The Beige Book published on Dec. 4 includes information gathered during October and November. Across districts, prices rose "only at a modest pace" while profit margins for firms were down due to rising input prices — those are costs for the materials and labor needed to make goods.

The article from Journalists Resource discusses the Federal Reserve's Beige Book, a summary of economic conditions across the 12 Federal Reserve Districts, released in December 2024. It highlights various economic indicators and trends, including labor market conditions, consumer spending, manufacturing, real estate, and banking. Key points include a slight uptick in economic activity, with some districts reporting modest growth while others noted stagnation or slight declines. There's mention of persistent labor shortages in certain sectors, a cautious approach to hiring, and a mixed bag in consumer spending with some areas showing resilience while others see a pullback. The article also suggests story ideas for journalists, such as exploring regional disparities in economic recovery, the impact of inflation on different income groups, and how businesses are adapting to supply chain disruptions and labor market challenges. It emphasizes the importance of localizing national economic trends to provide context and relevance to local audiences.
