Optimism among small firms in the September survey rose to its
second highest level since the survey first began in June of 2012. The
WSJ/Vistage Small Business CEO Confidence Index was 110.8 in the
September 2014 survey, up from 109.8 in August and posting a 5.2%
gain from last year’s 105.3. The steady improving level of confidence in
recent months is certainly good news, but the more important finding
is that since the start of the year small firms never lost sight of the
underlying strength in the economy.
