NFIB Small Business Optimism Index drops to 88.0
It has been a very difficult year and 2009 did not end on an uplifting note. The Index of Small Business Optimism lost 0.3 points, falling to 88.0 (1986=100), 7.0 points higher than the survey’s second lowest reading reached in March 2009 (the lowest reading was 80.1 in 1980). But optimism has clearly stalled in spite of the improvements in the economy since the first quarter of 2009.
