Growth in the nation’s services sector slowed last month, according to the results of an industry survey released on Monday.

The Institute for Supply Management said its index of non-manufacturing activity came in at 56.5 for March. This was down from the level of 56.9 seen in the previous month.

Any reading above 50 indicates expansion in the section. While March’s reading remained above 50, the drop from February’s result suggested a slowdown in growth for the county’s services sectors.
