Japan consumer mood improves in February

TOKYO, March 15 (Reuters) - Japanese consumer confidence improved in February, a Cabinet Office survey showed on Monday.

The survey's sentiment index for general households, which includes views on incomes and jobs, was 39.8 in February, up from 39.0 in January.

The government upgraded its assessment of consumer sentiment, saying that it was essentially flat. Previously, it had said there was some weakness.

The survey began in 1982. "General households" are those with two or more people, and a reading below 50 suggests consumer pessimism.

Following is a comparison with previous months:

FEB JAN DEC NOV General households 39.8 39.0 37.6 39.5
