Most Small Businesses Expect To Grow Next Year
Small businesses expect to increase employment numbers over the next 12 months, according a new survey.
Sixty percent of senior executives and managers at small businesses say they expect employment to increase, according to the survey of 180 senior executives conducted by NFI Research. Small businesses have fewer than 500 employees.
For large businesses with 10,000 or more employees, only 32 percent of senior executives expect an increase in hiring. And 32 percent of large businesses expect a decrease in employees compared to only six percent of small businesses.
“This looks to be a great time to be a small business, since that’s where the growth action is,” says NFI Research CEO Chuck Martin.
