The Supplier Deliveries Index worsened from 52.6% to 50.8% "The rebounds in both the Business Activity and New Orders indexes in October are positive signs, while the continued contraction in the Employment index shows a lack of confidence in the continued strength of the economy," Business Survey Committee Chair Steve Miller commented.
