KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City released the September Manufacturing Survey today. According to Chad Wilkerson, vice president and economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, the survey revealed that growth in Tenth District manufacturing activity edged higher in September, and although expectations moderated slightly, producers on net still anticipated increased activity over the next six months.
“Factory activity in our region continues to grow modestly, and firms generally expect this trend to continue,” said Wilkerson. “Price indexes also
edged higher this month after generally decelerating earlier in the summer.”
