In August, the ISM Services PMI registered 52%, indicating the sector continued to expand for the third consecutive month. Growth was driven by stronger business activity, which rose to 55%, and new orders, which climbed to 56%, signaling robust demand. However, employment remained in contraction for the third straight month at 46.5%, reflecting ongoing labor challenges. Supplier deliveries slowed slightly, and the Prices Index, though down slightly to 69.2%, stayed elevated, pointing to persistent cost pressures. Inventories expanded for the third month in a row, while the backlog of orders fell to 40.4%, the lowest level since May 2009.



Overall, the services sector is growing, but weak employment, declining backlogs, and high prices indicate underlying pressures.
