Ohio and we tend to lag all trends, economic and otherwise.Here is the latest from one analyst:
By PETER SVENSSON, The Associated Press via the San Francisco Examiner
The service sector of the U.S. economy expanded in May, but at a slower pace than in April, a private survey of supply managers said on Monday.
The report offered a possible indication that fuel prices are starting to crimp growth in the service sector, which accounts for two-thirds of the U.S. economy. The survey by the Institute for Supply Management indicated concern about the prices of raw materials and fuels.
The ISM index of non-manufacturing activity was 60.1 in May, down from 63 in April. The latest reading matched analysts' expectations.
A reading of 50 and above points to growth, while a figure below 50 signals contraction.
How is the service economy in your part of the world?
