The U.S. service sector growth slowed slightly in November as supply and labor strains continued to hamper activity, data from a survey of purchasing managers showed Friday.

U.S. consumer spending was strong during the fall but it was held back by low inventories, the Federal Reserve said Wednesday in its Beige Book report. That left the U.S. economy growing at a "modest to moderate" pace, according to the periodic collection of business anecdotes from around the country. It also noted that businesses throughout the U.S. reported rising input costs and said they were passing them on to customers, and that most firms expect supply-chain disruptions to...
