"Consumer confidence" and "Poor leadership" add up to 24%, trumping Gov't regulation concerns.
There's an air of impending doom in this country and I think it rode in on Obama's coattails.
I'd REALLY like to know how "small" these "small" businesses they pollled were.
If they're using the SBA's definition of "small"?
They're hardly small businesses, at all.

I have my own list:
1) Finding good employees- hard to believe, but we have a very difficult time finding entry level workers. We start them at $10/hr, full time with benefits. I have to go through 25 to get one keeper.
2) Getting paid by the clients- about half the jobs I sell I have to work out extended payment terms. We are getting paid, but instead of 30 days average we are now at around 60 days.
3) Health care costs - up 15% over the last 18 months.
4) Complying with Regulations- Cities, Counties, States, Feds- all pumping out new rules and regulations every year. It's a full time job to keep up with them all!
5) Fees- getting nickel and dimed on everything- dump fees, permits, license fees, bank fees, etc...
Despite all that, my business is growing. The weak competitors are out of business and that helps. We still come across the bottom feeders with low ball prices- but they are always there in good times or bad.
Gallup doesn't define it. So I'd say he's neither.I'd REALLY like to know how "small" these "small" businesses they pollled were.

Well, why don't you go to the Gallup website and find out? Too lazy or too stupid?
