Colorado Comment on Today’s Grim Optimism Index Report
- On January 3, NFIB released the results from the 23rd edition of its special, periodic COVID-19 surveys, which, among other things, found local economies remaining at below pre-crisis levels of economic activity.
- On January 5, NFIB issued its monthly Jobs Report that found 41% (seasonally adjusted) of all owners reporting job openings they could not fill.
- Today (January 10), the association released its latest Small Business Economic Trends report (aka the Optimism Index), the most troubling finding from which, according to Gagliardi, is “owners expecting better business conditions over the next six months worsened 8 points from November to a net negative 51 percent.”
