KANSAS CITY, Mo.– The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City released the September 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 moderated slightly but remained solid, and expectations for future production increased further.
“The pace of regional factory activity growth eased slightly but remained positive,” said Wilkerson. “Many firms continued to report rapid increases in input prices, difficulties hiring workers, and supply chain delays. However, production remains considerably higher than a year ago, with the most positive expectations for production in almost 20 years.
”Historical data, results from past surveys and release dates for future surveys can be found at https://kansascityfed.org/surveys/manufacturing-survey/.
