Note: The statistics in this release cover output, capacity, and capacity utilization in the industrial sector, which is defined by the Federal Reserve to comprise manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities. Mining is defined as all industries in sector 21 of the North American Industry Classification System, or NAICS; electric and gas utilities are those in NAICS sectors 2211 and 2212. Manufacturing comprises NAICS industries (sector 31-33) plus the logging industry and the newspaper, periodical, book, and directory publishing industries. Logging and publishing are classified elsewhere in NAICS (under agriculture and information respectively), but historically they were considered to be manufacturing and were included in the industrial sector under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. In December 2002, the Federal Reserve reclassified all its industrial output data from the SIC system to NAICS. 1. Data in this table appear in the Board's G.17(419) monthly statistical release. The latest historical revision of the industrial production index and the capacity utilization rates was released in March 2008. The recent annual revision will be described in an upcoming issue of the Federal Reserve Bulletin. Return to table 2. Monthly highs, 1978-80; monthly lows, 1982. Return to table 3. Monthly highs, 1988-89; monthly lows, 1990-91. Return to table 4. Capacity utilization is calculated as the ratio of the Federal Reserve's seasonally adjusted index of industrial production to the corresponding index of capacity. Return to table |
