Small Business Employment Flat, But There's a Silver Lining

The latest small business employment report from Intuit Inc. echoes the recently released August monthly report from the U.S. Labor Department in showing low hiring across the nation during the summer.

However, Intuit's report also shows that the labor market may be warming, as there have been increases in hours worked, compensation and revenue. The report is produced monthly and is based on aggregated data from small businesses across the nation who use Intuit Online Payroll and QuickBooks Online Payroll.
