On Monday, Creighton University’s Economic Forecasting Group released the latest installment of the Mid-America Economic Survey http://www2.creighton.edu/business/economicoutlook/regional/mid-americanstates/index.php . The survey of supply managers in nine plains states has been conducted monthly since 1994 to "produce leading economic indicators of the Mid-America economy." The survey provides a snapshot of economic activity in the states of Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
