More news on manufacturing, this time current. This is an excerpt from
the article:
Nearly half of the manufacturing industry's 73 subsectors were
expanding through February, according to the National Association of
Manufacturers. Manufacturing output rose 1.8 percent in 2007 and is
forecast to climb to 1.5 percent in 2008 as continued export strength
cushions the blow of slumping home and automobile sales, said David
Huether, NAM's chief economist.
