Regional Business Surveys: Special Topics
The New York Fed’s Empire State Manufacturing Survey and Business Leaders Survey query firms on a monthly basis to obtain timely data on important indicators including general business conditions, orders, prices, employment, and capital spending. Four or five times per year, the surveys extend to ask the respondent firms special questions (some on a recurring basis). Firms participating help shed light on topics such as changing credit conditions, supply disruptions, wage and hiring trends, and the business impact of remote work arrangements.
Formerly released as the Supplemental Survey Report, the responses are now synthesized in analysis on Liberty Street Economics
(September 2024).
