Small Business Economic Trends

SBET NFIB Small Business Economic Trends, June 2009
The Index of Small Business Optimism rebounded 5.8 points in April to 86.8 (1986=100), led higher by 8 of the 10 Index components. All three of the "hard components" (job creation plans, inventory investment plans and capital spending plans) rose, although they are still at anemic levels. Assuming April’s numbers are not merely a brief interruption of a longer recession, this is good news for Gross Domestic Product growth and a rescue of the job market.
