gasoline decreased six cents from the previous week to $2.38 per gallon as of September 14, 2015, $1.03 per gallon lower than at the same time last year.

Future Estimates: In August, U.S. retail regular gasoline prices averaged $2.64/gal. EIA expects monthly average prices to decline in the coming months as refineries continue to produce high levels of gasoline, as demand begins to decrease following the peak in the summer driving season, and as the market transitions to lower-cost winter-grade gasoline. EIA projects regular gasoline retail prices to average $2.11/gal in the fourth quarter of 2015. The U.S. regular gasoline retail price, which averaged $3.36/gal in 2014, is projected to average $2.41/gal in 2015 and $2.38/gal in 2016.

• U.S. Industrial Production & Capacity Utilization — August 2015

Industrial production decreased 0.4 percent in August after increasing 0.9 percent in July. The increase in July is now estimated to be greater than originally reported last month, largely as a result of upward revisions for mining and utilities.

Manufacturing output fell 0.5 percent in August primarily because of a large drop in motor vehicles and parts that reversed a substantial portion of its jump in July; production elsewhere in manufacturing was unchanged. The index for mining fell 0.6 percent in August, while the index for utilities rose 0.6 percent. At 107.1 percent of its 2012 average, total industrial production in August was 0.9 percent above its year-earlier level.

Capacity utilization for the industrial sector fell 0.4 percentage point in August to 77.6 percent, a rate that is 2.5 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2014) average.
