In November 2025, the U.S. manufacturing sector continued to contract, with the Manufacturing PMI at 48.2% for the ninth consecutive month, even as the overall economy kept growing. Production improved and moved into expansion, but new orders and employment fell, with many companies reducing staff rather than hiring. Raw material prices, particularly steel and aluminum, rose for the 14th month, while supplier deliveries sped up and customer inventories remained low, signaling potential for future production.
