Wednesday, 12 Apr 2017 08:18 ET
By Jay Lynch
Summary
April 2017 -- Data Buffet now carries the uncertainty index component of the "Small Business Optimism Index" produced by NFIB (one new monthly series from 1986).
Detail

Figures are percent of firms (%) who responded with "uncertain" or "don't know" to six key questions about expectations over the next six months regarding credit conditions, the economy, real sales volume, planned inventory, expanding the business, and capital expenditures; the series is seasonally adjusted (SA).  It starts at January 1986.

The series resides in the historical catalog (United States » Cyclical Indicators » Small Business Optimism Index (NFIB)) and is:

  • SBIUN.IUSA = Uncertainty, (%, SA)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
