• OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Little or no economic growth is likely this year in most of the nine Midwest and Plains states covered by a survey of business leaders, but the booming oil business will continue to drive growth in North Dakota and Oklahoma, according to the report released Monday.
• The region's overall economic index improved to a weak 50.4 in September from August's 49.7.
• Any score above 50 suggests economic growth in the months ahead, while a score below 50 suggests a decline. North Dakota's state economic index hit 61.6 in September, and Oklahoma's registered 56.6 thanks to the oil boom.
• Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey, said concerns about U.S. fiscal policy, the elections, inflation and Europe's economic turmoil slowed the economy.
• "Supply managers, much like the entire business sector, remain very pessimistic regarding future economic conditions," Goss said.
• The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.
• The region's employment index remained negative, slipping to 46.1 in September from August's 49.5. Goss said that's the lowest jobs index since the recession
