Small business optimism took a bounce back upward in August. CFIB's Business Barometer Index erased a weak July reading, rising more than two points to 59.8-almost the same as its June level and the second-highest monthly mark registered since May of 2015. Sentiment still has plenty of room to improve though, with the index running five points under its 2010-14 average. |
