The economic outlook in Chicago remains challenging as the Chicago Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) dipped further in September, slipping to 40.6, down from 41.5 in August. Released on September 30, 2025, the data reflects ongoing contraction in the region's economic activity.

The latest indicator, which represents a subtle yet significant decline, underscores persistent uncertainties and pressures facing businesses as they navigate inflations, supply chain hiccups, and a fluctuating demand landscape. The index remains well below the neutral mark of 50, implying that industries within the region continue to experience contraction.

As manufacturing and service sectors struggle to regain momentum, the consecutive decline in the PMI indicates a challenging path ahead for stakeholders in Chicago's economy. Economists and policymakers alike will likely keep a close watch on these figures, analyzing potential measures needed to stimulate growth and revitalization in the months to come.
