U.S. factories were hurt by weak European demand for U.S. goods. Markit chief economist Chris Williamson said that should persist "for some time to come" as Europe struggles with austerity budgets and sluggish growth.

One bright spot has been "resilient demand" from the domestic market, which Williamson said has helped U.S. factories outperform those in most other economies.
