Michigan Companies First Quarter 2020 Total Pretax Earnings Declined By a Huge 59% From the First Quarter 2019. Michigan Motor Vehicle and Parts Companies Earnings Declined By a Massive 78%. These Horrible Earnings Are Not a Good Signal For Continuing Solid Real Fair Pay Job Growth in Michigan.

From a review of Company SEC filings and the Google Finance website, I found 39 Michigan Companies with stock market caps above $1 bil recently.  One of them hasn't released its April 2020 quarterly earnings yet.  That leaves 38 Companies.

The table below shows the US GAAP Pretax Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations for the first quarter of both 2020 and 2019 for each of these 38 Michigan Companies.
