Overview - small business optimism
Article Abstract:
A small business survey conducted in July 1996 lends support to predictions by most economists of a marked slowing in the second half the year. The survey involved a sample of 7,200 small business owners belonging to the National Federation of Independent Business. Among other findings, the survey found that labor market strength, capital spending, labor costs and inflation are the four most important factors that will determine small business performance in the second half of 1996.
