US manufacturing output hits a six-year high
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8599343.stm

The US manufacturing sector expanded in March at its fastest rate for six years, a report has said.

The Institute for Supply Management's (ISM's) purchasing managers index rose to 59.6 points last month, up from 56.5 in February.

A figure of 50 or above represents growth, and March was the eighth month in succession that US manufacturers have increased their output.

1. Sorry to be sarcastic, but ....
So, the three or four manufacturing plants left in the country have increased output to sell to a few towns where? Or are we mostly exporting the stuff built on lower wages and that super high, (need less and less employees) burn-them-out productivity levels? ;)

Note the rest of the articles that lay with this dog.

Just sarcasm ... nothing to see here folks. Oh ... look! A shiny thing!

Industry ho!
