Two surveys conducted by American businesses this month and showed that the US economy continued to have a steady growth, despite the fact that manufacturers who served plenty of blue-collar jobs had constrained for the past months. According to the readings of IHS Markit, the manufacturing PMI dropped to 52.5 in May versus the previous 52.8 which marked an eight-month low. The manufacturers witnessed an increase that started in the latter part of 2016 and resumed earlier this year prior the recent ease up. While companies tend to slow down their production later on, in order to fend off too much inventory buildups. Any reading that exceeds 50 and above would indicate that many executives are optimistic enough that business setting will improve. Markit also mentioned that the services index of the United States climb higher reaching its 4-month high at 54, compared with the former 53.1. The service sector of the economy takes up four out five workers in the US over different fields like banking, medical care, real estate, retail, and travel. Apart from the slide of the manufacturing industry, the economy of U.S. shows a momentum recovery during the Q2 in spite of its lack of success in 2017. Moreover, the MarketWatch polled some economists to project the growth in the state, saying that it will surge up gaining 3% in the spring versus the 0.7% in the Q1 while there other predictions that it will expand to 4%.
