Small Business Owner Confidence Nose Dives, Says NFIB, Despite Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) Oddly Claiming ‘Momentum’ – Inflation, Employee, Other Issues Cited; plus MHStocks Continue Drop

NFIBChiefEconomistBillDunkelbergSmallBusinessOwnerConfidenceNoseDivesDespiteManufacturedHousingInstituteMHIoddlyClaimMomentumInflationEmployeeIssuesCitedPlusMHStocksDropMHProNews

In a news release to MHProNews and mainstream media by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) dated June 14, 2022 (Flag Day), the organization which was founded in 1943 grimly stated: “Small Business Owners’ Expectations for the Future at 48-year Low.” This member-driven survey by NFIB comes on the heels of a recent statement by the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) in which they oddly claimed “momentum.” As several current and pending reports reflect, headwinds are building for manufactured housing, and for smaller businesses in general too. It should be noted that NFIB previously told MHProNews that they had hundreds of manufactured housing connected firms among their “hundreds of thousands” of member firms, which compares to MHI’s odd claim of 1000 firms, which is apparently achieved in part by counting each of Clayton Homes several hundred retail centers as an individual MHI member.

 

Small Business Owners’ Expectations for the Future at 48-year Low

Date: June 14, 2022

Inflation continues to be No. 1 problem as owners raising selling prices matches record high

WASHINGTON, D.C. (June 14, 2022) – The NFIB Optimism Index fell 0.1 points in May to 93.1, marking the fifth consecutive month below the 48-year average of 98. Owners expecting better business conditions over the next six months decreased four points to a net negative 54%, the lowest level recorded in the 48-year-old survey. Expectations for better business conditions have deteriorated every month since January.

Twenty-eight percent of owners reported inflation was their single most important problem in operating their business, a decrease of four points from April. The net percent of owners raising average selling prices increased two points to a net 72% (seasonally adjusted), back to the highest reading in the 48-year-history of the survey last reached in March and 32 points higher than May 2021.

“Inflation continues to outpace compensation which has reduced real incomes across the nation,” said NFIB Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg. “Small business owners remain very pessimistic about the second half of the year as supply chain disruptions, inflation, and the labor shortage are not easing.”

Other key findings include:

  • Fifty-one percent of owners reported job openings that could not be filled, up four points from April.
  • The net percent of owners who expect real sales to be higher decreased three points from April to a net negative 15%.
  • A net 46% (seasonally adjusted) of owners reported raising compensation, down three points from April with a net 25% planning to raise compensation in the next three months, down two points from April but historically high.
  • Thirty-nine percent of owners report that supply chain disruptions have had a significant impact on their business, up three points. Another 31% report a moderate impact and 22% report a mild impact. Only 8% of owners report no impact from the recent supply chain disruptions.

As reported in NFIB’s monthly jobs report, the labor markets are tight as 51% (seasonally adjusted) of all owners reported job openings they could not fill in the current period. Ninety-two percent of those hiring or trying to hire reported few or no qualified applicants for the positions they were trying to fill. Twelve percent of owners cited labor costs as their top business problem. Twenty-three percent said that labor quality was their top business problem, behind inflation.

Unadjusted, 3% of owners reported lower average selling prices and 71% reported higher average selling prices. Price hikes were the most frequent in wholesale (80% higher, 4% lower), manufacturing (79% higher, 1% lower), retail trades (78% higher, 2% lower), and construction (77% higher, 2% lower).

Fifty-three percent of owners reported capital outlays in the last six months, down one point from April. Of those owners making expenditures, 36% reported spending on new equipment, 21% acquired vehicles, and 15% improved or expanded facilities. Six percent of owners acquired new buildings or land for expansion and 12% spent money for new fixtures and furniture. Twenty-five percent of owners plan capital outlays in the next few months, down two points from April.

