NFIB Small Business Optimism Index drops to 89.0
The Index of Small Business Optimism lost 3.2 points in June after posting modest gains for several months. The persistence of Index readings below 90 is unprecedented in survey history. The performance of the economy is mediocre at best, given the extent of the decline over the past two years. The small business sector is not on a positive trajectory and with this half of the private sector “missing in action”, the poor growth performance is no surprise.
