“In the strongest report since the SBEI’s inception in June 2009, this month’s reading likely stems from a bullish
mentality from small businesses as it pertains to the future of the domestic economy. This growth in hiring is a
positive sign for the U.S. economy, despite the lack of fiscal policy changes we were promised. Nevertheless,
continued increases in hiring through the remaining summer months and early fall could fuel GDP growth.”
