Some mixed message from the Philly services index. Good full-time employment but lower part-time. Ordinarily that’s a good equation but we’d maybe expect a pick up in part-time employment for the holiday period. Bad news on the inflation front with prices falling in both paid and rec’d but then we get higher wage costs. It’s not usually a market moving report but this one is a mostly a negative one.
