The National Small Business Poll is a series of regularly published survey reports based on data collected from national samples of small-business employers. Eight reports are produced annually. The poll is designed to address small-business-oriented topics about which little is known but interest is high. Each survey report treats different subject matter.
The survey reports in this series generally contain three sections. The first section is a brief executive summary, outlining a small number of themes or salient points from the survey. The second is a longer, generally descriptive, exposition of results. This section is not intended to be a thorough analysis of the data collected nor to explore a group of formal hypotheses. Rather, it is intended to textually describe that which appears subsequently in tabular form. The third section consists of a single series of tables. The tables display each question posed in the survey broken out by employee size of firm.
