48.8 in August to 51.2 in September. The
diffusion index measures the dispersion
of employment change in manufacturing,
with a value above 50 indicating that
more manufacturing industries are
adding jobs than losing them. September
marks the first month since March that
the index registered above 50.

Automotive sales, as measured by

changed little (-13,000) in September.
There has been virtually no net change in
employment over the past 3 months—a
departure from the robust job growth the
industry had experienced after reaching
an employment trough in December
2009. Employment in most component
industries within leisure and hospitality
changed little in September. Museums,
historical sites, and similar institutions,
however, did add 3,000 jobs, following
several months of small declines.
