Notes

The Small Business Credit Survey (SBCS) is an annual survey of firms with fewer than 500 employees that is fielded from approximately September through November each year. The SBCS is not a random sample; results should be analyzed with awareness of potential biases that are associated with convenience samples. This series is based on the question: “How did the following change over the past 12 months? Number of employees” with the response options of “Decreased, No change, or Increased” and is the share of firms that increased the number of workers they employ in the 12 months prior to the fielding of the survey. See SBCS questionnaires (https://www.fedsmallbusiness.org/our-data/questionnaires) for detailed information on the questions in the survey. SBCS terminology and definitions can be found here (https://www.fedsmallbusiness.org/our-data/terminology-and-definitions).	2026-03-03	2026-03-03
