SurePayroll March 2014 Small Business Scorecard
1
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.

description
Small businesses are expecting positive first quarter results, according to our SurePayroll Small Business Scorecard. Nine in 10 expect first quarter results to be the same or better than last year, an encouraging sign for the year to come. It’s also an indication that they are looking past headwinds from health care, international turmoil, the proposed minimum wage changes and debate on overtime laws.
