The D6 Factor fell to –6.4 in March. Since the start of this recession in December 2007, the index has fallen by 3.8 points and continues to set record monthly historical lows. The persistent decline reflects the broad-based decrease seen in most of the Sixth District economic data used to compute the index. (A negative value indicates that economic conditions are weak.)
Note: This month's report is unchanged from the April update because data for some of the series used to calculate the index were unavailable.
