After declining last month, activity in the region’s service sector grew slightly, according to firms responding to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s November 2019 Business Leaders Survey. The survey’s headline business activity index climbed seven points to 2.9. The business climate index remained negative for a third consecutive month, indicating that, on balance, firms regarded the business climate as worse than normal. Employment levels held steady, and wages increased at their slowest pace in nearly two years. Input prices and selling prices increased at a slower pace than last month. Optimism about future conditions improved from October, though firms continued to express pessimism about the future business climate.
Conditions Remain Sluggish
Growth in business activity in the region’s service sector remained sluggish in November. After dipping below zero last month, the headline business activity index increased seven points to 2.9. Twenty-nine percent of respondents reported that conditions improved over the month, and 26 percent said that conditions worsened. The business climate index increased somewhat, but at -10.5, it indicated that, on balance, firms viewed the business climate as worse than normal. Employment Flat
The employment index was little changed at 1.2, suggesting that employment levels were steady. The wages index moved down seven points to 31.7, its lowest level in nearly two years, pointing to a slowing in wage growth. The prices paid index fell ten points to 32.9, its lowest level in more than three years, signaling a slowing in input price increases. The prices received index edged down two points to 16.1. The capital spending index came in at 12.0. Optimism Subdued
Optimism about the six-month outlook remained subdued. After hitting a multiyear low last month, the index for future business activity rose but remained at a relatively low level of 12.9. The index for future business climate held well below zero, indicating that firms continued to expect the business climate to worsen in the months ahead. The index for planned capital spending fell seven points to 11.3.

The Business Leaders Survey is a monthly survey conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York that asks companies across its District - which includes New York State, Northern New Jersey, and Fairfield County, Connecticut - about recent and expected trends in key business indicators. This survey is designed to parallel the Empire State Manufacturing Survey, though it covers a wider geography and the questions are slightly different. Participants from the service sector respond to a questionnaire and report on a variety of indicators, both in terms of recent and expected changes. While January 2014 is the first published report, survey responses date back to September of 2004 and all historical data are available on our website. Contacts |
