Michigan retail sales rise for fourth straight month
Michigan retailers report June year over year sales gains for the fourth month in a row as the Michigan Retail Index notes positive activity across 58 percent of retailers. The survey shows 60 percent expect sales to rise July through September, with a 60.1 index reading and a back to school spending surge ahead. The report also cites Michigan unemployment at 3.8 percent, well below the national rate. Nearby notes discuss the Invasive Carp Challenge and a silver carp captured near Lake Michigan as authorities seek regional cooperation to curb invasive species.
