NOTE: Each index is calculated
by subtracting the percentage reporting a decrease from
the percentage reporting an increase. When all firms
report that activity has increased, an index will register
100. An index will register –100 when all firms
report a decrease. An index will be zero when the number
of firms reporting an increase or decrease is equal.
Items may not add up to 100% because of rounding.
