A CNN-Manta survey of small businesses revealed a not so good picture of the economy. Although more than a third believe they are better compared to last year, only 40% of the polled are reporting strong sales while only 14% added more workers. Small businesses claim people are not spending freely also citing the economy as their top concern followed by rising costs of doing business. Only 10% believe Obamacare would help them while 38% of the respondents said it will hurt them. But 63% still believe America is the best place to invest and open small business with one saying “This country was built for business”. Manta.com is a networking website for entrepreneurs and has 50,000 small business owner members. It partnered with the CNN for the latest survey.
