A booming services sector

Just one non-manufacturing industry failed to report growth in June 
07/07/2017 | ConsumerAffairs |  Job Market Trends June marked the 90th consecutive month of growth in the services, or non-manufacturing, sector of the U.S. economy.

According to the nation's purchasing and supply executives, the Institute for Supply Management's non-manufacturing index came in at 57.4% last month -- up 0.5% from May representing continued growth at a slightly faster rate.

A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the sector; below that suggests contraction.

The Non-Manufacturing Business Activity Index inched up 0.1% to 60.8%, the New Orders Index was up 2.8% to 60.5%, while the Employment Index dropped 2% to 55.8% and the Prices Index increased 2.9% to 52.1%, indicating a price increase following May's decline.
