Manufacturing and Service continues to expand
The U.S. Service and Manufacturing business expansion (growth) or contraction (decline) is tracked by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). The ISM Manufacturing index for April was 54.9 up from 53.7 in March 2014. Since April 2011 the U.S manufacturing has been expanding.
The ISM index number above 50 indicates that businesses are growing and a number below 50 indicates that businesses are contracting. So at 50, there is no growth or contraction. It is good news when businesses grow or expand because businesses hire more people to make more Goods and provide more Services. On the other hand, when businesses contract, it means fewer jobs and more layoffs, which is a bad sign for the economy. This is the 34th month is a row for manufacturing expansion. During the recent recession, the ISM was recorded at dismal 33.3 in December 2008.
