This is a new monthly measure of small business employment and hiring in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. The Index’s primary benefit is its unparalleled focus on small businesses, which are vital to the current and future health of the economy, but often underrepresented in economic data. By shining a brighter light on small businesses with timely insights, Intuit hopes to increase small business growth and success rates throughout the US, Canada, and the UK. Sasan Goodarzi, Intuit’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Up-to-date insights like those now available through our Index will be invaluable to anyone focused on the success of small businesses, especially in the face of increasingly challenging economic conditions. We’re excited for the Index to become a key tool economists, policymakers, and small businesses themselves can use in making decisions that will help power small business prosperity around the world.” The Index was developed in collaboration with leading economist Professor Ufuk Akcigit and an international team of researchers and academics.
