KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City released the February Manufacturing Survey today. According to Megan Williams, associate economist and survey manager, the survey revealed that Tenth District manufacturing activity declined slightly, but expectations for future activity remained expansionary.
“Regional factory activity continued to fall in February,” said Williams. “Firms decreased employment levels moderately this month but expect overall activity and employment to increase in the next six months.
A summary of the February survey is below. The February survey incorporates new seasonal adjustment factors using Census X-13 ARIMA-SEATS, so historical indexes differ slightly from previously released numbers. The new seasonal factors will be used throughout 2025.
