Scorelogix October 2010 Manufacturing Job Security Index Report

The Scorelogix® Manufacturing Job Security Index™ increased by 2 points or 8.3% in October 2010 compared to September 2010. October’s increase is the seventh consecutive monthly increase in 2010 and marks a break from the strong declines in the first quarter 2010. These gains are consistent with the steady improvement over the last six months as the manufacturing sector climbs from the downward trend seen through the first quarter of the year. Retailers continue to restock and increased exports appear to be helping this improvement.
