Difficulty hiring skilled workers in a tight labour market and inflation topped the list of business owners’ most pressing issues

“With small business owners’ views about future sales growth and business conditions discouraging, owners want to hire and make money now from strong consumer spending,” said NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg. “Inflation and the worker shortage continue to be the biggest obstacles for Main Street.”

Construction, service, and manufacturing businesses reported the greatest difficulty filling open positions. That said, 40 per cent of owners last month reported they could not fill open positions, the lowest in two-and-a-half years and an indication the tight labour market may be softening. Another measure tracking expectations for better business conditions over the next six months fell 7 points from July.
