Hawaii economic gauge falls 0.5% in September

Advertiser Staff

Hawai'i's coincident index fell by 0.5 percent in September, according to a report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.

The decline compared with a fall in the national coincident index of 0.1 percent.
The index measures economic indicators thought to closely coincide with the overall economy such as jobs, unemployment, average hours worked in manufacturing and inflation-adjusted income.
