Small businesses continue to show signs of growth. Business births, self-employment, and proprietor’s income are rising, while business deaths and bankruptcies are declining. Commercial and industrial loans outstanding are also rising, but it is not clear whether the increase is in loans to small or to large firms.

Employment from business births which has been on a decline for the last decade has been rising in the most recent quarters (Chart 3). But there are concerns over the slowdown in net job increases from small businesses with fewer than 20 employees and those with 20-499 employees (Chart 4).
