U.S. Economy: Manufacturing Index Rose to 48.2 By Carlos Torres Washington, Jan. 2 (Bloomberg) -- An index of U.S. manufacturing rose last month to the highest level since October 2000 as new orders and production increased, a sign factories are starting to recover from a 17-month slump. The manufacturing index of the Institute for Supply Management, formerly known as the National Association of Purchasing Management, increased to 48.2 last month from 44.5.
