Strong consumer confidence and good weather made for a great start to the holiday shopping season, according to NJBIA’s Andrew Musick. He was a guest on “Jersey Matters” talk show over the weekend discussing the economic trends New Jersey businesses are seeing.
“The initial five-day weekend from Thanksgiving to cyber Monday really shows you that consumers are confident, and with low unemployment tied into that, they have disposable income at their fingertips that they can spend,” Musick said. “I think you’re seeing some growth in what they’re willing to spend during the holidays.”
