OMAHA, N.E.(WNAX)- Economic activity in the nine state Mid America region is still showing signs of growth, but that rate is slowing.

Creighton University professor Ernie Goss says their monthly survey of business managers is showing that.

Goss says many of those managers are seeing more problems ahead.

Goss says job growth is also continuing.

Goss says only South Dakota and Arkansas have returned to pre-pandemic job numbers.

Goss oversees the monthly survey of businesses in the nine-state region from the Dakotas and Minnesota to Oklahoma and Arkansas.
