Blog - ISM - Continued Growth, but No End in Sight for Labor, Commodity Shortages - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/blog-ism-

According to the latest manufacturing business report from the Institute for Supply Management, the September Manufacturing PMI
grew 1.2 points to 61.1%, up from August’s 59.9%. The manufacturing economy grew for a sixteenth month in a row since
contraction in April 2020.
The ISM’s New Orders index remained unchanged at 66.7%. Production fell 0.6 points to 59.4% from 60.0% in August. Employment
resumed growth from a slight dip in August to hit 50.2%, up 1.2 from August (49.0%).
The story is the same as it has been for the past several months of manufacturing. Demand for products is up and finding stable
workers and cost-effective supplies is challenging. Despite those challenges, manufacturers are taking the long view and mostly
remain optimistic, according to Timothy Fiore, president of the Institute for Supply Management’s Business Survey Committee. Fiore
noted that survey respondents made about three positive comments about growth to every cautious comment.
