The Purchasing Manager’s Indices have rolled in and rolled up to the high 50’s and low 60’s for most of the largest producer countries around the globe, and previously troubled countries are experiencing upward movement above 50 for their own manufacturing sectors during the current 101-month manufacturing economic expansion, now the 3rd longest economic recovery since the end of WWII. Senior International Correspondents Norbert Ore and Royce Lowe discuss this positive growth from their respective areas of study on Manufacturing Talk Radio. In addition, refer to the Manufacturing Report on Business(R) and Non-Manufacturing Report on Business(R) issued by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) earlier this month to round out the picture globally as well as by industry.
