Manufacturing Tech Orders Bump Up for November

The U.S. Manufacturing Technology Orders report for November is out, and the numbers are up for the month, though still down for the year.

Order values increased 2.2% across the board compared to October, with the biggest industry investment in appliances, automotive, computer and electronics, and HVAC, a trickle-down effect, according to the Association for Manufacturing Technology, of the year’s new housing starts. The year-to-date orders are down 17.2% from the same point in 2014.
