Overview
Industry vitality is defined as the health of the industries classes that people
work for. How is health measured? Vitality uses a stock market indice for each
industry classification of which there are 10. The theory is people who work in
a particular industry that is doing well financially (as measured by their stock
price) are most likely feeling secure about their jobs which in turn affects
their spending behavior. Conversely industries doing poorly may impact their
employees to pull back on spending.
