State Director Interviewed on TVW About State of the Economy

“You can only push your customers so far before they are willing to go somewhere else or go without … Small businesses in particular were hesitant to raise prices until they had absolutely no other choice, and we’re at that point.”

NFIB Washington State Director Patrick Connor had that to say about inflation to host Mike McClanahan of TVW’s The Impact show. Other topics hit upon by Connor included supply-chain disruptions, worker shortages, and what a new state law on job postings taking effect in January means for small business.
