Backlog of Orders Signals Durable Economic Upturn
The National Association of Manufacturers reports a rising backlog of orders, with $28 billion in new orders and $25 billion in sales this year. The NAM notes the gap of $3 billion means factories must stay active to catch up, and new orders have trended up since late 1954, outpacing current sales and spurring future activity.
