January 2017 US Philly Fed non-manufacturing business activity 29.3 vs 37.7 prior

The unadvertised Philly Fed services index for February 2017

  • Firm level activity 38.0 vs 33.3 prior

  • New orders 25.3 vs 28.9 prior

  • Employment 12.4 vs 19.5 prior

  • Wage and benefit costs 26.7 vs 40.8 prior

Softer numbers from the services side of the survey. Employment isn't such an issue but the Fed would be looking at the wage component.
