According to new numbers on the climate of small businesses across the country, now is a great time to be involved in the lower middle market.
A strong labor market and high profit trends, along with historically low inflation, are keeping small-business owners’ confidence at near-record levels, setting the stage for a strong fourth quarter, according to the National Federation of Independent Business. The small-business lobby said small businesses haven’t experienced this level of labor-market constraints since the late 1990s, when fears that the year 2000 would wreak havoc in computers and digital networks fueled demand for computer and programming specialists. This time around, labor shortages are more broadly distributed across industries, the NFIB said, adding that the percentage of small-business owners with one or more unfilled job openings is at a 45-year record level. On Tuesday, the NFIB said its small-business optimism index remains strong at 107.4 in October, albeit down slightly for the second consecutive month following August’s record reading of 108.8. The August reading broke the previous record of 108 set in July 1983.
The NFIB survey is a monthly snapshot of small businesses in the U.S., which account for most private-sector jobs and about half of the country’s economic output. Economists look to the report for a read on domestic demand and to extrapolate hiring and wage trends in the broader economy. The NFIB survey results—based on responses from 1,743 small-business owners—mirror results from the University of Michigan’s consumer-sentiment index, which fell in October to 98.6 and edged down to 98.3 in November. So what does this mean for you and your small business?
In short, it means that lower middle market entrepreneurs involved in the small business world now are in better shape because of economic growth dating back to just after the Great Recession. As things have trended up since 2012, confidence has grown as well.
