The August 2026 NFIB Small Business Optimism report was released today, September 8, 2026.
The Index of Small Business Optimism decreased by 1.1 points to 98.7.

“Uncertainty remains elevated among small business owners as they face a mixed set of challenges with weakened sales, supply chain disruptions, and inflation pressures,” said NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg. “While expectations for the overall economy dimmed, Main Street owners remain largely positive in the health of their own businesses.”
Below is a chart of the NFIB Small Business Optimism chart, as seen in the full August 2026 NFIB Small Business Economic Trends (pdf) report:
