From Today's Report:

"...'Small business owners worked hard in February to overcome unexpected weather conditions along with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,' said NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg. 'Capital spending has been strong, but not on Main Street. The economic recovery remains uneven for small businesses, especially those still managing state and local regulations and restrictions. Congress and the Biden administration must keep small businesses a priority as they plan future policy legislation.'..."
