U.S. Chamber Updates
Spiraling Inflation is Small Businesses' Top Concern

Inflation is the top concern for small businesses, according to the MetLife & U.S. Chamber of Commerce special report.

Why it matters: Small businesses everywhere are being impacted by the interrelated challenges of rising inflation, supply chain disruptions, and the worker shortage crisis—but inflation is hitting small businesses especially hard.

Details:
  • 33% of small businesses now rank inflation as the biggest challenge facing the small business community, up 10 percentage points from Q4 2021 and up 14 percentage points from Q3 of last year.
  • 85% of small business owners say they are concerned about the impact of inflation on their business, soaring from 74% last quarter.
  • To cope with inflation, 67% of small businesses have raised prices.
  • Another four in ten (41%) report having decreased staff or taken out a loan in the past year (39%) in response to growing inflation pressures.
Be smart: Rising prices is the definition of inflation. Forces—like supply and demand, the worker shortage, and monetary policy are driving inflation.

Our take: “These inflationary pressures are broad-based, and if we’re not careful they might be here to stay,” Chamber Executive Vice President and Chief Policy Officer Neil Bradley told Yahoo! Finance.

Please Help: Assistance Request with UOG Research
The University of Guam (UOG) has partnered with the Guam Power Authority (GPA) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) to understand how electricity outages affect customers and how much customers value their electricity service during outages. We encourage our members to complete the survey (see link below). The survey will take about 25 minutes to complete, and you will be given a $25 gift card to a local business. 

Note: When you enter the survey select "small and medium-sized commercial and industrial" as the type of electricity customer you are to begin.
