KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City released the December Manufacturing Survey today. According to Chad Wilkerson, vice president and economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, the survey revealed that Tenth District manufacturing activity growth edged higher, but expectations for future activity moderated slightly.
"Regional factory activity continued to grow modestly in December," said Wilkerson. "Materials price increases slowed slightly from a month ago, and most firms expected to raise wages in 2022."
