http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/nov/02/pmi-manufacturing-growth Looks like manufactoring is up, but job losses still happening, but the rate of that is falling, as quoted: " although the rate at which firms lay off staff continues to ease, a turn around in the labour market is still some way off." So less good if you want to find a job, but good news if you want to produce and sell things. |
