Small-business owner confidence continues to drag, according to the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Small Business Optimism Index. The Index gained 0.9 points, rising to 88.9, failing to regain the losses caused by last month’s “fiscal cliff” scare. Expectations for improved business conditions increased by five points, but remain overwhelmingly low—negative 30%—the fourth lowest reading in survey history. Actual job creation and job creation plans improved nominally, but still not enough to keep up with population growth.

This chart was from the original article by the NFIB. According to the NFIB, the report was based on the responses of 2,033 randomly sampled small businesses in NFIB’s membership, surveyed throughout the month of January. You may download the complete study at http://www.nfib.com/sbetindex.

Perhaps after you've read that, the graph will make sense. If not, perhaps you should write to the NFIB.
