At 102.8 in September, the manufacturing index was its highest since July 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>Manufacturing output would be even higher if automakers hadn\u2019t been having severe supply chain problems this year,<\/u><\/strong> though those problems are reportedly beginning to dissipate. Production of motor vehicles and parts account directly for around 6.7% of U.S. manufacturing output, the Fed says, but its full contribution is higher if output from other industries that are inputs to auto making (steel, chemicals, etc) were fully included. According to the Fed, U.S. motor vehicle assemblies in September 2022 were an annualized 10.7 million, the most since November 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>Overall capacity utilization was a preliminary and seasonally adjusted 80.3% in September, technically its highest since March 2008,<\/u><\/strong> but not materially different than it\u2019s been for several months.
