“The recovery of growth momentum across the U.S. private sector continued to quicken at the start of 2020, with overall output rising at the sharpest pace since last March. Nonetheless, the underlying data highlights a manufacturing sector that is not out of the woods yet, with goods producers seeing only modest gains in output and new orders.

Service providers also registered a slower upturn in new business, which fed through to softer increases in output charges as part of efforts to attract new customers. On a positive note, private sector firms increased their workforce numbers at a faster rate, with some
also expressing frustration at a lack of available candidates to fill vacancies. Job creation reflected stronger optimism regarding future output.

Muted increases in costs and output charges
reportedly stemmed from both producers and suppliers increasing their efforts to boost sales.
