SMALL BUSINESSEMPLOYMENT INDEX
DECEMBER 2016
30% of companies in the SBEI increased hiring, 50% made no changes,and 20% decreased staff.
“This December’s reading seems to indicate that some of the economic optimism we’ve seen recently may be translating down to small business hiring. For the most recent report, our SBEI tracked with NFIB’s optimism index post-election, which showed a significant improvement in optimism among small business owners which is expected to translate into increased capital and labor investments in the New Year.” –Philip Noftsinger, President of CBIZ Employee Services Organization
