    Chicago Business Barometer Indicates Slower Growth

    Written by Sandy Williams


    The Chicago Business Barometer dropped 5.4 points to 60.8 in November, wiping out October’s sharp increase, and moving closer to September’s level of 60.5. Manufacturing growth continues but at a slower pace.

    New orders slid 11.7 points to 61.9 following a one year high in October. Overall, barring an unexpected December decline, orders should be higher in Q4 than Q3.
