Non-Manufacturing Survey

Fifth District non-manufacturing activity was flat in June, according to the most recent survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. In June, the revenues index fell to −1 from 14 and the demand index decreased to 3 from 15. Meanwhile, expectations were strong: the indexes for future revenues and demand remained firmly in positive territory.

The local business conditions index decreased to −9 in June from 0 in May. Meanwhile, the future local business conditions index rose to 15.

The current employment index increased to 8 in June from −1 in May, while the forward-looking employment index was unchanged at 24. Both the current and future wages indexes remained firmly in positive territory.

The average growth rate of prices paid increased slightly while growth in prices received was nearly unchanged. Firms expected growth in prices paid to decrease and growth in prices received to increase slightly over the next 12 months.

*The non-manufacturing survey, formerly called the service sector survey, was renamed to better reflect its updated scope and objectives.
