Business
Conditions Report
May 2008
General Description
The
first of every month, PMA’s manufacturing members are asked to express their opinions on current and future
business trends.
Monthly percentages for each question equal 100%. The trend line will move up or down depending on
whether responses are more or less positive. The higher the trend line, the greater the ratio of respondents who answered with the
top option as opposed to the bottom option. If there are an equal number of answers for the top, middle and bottom
options, the trend line will be directly in the middle of the graph.
This
month’s report reflects the views of approximately 26% or 149 PMA manufacturing members. Information is reported based on conditions as of May 1, 2008.
