Small Biz Back to Pre-Pandemic Levels?

The MetLife & U.S. Chamber of Commerce Small Business Index for 2022 Q1 reported the highest score (64.1) since the start of the pandemic (the low was 2020 Q2 at 39.5). However, inflation is the primary concern for 1 in 3 businesses, while 1 in 4 name supply chain problems as a top challenge. “The Great Resignation” is not as big a challenge as inflation and supply chain issues. Half (51%) of small business owners think the small business climate will return to normal within 6 months to a year. #IdeaoftheDay
