December 4, 2023--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--U.S. manufacturing activity was unchanged in November, according to a survey report by the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), as demand continued to show contraction. Still, Industrial Info is tracking about $67 million worth of U.S. Industrial Manufacturing Industry projects that are planned to kick off in the first quarter of 2024--about 33% of which is attributed to data center projects.
