"For the second straight month, manufacturing activity in the New York region slowed, this time to the lowest level since April 2009, during the worst of the global recession. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Empire Manufacturing Survey dropped to a minus 10.4 reading in September, nearly double the slowdown from August’s reading of minus 5.85, and five times as bad as the median forecast of the 53 economists surveyed by Bloomberg, which called for a reading of minus 2. The slowdown was broad and deep, from new orders and shipments to employment. All sank more than expected."



"This would be less of a problem if it were just a regional slump. But the New York data is clearly part of a much bigger trend. Last week, the Fed reported a sharp contraction in the country’s industrial output, which showed that production from factories, mines, and utilities fell by 1.2 percent last month—the biggest drop since 2009 and also well below expectations. Slowing U.S. exports have pushed the monthly trade deficit in manufactured goods to a record $63.9 billion. After creating 500,000 jobs since 2010, factories are starting to cut workers."

Manufacturing is in trouble. I should start keeping tabs on railroads to see if it shoes there first.
