In a conversation with Missourinet’s Sue Danielson, NFIB State Director Brad Jones discussed the latest findings of NFIB’s Small Business Economic Trends (SBET) and Jobs reports on Show Me Today.

And while small business owners can raise prices, in a competitive market, you can only do that so much.”
