Small Business Uncertainty Hits All-Time High, Optimism Remains Low

By Casey Harper (The Center Square)

American small businesses are facing unprecedented uncertainty and low levels of optimism just weeks before Election Day, according to the latest survey from the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB).

The survey, released on Monday, revealed that small business uncertainty has reached an all-time high, leaving many business owners feeling more uncertain than ever before. NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg expressed concern over the current state of small businesses, citing the challenges they have faced in recent years.

Inflation has been a major factor impacting small businesses, with prices rising more than 20% since President Joe Biden took office. The pandemic-related shutdowns and supply chain disruptions have also taken a toll on many small businesses, leaving them in debt or depleting their savings. Unlike larger businesses that had more reserves or access to capital, many smaller businesses struggled to survive the economic challenges brought on by COVID-19.

According to the NFIB survey, 23% of small business owners identified inflation as their primary concern, citing higher input and labor costs as significant challenges. While inflation has slowed down from its peak earlier in Biden’s term, prices remain elevated, putting additional pressure on small businesses.

The survey also highlighted difficulties in the labor market, with many small business owners hesitant to invest in capital spending and inventory due to uncertainty surrounding future business conditions. Despite some optimism surrounding the upcoming holiday sales season, many Main Street owners remain cautious about the prospects of improvement in the near future.

Overall, the NFIB survey paints a grim picture of the current state of small businesses in America, with uncertainty at an all-time high and optimism remaining low. As small business owners continue to navigate the challenges posed by inflation, supply chain disruptions, and labor market issues, it remains to be seen how they will weather the storm in the months ahead.
