About the US industrial production growth
Industrial production measures the real output of US factories, mines and electric and gas utilities. The Federal Reserve publishes the index monthly; the chart shows its change from a year earlier.
Output falls sharply in most recessions, so the series is one of the indicators the National Bureau of Economic Research looks at when it dates the start and end of a recession. The data go back to 1919.
