FORECAST:

Reuters' survey of economists expected a median reading of

53.5 in November versus an October reading of 54.2.

THE SURVEY:

ISM compiles its diffusion index by surveying more than 370

purchasing executives in more than 62 different service

industries once a month.

The responses reflect the change in the current month

compared to the previous month. The non-manufacturing ISM

report is seasonally adjusted except for the business activity,

new orders, imports, and employment. The ISM

non-manufacturing survey was launched in July 1997.
