Inflation Strains Independent Business in 1969 Slow Growth
Independent businesses faced worsening inflation in 1969 with higher input costs and rising interest rates. Surveys by the National Federation of Independent Business show 9 of 10 firms paying more for materials, 77 percent higher labor costs, and 68 to 74 percent raising prices. Many report slower sales, tight money, and delayed receivables. SBA loans decline while banks push higher rates. Firms seek tax relief and policy relief, including wage and price controls and incentives for expansion, with transportation independents showing some growth opportunities amid service gaps.
