Small Business Data Explorer

Tracking Nearly a Decade of Data

Use the Data Explorer to browse and analyze years of data from the Small Business Index. The Data Explorer contains data going back to 2017 (when the Index began) on questions covering views of the economy, hiring, investment and other key economic indicators.

The Data Explorer can help unearth changes in the sentiment and views of the U.S. small business community over time for use in academic research, business reports, or simply for your own personal interest. The data here is shareable, but please cite any uses of it as sourced from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Small Business Index.
