概要
 NFIB's Uncertainty Index rose three points to 91, more than 23 points above its long-run average of 68. So what specifically is bringing small business owners down these days? For one, it's high fuel costs. NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg said in a statement, "More small business owners are struggling with significant and unpredictable hikes in fuel prices, which are more challenging for small businesses to pass on to their customers compared with their larger corporate competitors." And it's not just the high price of gas. Inflation's prominence as a pain point continued to grow, with 18% of respondents, two points more than in April, and the highest share since December 2024, identify this as a top business concern. Only taxes ranked higher as a concern. To make ends meet, among owners surveyed, 36% said they had already raised their selling prices. And looking ahead, 34% of owners indicated they have to raise prices even further just to make ends meet. Beyond cost and pricing issues, supply chain disruptions had touched their operations in some negative way, and the labor outlook also has weakened. On hiring, just 9% of owners on a seasonally adjusted basis said they intend to add staff over the coming three months amidst the backdrop of rising labor costs.
