US industry production jumps in Sept

US industrial production jumped in September for a third straight
month, the Federal Reserve reported Thursday in a further sign of a
reviving manufacturing sector. Output at the nation's factories, mines
and utilities rose 0.7 percent after an upwardly revised gain of
1.2 percent in August, the US central bank said in a report. It
marked the first period of sustained increase since 2007 , when the
United States plunged into recession.
