​
Manufacturing conditions in the region “continued to weaken” in November​
  • Indicators for general activity remained negative
  • Indexes for new orders and shipments turned negative
  • Labor market indicators weakened
  • Firms reported essentially unchanged prices for raw materials and other inputs, as well as for prices of their own products
  • Although future indicators decreased, the majority of firms—53%—expect increases over the next six months, and only 16% expect decreases in business
