Good news: According the Wall Street Journal, U.S. factories experienced an increase in demand in December, and new orders for manufactured goods rose for the second month in a row. WSJ also reports that “the number of unfilled orders also moved upward, indicating that factories will need to ramp up production in coming months. The increase came as companies restocked shelves late last year following a summer slowdown.”
