Chicagoland consumers are less confident in the U.S. economy than the national average, according to the Rasmussen Consumer Index for Chicagoland released today by the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce. Confidence among consumers in Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will Counties stood at 105.3 at the end of June compared to the national average of 108.6.
