Minnesota manufacturing sector continues to grow

Minnesota's manufacturing sector continues to expand, according to the latest Business Conditions Index report from Creighton University.

In December, Minnesota's index climbed to 56.9, up from 54.7 in November. A score above 50 indicates growth. December marked the 26th straight month that factories in the state signaled expansion. Durable goods manufacturers have noted healthy gains over the past few months, while non-durable goods producers, such as food manufacturers, have suffered somewhat of a slowdown.
