What does the US factory orders table measure?

It measures the total monthly value of new orders received by United States manufacturers, covering industries such as machinery, electrical equipment, and transportation equipment.

How often is this data published and how far back does it go?

The data is published monthly by the Census Bureau and historical series begin in 1992.

What breakdowns are available in the table?

The table provides figures for total manufacturing, durable goods, capital goods, consumer durables, and specific industries like steel, machinery, and defense communications equipment.

How should I read the seasonally adjusted and unadjusted values?

Seasonally adjusted figures remove regular calendar and seasonal variations to show underlying trends, while unadjusted figures present the raw USD million values.
