U.S. manufacturers’ sales rose for the second consecutive month, posting a 5.3% increase in September 2009 when compared to August 2009. Sales in September 2009 are down 29.6% compared to the same period last year. Orders in September 2009 increased by 9.1% over August 2009 orders.
 
Canadian manufacturers’ sales rose by 14% compared to August 2009. Sales were down 29.1% when compared to the same period last year.
 
Product-by-product sales between August 2009 and September 2009 reflect the change in sales experienced by U.S. and Canadian manufacturers. Seven of nine product categories for U.S. manufacturers posted sales gains. For Canadian manufacturers, eight product categories posted sales gains.
