The Mid America Business Conditions Index, a monthly survey of businesses for a nine-state region, from Arkansas to North Dakota continues to show economic growth ahead.
Ernie Goss, director of Creighton University’s Economic Forecasting Group, says the overall index fell a bit, but is still strong…..
Any number over fifty in the survey is considered growth positive.
Goss says the jobs index also continues to show good potential…..

Goss says most businesses expect wages to also grow, but at a slow pace…..

Goss says the fate of a tax cut bill, and trade policy will have a big impact on businesses in the region.
