Monthly survey-based small-business labor panel from NFIB's Economic Survey drawn from a ~750,000-member owner universe, newly consolidated into a composite Small Business Employment Index combining actual and planned hiring with actual and planned compensation change into one reading (higher = tighter labor market, lower = looser). Component series published alongside: share hiring or trying to hire, qualified-applicant availability (none / few / few-or-no), unfilled openings split skilled versus unskilled, labor-quality-as-most-important-problem by industry, and net shares raising compensation now versus planning to raise in the next three months
