Small businesses are being left behind: The net share of small business owners reporting higher nominal sales over the last 3 months fell -6 percentage points in October, to -13%, the lowest since January. This means the majority of small firms in the NFIB Small Business Survey reported lower sales. This also marks the 41st consecutive negative monthly reading.

According to the US Small Business Administration, small businesses employ 45.9% of American workers and reflect 43.5% of GDP. US small firms are struggling.
