Brian Calley and Sarah Miller from the Small Business Association of Michigan led a discussion on Michigan’s economic outlook, focusing on unemployment trends, labor force participation, and how national economic indicators affect local businesses. The session included an analysis of steady unemployment rates in Michigan and compared them to national averages.
The conversation also covered labor force participation rates and their implications for the state’s economy. Calley and Miller examined recent stock market performance and investor sentiment, as well as inflation data such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI). They discussed how these factors may influence future decisions by the Federal Reserve regarding interest rates.
The briefing concluded with announcements about upcoming events for association members, including a gubernatorial candidate series designed to provide more information to small business owners across Michigan.
