The banking crisis and persistent inflation have escalated concerns over the economic health of American small businesses. Indicators suggest potential contractions of credit to small businesses and a possible weakening in hiring. But how are small businesses doing, really?
The new Shopify Entrepreneurship Index shows that even in these uncertain times, entrepreneurs continue to have a positive economic impact across the country when it comes to jobs, GDP, and business activity. Join BPC for a discussion on what the latest data on small business says and how federal policymakers can help shore up confidence among small business owners and entrepreneurs.
