Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report – Small Business Snapshot in 5 Charts, per NFIB
Hundreds of manufactured housing related companies – and some 325,000 businesses overall – are part of the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB), per sources with that organization. The following commentary and analysis, plus the charts, are provided by them below under fair use guidelines.

“Lower energy prices are once again providing “dividends” to fuel users, consumers, and businesses alike. This ubiquitous benefit is not as powerful for the economy as it used to be because energy production is now significant in the U.S. economy. Historically, lower oil prices impacted producers outside of the U.S. economy but now affect our large and growing energy sector. Even so, energy related profits are dominating the profit picture among the Fortune 500 firms. Cheap oil looks to be a dependable source of reduced costs for the near term.
Headline unemployment rates of 4.3 percent (U-3) and 8.4 percent (U-6) are at recovery low levels. This excludes 4.5 million workers who say they want work but haven’t looked in 12 months. Including them would take the U-6 rate up near 11 percent. Labor force participation rates for men and women remain below levels of the past few decades and “employed part-time for economic reasons” remains above levels typical of an expansion.
A continuation of the high levels of optimism in the small business sector will depend heavily on Congressional progress on the major issues for small business owners: healthcare, tax reform and regulatory relief. The Republicans have the votes to pass any bill that they agree on, but seem unable to agree on any bill, unable to find one that satisfies all the “opinion camps” in their membership. Because of this, by withholding all their votes on anything, the Democrats can block any bill which has only a few senators in opposition. More substantial progress is needed on these major issues if owner optimism is to be sustained and produce accelerated hiring and spending.”
As was noted above, ”
- Trump Milestone: 1M new jobs in six months”
The Daily Business News previously reported that the NFIB wants to see the repeal and replace on ObamaCare, and tax reform to happen, pronto. That report – complete with a video – is linked here.
