Notes:

This series represents the contributions of Midwest Region's consumer spending sector to the Relative Midwest Economy Index (RMEI). The Midwest Region contribution specifically focuses on indicators existing only at a regional level. This series is the weighted average of regional variables measuring the growth in nonfarm business activity based on consumer spending sector indicators for the Midwest.

A zero value represents an average contribution to RMEI by the Midwest Region's consumer spending sector, a rate historically consistent with the growth of the national economy, whereas positive values indicate above-average relative contribution; and negative values indicate below average relative contribution.
