The special report done in conjunction with 40 American City Business Journal publications across the U.S. looks at five local small business people. Each of the people profiled by the Sacramento Business Journal were profiled in early May, early on in the pandemic.
Sacramento Business Journal Editor-in-Chief Adam Steinhauer spoke with CapRadio’s Mike Hagerty to explain what’s happening to local businesses.
While Steinhauer found that some businesses were doing surprisingly well once they pivoted their operations plans, no business owner is out of the woods just yet. A new survey by the National Federation of Independent Businesses found that about 25% of small business owners say they’ll be out of business if the economy doesn’t improve in the next six months.
