TOKYO – Japan’s service sector sentiment index rose in April for a second month, a Cabinet Office survey showed on Thursday.
The survey of workers such as taxi drivers, hotel workers and restaurant staff, called “economy watchers” for their proximity to consumer and retail trends, showed their confidence about current economic conditions increased 2.6 points to 50.4.
