Description

Small businesses continue to experience stable job and hourly wage growth, according to the Paychex Small Business Employment Watch. Gene Marks says this is good news considering that small businesses contribute half of this country’s GDP. Gene also shares details about how tariffs are reportedly starting to impact businesses decisions regarding headcount, especially in manufacturing that is expecting to do layoffs in 2026. Cyber Monday Sales rose 7.1% year over year, but Gene warns that many of these sales were done on buy-now, pay-later plans, which have strict policies. Listen to the podcast.
