Consumer confidence stays low

Consumer confidence among Floridians continues to hover around an all-time low, according to a regularly updated study conducted by the University of Florida.

UF researchers have set Florida consumer confidence in October at a value of 63, where 150 is the highest possible score and a rating of two is the lowest.

The lowest confidence level ever recorded was in June 2008, when confidence was at a 59 -- just four points below October's confidence level.
