National Federation of Independent Business’s small-business optimism index for the U.S. increases to 95.9 in August

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) released its small-business optimism index for the U.S. on Tuesday. The index increased to 95.9 in August from 95.4 in July.

The increase was partly driven by a rise in job openings and earnings trends.

5 of 10 subindexes rose last month, while three fell and two were unchanged.

The NFIB surveyed 656 small business owners.
