Armstrong 4th Quarter 2011 Economic Monitor

Summary: The coincident index shows economic activity in the metro Savannah area decreased slightly. It is believed that conflicting Department of Labor data regarding employment and decreased electricity use contributed to the lower numbers.

A coincident index is "a single summary statistic that tracks the current state of the economy. The index is computed from a number of data series that move systematically with overall economic conditions. A rise in the index indicates an expansion of economic activity and a decline in the index indicates a contraction in economic activity. Each of the regional indexes is computed using data on employment, real earnings, the unemployment rate and average weekly hours worked in manufacturing," according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
