Report Finds Economic Growth Continued, But Slowed in West Michigan

West Michigan’s economy continued to grow last month, but the latest report for the National Association of Purchasing Management shows that growth slowed. 

The Director of Supply Chain Management Research for Grand Valley State University Brian Long compiles the monthly report based on a survey of businesses in the region. Most economic indicators remained positive in September, but Long says for the first time since 2009 the employment index was negative.
