The WSU Leading Economic Indicators Index decreased 0.9 percent from April to May. That decrease was primarily due to a 0.6 percent decline in the Aircraft Production Index, a monthly indicator available from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. From May 2012 to May 2013, the index decreased 0.4 percent.
