“According to the NMI, 15 non-manufacturing industries reported growth in July,” said Anthony Nieves, CPSM, C.P.M., CFPM, chair of the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Non-Manufacturing Business Survey Committee. “The majority of the respondents’ comments reflect stability and continued growth for their respective companies and a positive outlook on the economy.”
