What do US manufacturing unfilled orders measure?

US manufacturing unfilled orders measure the total value of orders for manufactured products that have not yet been shipped or completed. They serve as a key indicator of future production commitments and industrial demand in the United States.

How often is the US manufacturing unfilled orders table updated?

The table is published monthly by the Census Bureau as part of the Manufacturers' Shipments, Inventories, and Orders report, with historical series extending back to 1992.

What industry breakdowns are available in this table?

The data covers total manufacturing, durable and nondurable goods, primary metals, machinery, computers, electronic products, transportation equipment, and defense capital goods, provided in USD million.

Are the figures adjusted for seasonal variations?

Yes, the table provides both seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted figures to help analysts evaluate underlying trends without calendar distortions.
