Small businesses continue to try to attract and retain employees, according to NFIB Jobs Report.

“We’re seeing a tight labor market as our owners still try to fill current positions at their firms,” Burdett said. “In our report, 37% of owners reported raising compensation just in May, and that’s really historically very high.”
