▼ + stars: | 2022-04-15 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

Overall industrial production increased 0.9% last month, keeping pace with February's upwardly revised pace, the Federal Reserve said on Friday. Manufacturing, which accounts for 11.9% of the American economy, has benefited from a shift in spending to goods from services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even as consumer spending shifts back toward services in the months ahead as COVID caseloads ease, "vehicle sales have brighter prospects this year than other categories of durable consumer goods." Capacity use for the manufacturing sector increased to 78.7% in March, the highest level since 2007, from 78.1% in February. Its Empire State Manufacturing Index rose to a four-month high of 24.6 after a reading of negative 11.8 in March.

☆ Don’t Copy New York’s Medicaid Home Care Disaster
▼ + stars: | 2021-04-01 | by ( Bill Hammond | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

As America ages, states are investing in home-based care for the elderly and disabled in hopes of keeping people out of nursing facilities—and maybe saving money in the bargain. Before going too far, they should study how that approach has—and hasn’t—worked in New York. New York’s Medicaid program spends far more than any other on the nonmedical form of home care known as personal care or personal assistance, which covers services such as bathing, dressing, feeding and housekeeping for people who can’t manage those tasks on their own. According to a federal analysis of 2019 Medicaid spending, the Empire State’s annual personal-care outlays of $12 billion were the largest in the nation, and nearly as much as the other 49 states combined. Its per capita expenditures were eight times the U.S. average.

Elon Musk reveals prototypes of the Tesla Solar Roof on October 28, 2016 TeslaEven with a record fourth quarter for its solar energy and storage systems business, Tesla's energy revenue declined by over $24 million in 2019, after several rounds of layoffs that started the prior year. Tesla said, in its annual financial report on Thursday, that it's ramping up solar photovoltaic production at its plant in Buffalo, New York. "We have recently started manufacturing solar panels at this facility in collaboration with Panasonic," the filing states. Since the acquisition, solar energy has been a relatively small and dwindling business for Tesla, in part because of delays in manufacturing and a longer development cycle than expected. Musk said last March that 2019 would be the "year of the solar roof."
