Activity in the region’s service sector expanded modestly, according to firms responding to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s November 2018 Business Leaders Survey. The survey’s headline business activity index was little changed at 8.6. The business climate index moved down nine points to 12.9, a sign that firms, on balance, regarded the business climate as better than normal, though to a lesser extent than last month. Employment levels increased modestly, and wage increases continued, though they were somewhat less widespread than in October. The prices paid index remained elevated at 57.1, and the selling price index fell nine points to 19.5. Optimism waned, with the index for future business climate falling to zero for the first time in over a year.

Thirty-two percent of respondents reported that conditions improved over the month, while 24 percent said that conditions worsened. The business climate index fell nine points to 12.9, signaling that, on balance, firms viewed the business climate as better than normal, though to a lesser extent than in October. Price Indexes Remain Elevated
The employment index fell six points to 8.6, indicating that employment increased, though at a slower pace than last month. The wages index fell six points to 34.2, suggesting that while wage gains were significant, they were somewhat less widespread than last month. The prices paid index edged down four points, but remained elevated at 57.1. The prices received index fell nine points to 19.5. The capital spending index climbed six points to 21.3, pointing to solid increases in capital spending. Optimism Wanes

The index for future business activity dropped fifteen points to 17.3, its lowest level in a year, and the index for future business climate fell to zero, a nearly forty-point drop from its level at the beginning of 2018. The index for planned capital spending rose to 34.2, a multiyear high.

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 |
