SACRAMENTO, Calif., April 2, 2020—From John Kabateck, California state director for NFIB, on the release of its poll showing 92 percent of small-business owners negatively affected by the coronavirus and about half of small employers saying they can survive for no more than two months, and about one-third believing they can remain operational for 3-6 months.
“Our poll of small-business owners details how unbelievably grim things are. In my conversation with NFIB members throughout the state, they’re not optimistic but they are resolved to give it a great fight before giving up. Governor Newsom has taken a number of commendable actions to help small businesses weather the coronavirus crisis, including today’s announced one-year reprieve of sales taxes. Small business has a proven ally in this fight, and we appreciate having him as a partner. We can only get through all this together.”
