Today NFIB announced the launch of the “Small Business Survival” campaign to highlight why tax increases and mandates would be harmful to small businesses and hold members of Congress accountable for their support of these proposed policies.

Federal unemployment assistance was important earlier in the COVID-19 pandemic, but now it’s stifling small businesses’ ability to recover as they face a labor shortage.

This week’s NFIB webinar for small businesses provided updates on the tax changes in President Biden’s infrastructure spending proposals and included comments from business owners on how these changes would affect their small businesses.

The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index continued to rise in April, but the lack of qualified employees continues to slow small business recovery and raise prices for customers.

The American Rescue Plan includes a mandate to prevent states from lowering their state’s taxes. NFIB is supporting several challenges to this overreaching mandate in court.
