The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City released the December Services Survey today. According to Cortney Cowley, assistant vice president and Oklahoma City Branch executive, results from the survey showed that Tenth District services activity grew slightly in December, and expectations for future services activity increased moderately.

“Regional services activity increased slightly in December, as sales and revenues rebounded,” said Cowley. “Employment levels continued to decline, but firms expect growth in the next six months.”

A summary of the December survey is below. The December 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. Historical data, results from past surveys and release dates for future surveys are available at External Linkwww.kansascityfed.org/surveys/services-survey/.
