A reading above 50 percent indicates the sector is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates the is generally contracting. 5 out of the 10 categories in the Manufacturing survey are below 50. I have averaged the Manufacturing and Non-manufacturing components to create a composite reading. 9 of the 10 categories in the composite are above 50.
