June 11, 2024
U.S. small business confidence and hiring plans rose to their highest levels of the year in May, but the upcoming U.S. presidential election also pushed uncertainty to a near four-year high, according to a survey released Tuesday.
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) said its small business optimism index rose eight-tenths of a point to 90.5 last month.
