Recent surveys and economic data indicate that Americans are experiencing a profound sense of dejection regarding their income and business prospects, reaching levels not seen in over a decade. This trend is marked by increasing consumer pessimism, rising inflation concerns, and challenges in the labor market. The combination of these factors has led to a weakening in overall economic confidence.
According to The Conference Board's latest Consumer Confidence Survey, consumers' assessments of current business conditions have become significantly less positive. Only 17.7% of respondents described business conditions as "good," down from 19.1% in February 2025, while those viewing conditions as "bad" increased to 16.6% from 14.8%[5]. This decline reflects growing unease about the economic future, with consumers expressing more pessimism about their income prospects and the labor market outlook.
Inflation remains a major issue, with many consumers and businesses alike citing it as a significant challenge. NFIB's Small Business Economic Trends report highlights that inflation is the second most pressing problem for small business owners, only surpassed by labor quality[3]. As prices continue to rise, Americans are finding it increasingly difficult to budget and plan for the future.
Interestingly, despite consumer pessimism, a sizeable portion of small and mid-sized business owners remain optimistic about revenue growth. A Bank of America study found that nearly 80% of these business owners anticipate an increase in revenue over the next 12 months, though concerns about inflation persist[1]. While this optimism is encouraging, it contrasts sharply with the broader consumer sentiment.
The rise of side hustles reflects an additional dimension of economic uncertainty. Approximately 34% of Americans have a side hustle, often driven by a desire to supplement their income or ensure financial security[2]. This trend underscores a growing belief that a single income source is insufficient in the current economic climate.
Polls, such as JUST Capital's Americans' Views on Business Survey, show that while many Americans view capitalism as beneficial, there is skepticism about its impact on average individuals. Only about one-third believe capitalism is working for them[4]. This perception gap highlights a broader societal concern with economic equity and corporate responsibility.
Looking ahead, the economic landscape is marked by uncertainty. Consumers' expectations for business conditions have worsened, and concerns about inflation and job availability persist[5]. Small business owners, despite their optimism about growth, face challenges such as labor quality and capital outlays[3].
As Americans navigate this period of economic dejection, policymakers and business leaders must prioritize addressing inflation, enhancing job security, and promoting economic transparency. By focusing on these critical issues, there is potential for a brighter economic future that benefits both businesses and individuals alike.
