Ga. factories increase activity – Northwest Georgia News: State

ATLANTA — Activity at Georgia’s factories increased in several ways, according to a survey released Thursday by Kennesaw State University’s Econometric Center.

The Purchasing Managers Index compiled from the survey rose 1.6 points in December from the previous month to 53.9. Economists believe a reading above 50 on the index predicts growth in the overall economy.

The national index stands at 57.0 after falling 0.3 points.
