image Number of consecutive weeks the retail price of diesel fuel in the US will likely have dropped by the end of this week, as oil and gas/diesel prices continued to fall again this week after seven straight weekly declines. At the end of last week, average diesel prices were about $3.87 a gallon, though that is really not much of a drop versus the $4.14 per gallon peak price for 2012 thus far, reached in late March. But many market analysts expect the trend to continue, as a rising dollar and a general commodity price slump driven by a perceived slowdown in demand from China, whose own economy is wobbling, are pushing oil prices lower.

  • Supply Chain by the Numbers for Week of May 24, 2013

    Number of manufacturing jobs that Houston has created since 2009. That was among the factors that led Forbes magazine to pick Houston as the top US metro area for manufacturing resurgence in the US, factoring in recent, mid-term, and long-term increases in manufacturing employment.

Experts of course say each new manufacturing job creates 6 or 7 other jobs at suppliers and service providers to support the manufacturing operations and employees.

  • Supply Chain Graphic of the Week on Mexican versus Chinese Manufacturing Wages

    We've reported on this before, but we were still interested to see this recent graphic from the analysts at Morgan Stanley on the comparative manufacturing wage rates of China versus Mexico over time. From our view, it is astounding to see the gap between higher Mexican wages in 2002 - more than three times the wages in China just 10 years ago - to the near parity today. <img src="http://www.scdigest.com/images/China_vs_Mexico_Wages.gif" width="600"
