filling continue to plague efforts to adequately staff orga- nizations, but to a lesser degree compared to the previous month. Inputs — expressed as supplier deliveries, invento- ries and imports — continued to constrain production ex- pansion but to a lesser extent compared to May. “The Supplier Deliveries Index indicated deliveries slowed at a slower rate in June, which was supported by a slight increase in the Inventories Index. The Imports Index expanded in June after one month of contraction preced- ed by six consecutive months of expansion. The Prices In- dex increased for the 25th consecutive month, at a slower rate compared to May. “Manufacturing performed well for the 25th straight month. There are signs of new order rate softening — cited in 17 percent of general comments, compared to 10 per- cent in May — but the root cause is difficult to determine: (1) demand reduction, (2) adjustment for excessive lead times, causing order rate adjustments or (3) a combination of both. Employment activity remain strongly positive in spite of the uncertainty with new order rates,” says Fiore. Fifteen manufacturing industries reported growth in June, among them Computer & Electronic Products; Ma- chinery and Food, Beverage & Tobacco Products. The three industries reporting contraction in June compared to May are: Paper Products; Wood Products; and Furniture & Related Products.
