With our Make it in America Agenda, the economy continues to make strides in the right direction. Today, the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) released their January report finding:
The manufacturing sector expanded for the 18th consecutive monthManufacturing activity grew at its fastest pace in 7 yearsISM’s employment index reached its highest level since 1973, indicating a willingness to hire
The factory sector expanded in January at the fastest pace in seven years, as manufacturers reported a sharp jump in new orders. …The employment index also rose, a sign that manufacturing companies are hiring more workers.
Conditions for the nation’s manufacturers improved for the 20th straight month, the Institute for Supply Management reported Tuesday. The ISM index rose to 60.8% in January from 58.5% in December. This is the highest level of the factory index since last May. The report was much stronger than expected.
