    Retail Sales Down in the State of Michigan

    Retail Sales Down in the State of Michigan
    MRA President and CEO Bill Hallan said, Michigan small businesses are feeling the squeeze of the UAW strike and the resulting loss of spending power by families impacted. Small businesses may feel the impacts of this strike for months to come. Even after the strike ends.
