The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) announced on Friday the results of a survey indicating that small U.S. businesses had seen payroll increases last month. The November gain of .01 workers per firm depicts a very small change, but it nevertheless represents the first such growth for small businesses in two-and-a-half years.
This survey’s results, as well as other recent employment reports, indicate a strengthening of the economy for the fourth quarter, according to NFIB chief economist William Dunkelberg.
“Retail sales and income growth in October and November were strong, promising an even better fourth quarter economy. Bottom line, this means more customers and a reason to hire or re-hire workers, Dunkelberg said in a statement.
