Welcome to the Maine Business Indicators

Maine Business Indicators has been published since 1955, first by the Public Affairs Research Center at Bowdoin College and later, since 1987, by the Center for Business and Economic Research at USM. In Spring 2001, the Maine Business Indicators was combined with the USM School of Business Newsletter and currently is co-produced by the USM Center for Business and Economic Research and the USM School of Business. For almost 50 years, MBI has chronicled changes in the Maine economy, forecast future changes, and provided a forum for discussion of critical issues facing Maine's businesses, governments, and people.

The Maine Business Index underwent an upgrade in Spring 2001 and is now published as part of a new section called "MBI Economy Track", that will provide updates on key indicators of the health of Maine's economy.
