Note—Based on data from Federal Reserve, McGraw-Hill Economics Department
and Department of Commerce. For description and back data, see Federal Reserve
Bulletin, November 1966, pp. 1605-15 and also July 1967, pp. 1096-98. The output
index for total manufacturing divided by the capacity index for total manufacturing
may differ slightly from the utilization rate for total manufacturing shown in the
table, partly because of rounding and partly because the utilization rate is calculated as a weighted average of utilization rates for primary processing industries
and advanced processing industries.
