COVID-Fatigue, Misinformation Weighing on Consumers in 2022
The Gulf South Index reports recent date on how consumers in this region feel as we approach two years of navigating a global health pandemic. Just when we thought things were returning to a familiar rhythm of what we remember as normalcy and we were gearing up for a joyous holiday season, Omicron emerged with a vengeance.
A majority of Americans say they feel “worn out” by how the pandemic has impacted their daily lives, and nearly 50% feel “angry” about it, according to the latest Monmouth University Poll. Consumer frustration is also having an impact on how people view the government’s handling of the pandemic.
‣6 in 10 Americans feel worn out by the pandemic
‣53% in the Gulf South think it is a good time to find a good paying job
Read the full Index report here. The Gulf South Index delves into hundreds of thousands of data points to understand how millions of people living in the Gulf South are going about their lives.
