June 2025
Missouri’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) for June 2025 was 50.8, decreasing 2.6 points from the May level of 53.4, but remaining in expansion territory. The Mid-America region, according to the monthly Mid-America Business Conditions Survey conducted by Creighton University climbed above growth neutral for the sixth consecutive month.
Economists consider the index a key economic indicator. It measures such factors as new orders, production, supplier delivery times, backlogs, inventories, prices, employment, import orders and exports. Typically, a score greater than 50 indicates an expansionary economy while a score below 50 forecasts a sluggish economy. The US May PMI® for manufacturing registered 49.0, up 0.5 from May.
Note: The national purchasing manager's indices are produced by the Institute for Supply Management, formerly the Purchasing Management Association.
