Tenth District Survey of Manufacturers
介绍堪萨斯城联邦储备银行开发的第十区制造业季度调查，旨在提供该区域制造业状况的及时信息，弥补月度就业数据的滞后性。
Manufacturing is a major force in the Tenth District economy, accounting for the largest share of output in the region and one of the largest shares of employment. Moreover, many manufacturing jobs are among the highest paying jobs in the district. Yet little information is available to track the performance of this major sector. Monthly employment data provide the most current information, but these data are only available with a considerable lag.> To provide up-to-date information about manufacturing conditions in the Tenth District, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City has developed a quarterly survey of manufacturing plants. Smith provides background information for users of the manufacturing survey. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 1995, the survey results will be published in each issue of the bank's Regional Economic Digest.
