As the first economic indicator created by a payroll company, the SurePayroll Scorecard has provided a monthly look at national hiring and paycheck trends since October 2004. SurePayroll's Scorecard compiles data from small businesses nationwide, and exclusively reflects the trends affecting the nation's "micro businesses" — those with 1-10 employees. The average business reflected has 6 employees. The SurePayroll Small Business Scorecard - Main Street Matters infographic also includes data for SurePayroll's top 35 MSAs.

HiringIndex
PayPer Check
One in three small business owners said they would look to hire if they needed to bring in a specific expertise to accommodate clients’ needs, or if there was simply too much to do. Almost no one (0.2 percent) said they would hire someone to coordinate operations and/or perform administrative tasks. This is down from 28 percent the year before. When they do look to hire, 48 percent of small business owners said finding qualified candidates is a challenge; 34 percent said finding the right candidate for the salary offered.
More on the Small Business Landscape 67%
of small business owners surveyed said that if they see an increase in demand, it would spur them to hire. This is a significant leap from one year ago, when only 30 percent said an increase in demand would cause them to hire.
