IE Business Daily Business news for the Inland Empire.
The Inland Empire’s manufacturing sector is apparently back on solid footing.
The region’s purchasing managers index last month was 53, virtually unchanged from October and well above the 50 benchmark that indicates manufacturing growth, according to the monthly report in Inland manufacturing released Monday by the Institute of Applied Research and Policy Analysis at Cal State San Bernardino.
After slipping below 50 in September, the region’s manufacturing sector has clearly rebounded, said Barbara Sirotnik, director of the institute and one of the report’s authors.
“We’re seeing slow, steady growth,” Sirotnik said.
