U.S. industrial production jumps 0.6 percent in September

(Oct. 28, 2013) -- "While most of the headline increase in September reflected a jump in the volatile utilities component, the gain in manufacturing output in the month, while modest, built on a stronger increase in August and, despite a drop in July, left the measure still up an annualized 1.3 percent in the third quarter of 2013 as a whole," said Janzen.
