\"HelpSmall businesses across the country continue to raise wages to keep employees and fill an historically high level of open positions, according to the National Federation of Independent Business<\/a>\u2019 monthly jobs report.

\u201cHiring has never been harder for small-business owners,\u201d said NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg. \u201cThe labor shortage remains frustrating for many small-business owners as they continue to manage inflation and other economic headwinds. Owners are adjusting business operations where they can to help mitigate lost sales opportunities due to staffing shortages.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twenty-one percent of owners said labor quality was their top business problem, down two points from June. Nine percent of owners cited labor costs as their top business problem, up one point. However, more small businesses decreased employment than increased again in July, despite high levels of job openings.<\/p>\n

Small-business owners\u2019 plans to fill open positions remain elevated, with a seasonally adjusted net 20 percent planning to create new jobs in the next three months.<\/p>\n

Overall, 64 percent of owners reported hiring or trying to hire in July. Of those trying to hire, 91 percent of owners reported few or no qualified applicants for the positions they were trying to fill. Thirty percent of owners reported few qualified applicants for their open positions and 27 percent reported none.<\/p>\n

Seasonally adjusted, a net 48 percent reported raising compensation, just two points below the 48-year record high set in January. A net 25 percent plan to raise compensation in the next three months, down three points from June.<\/p>\n
