Mining and quarrying account for 11 percent of production and utilities account for the remaining 11 percent.

Latest Updates

Industrial production in the US was little changed in April 2025, missing market expectations of a 0.2% gain, as declines in manufacturing and mining were offset by a solid gain in utilities output. Manufacturing output fell 0.4%, reversing a 0.4% increase in March, while mining slipped 0.3% after rising 1.1% the previous month. In contrast, utilities output jumped 3.3%, driven by higher demand for both electricity and natural gas. Capacity utilization edged down to 77.7%, remaining 1.9 percentage points below its long-term average (1972–2024), suggesting continued slack in the industrial sector.
