Small business confidence just crept higher—hitting 99 this November, slightly above the 98.3 forecast and last month's 98.2. But here's the twist: while overall optimism nudged up, the economic outlook actually dimmed to +15%. Companies are pulling back on capital spending plans, yet they're betting on stronger sales ahead. Compensation? Holding steady. Mixed signals everywhere—confidence up, but caution lingers beneath the surface.
