ICYMI: NFIB Joins ‘Wake Up Mid-Missouri’ on KWOS Radio

JEFFERSON CITY (March 9, 2023) – In a recent conversation with John Marsh on KWOS’s ‘Wake Up Mid-Missouri,’ NFIB State Director Brad Jones described how inflation continues to take a toll on small business owners across the Show-Me State.

Citing NFIB’s Small Business Optimism Index, Jones said:

“A majority of our members are still saying, ‘This inflation is eating us up.’ It’s a real problem…We’ve got 45 percent of our members that still have job openings that they cannot fill.”
