WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Businesses in the nonmanufacturing sectors of the economy were growing at a robust pace in April, according to the Institute for Supply Management.
The ISM nonmanufacturing index rose to 56% in April from 52.4% in March, the ISM said Thursday.
Economists surveyed by MarketWatch were expecting the index to rise to 53.3%.
Readings over 50% in the diffusion index mean more firms were growing than were shrinking. The index has been above 50% for 49 straight months.
Thirteen of 18 industries were expanding in April, ISM said. Two industries were shrinking.
The new orders index rose to 55.5% in April from 53.8% in March. The employment index rose to 51.9% in April from 50.8% in March.
The prices-paid index rose to 63.5% in April from 63.3% in March. Firms said they were concerned about fuel and energy costs.
Three commodities were in short supply: Construction services, purchasing professionals, and tires.
Inventories were growing.
On Tuesday, the ISM said its manufacturing index rose to a one-year high of 55.7% in April from 50.9%.
