Thus, I think it might be helpful to research how the Michigan Headquartered Companies have performed on the earnings front during the Obama Administration.
From a review of the very fine Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC website, I found the 60 Companies headquartered in Michigan, all with Stock Market Capitalizations recently of more than $100 Mil and which also have filed their fiscal year 2015 annual financial statements with the SEC. Traditional Regulated Utilities were excluded.
Below here are the reported Audited Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations of each of these 60 Michigan Companies for all years reported from 2007 through 2015 where the amounts were presented and in a consistent manner:
