New NFIB Problems & Priorities Highlight Nebraska Small Business Concerns

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) released the 11th edition of its quadrennial report: Small Business Problems and Priorities. First published in 1982, this report is issued every four years by the NFIB Research Center. The 2024 report is based on a nationwide survey of small business owners, providing a comprehensive guide to 75 issues and their impact on Main Street. “For the last four years, small business owners have struggled with historic inflation, tax pressures at all levels of government, and uncertainty of what’s going to happen next,” said Holly Wade, Executive Director of the NFIB Research Center. “This survey helps the public understand the issues affecting the small business sector. Small businesses employ nearly half of the private sector workforce, and this publication makes clear where lawmakers should focus their attention to strengthen Main Street and every community in which they operate. Despite the headwinds and economic challenges, small business owners are working hard to create new jobs and grow their businesses, but the threat of rising costs, taxes, and uncertainty gives Main Street pause.” “The NFIB report highlights the significant challenges facing Nebraska small business owners,” said NFIB State Director Ryan McIntosh. “Rising costs, tax burdens, and economic uncertainty underscore the need for legislative action to support small businesses. We must address these challenges to strengthen Main Street and foster economic growth throughout the Cornhusker State.”
