Manufacturing Eases in Kansas City in April
Written by Sandy Williams
The Tenth District joins the Dallas and Richmond Federal Reserves in reporting slower manufacturing activity in the region. The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City in its April Manufacturing Survey reported its month-over-month composite index was 7 in April, after readings of 20 in March and 14 in February.
Most of the indexes that make up the composite fell in April. New orders, production and shipments were positive but down from the previous month’s readings. The employment index dropped from 17 to 14.