One percent of owners (seasonally adjusted) reported higher nominal sales in the past three months, down two points from April. The net percent of owners expecting higher real sales volumes decreased three points to a net negative 15%.

The net percent of owners reporting inventory increases fell five points to a net negative 1%. Seventeen percent of owners reported increases in stocks while 15% reported reductions as solid sales reduced inventories at many firms. A net 8% of owners viewed current inventory stocks as “too low” in May, up two points from April. A net 1% of owners plan inventory investment in the coming months.

The frequency of reports of positive profit trends was a net negative 24%, down seven points from April. Among the owners reporting lower profits, 34% blamed the rise in the cost of materials, 25% blamed weaker sales, 10% cited labor costs, 9% cited the usual seasonal change, 8% cited lower prices, and 3% cited higher taxes or regulatory costs. For owners reporting higher profits, 49% credited sales volumes, 18% cited higher prices, and 16% cited usual seasonal change.

Two percent of owners reported that all their borrowing needs were not satisfied. Twenty-two percent reported all credit needs met and 65% said they were not interested in a loan. A net 4% reported their last loan was harder to get than in previous attempts. One percent of owners reported that financing was their top business problem. A net 14% of owners reported paying a higher rate on their most recent loan, down two points from April.

The NFIB Research Center has collected Small Business Economic Trends data with quarterly surveys since the 4th quarter of 1973 and monthly surveys since 1986. Survey respondents are randomly drawn from NFIB’s membership. The report is released on the second Tuesday of each month. This survey was conducted in May 2022. ##

 

In a prior May 11, 2022 dated statement, NFIB stated: “Rising inflation has become a serious detriment for the small business community, and as new data shows, small business owners aren’t expecting business conditions to ease anytime soon,” said Kevin Kuhlman, NFIB Vice President of Federal Government Relations. “Small business optimism is now at its lowest level since April 2020, while most Main Street employers report that inflation is substantially impacting their business. The administration and Congress should not increase the pressure on small businesses with new taxes and mandates but instead promote policies that would grow and strengthen the small business economy.”

 

Additional Information, More MHProNews Analysis and Commentary in Brief

The previously referenced MHI comments about momentum are found in the report linked below.

MHI Claims ‘Momentum’ in D.C. – HousingWire, MHInsider Showcase Manufactured Housing Institute CEO Lesli Gooch Op-Ed on DOE Energy Rule Sans Critique, Fact Check, Viewpoints; plus MHMarket Update

MHI has touted in new videos their engagement with various federal officials at the recent Innovation in Housing Showcase (IHS).

But a recent consumer confidence survey reveals that the general public’s mood seems to mirror what the NFIB has stated in their media release, published above.

‘Americans Deeply Pessimistic About Economy,’ ‘Sour Mood’ Per Survey As Gas, Groceries, Housing Costs Soar; plus Manufactured Home Equities Market Update

The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) has hammered MHI for their claimed role in failing to authentically represent the interests of smaller business owners. A recent example is MHI’s belated introduction of a bill they claim could help avert a looming crisis in Department of Energy (DOE) mandated standards.

H.R. 7651-Manufactured Housing Affordability and Energy Efficiency Act of 2022, Skopos Labs, GovTrack Reveal Duplicity or Madness of Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) Advocacy Claims

Yet, MHI’s own prior chairman aptly warned some years ago that MHI had to admit it had not always been pro-active in addressing threats. Nathan Smith pledged to leave MHI as a more pro-active rather than re-active trade group. How has that pledged worked out? MHI has ironically answered that by introducing a bill that has no Democratic co-sponsor.

“Survey 85 Percent of Americans Concerned About Inflation, Credit Card Interest Up by 3.3” said a headline on Breitbart. ‘Core retail’ inflation was announced on 4.12.2022 as 8.5 percent. Some commentators are saying that the actual rate of inflation in the U.S. is more like 15 to 20 percent. As the value of the dollar erodes, that impact should be considered when looking at stock market performance.
