Stay informed with monthly insights into the state's retail performance from
the Michigan Retail Index Survey.
Established in 1994, the Michigan Retail Index is a monthly survey conducted by MRA in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. It tracks sales, inventory, pricing, promotional activities, and hiring trends among Michigan retailers and provides valuable insight into the state's retail climate.
Each month, the Michigan Retail Index survey asks for trend information on sales, inventory, pricing, promotional activities, and hiring for the current (past) month, and the next 3-month outlook. The survey only takes a few minutes to submit, and provides valuable information that helps shape the future of retail in Michigan.
