About the Business Barometer

For more than six decades, the Chicago Business Barometer™ has been providing leading insight on the U.S. economy. The Chicago Business Barometer™ is delivered to subscribers via the MNI Chicago Report, a monthly report published by MNI Indicators that presents valuable information on U.S. economic activity and a first look at current U.S. business condition. The report consists of seven Business Activity indicators and three Buying Policy indicators that represent activity and performance levels compared to the prior month.

Purchasing and supply management professionals in the Chicagoland area, primarily members of the ISM-Chicago, are polled to assess business conditions for their respective companies every month.

Advance subscribers to the MNI Chicago Report are given access to the numbers at 9:42 a.m. Eastern time, 3 minutes prior to the official release at 9:45 a.m. Eastern time. The report is published on the last working day of each month.
