Economic opportunities and challenges
Nationwide, 87 percent of service providers, including women and BIPOC business owners, believe there's enough economic opportunity in their community for their business to thrive. Up 11 percentage points from 2019, this finding shows increased optimism compared to pre-pandemic levels. And while 41 percent of respondents report generating more revenue in the first half of 2021 than the year prior, challenges remain. Across the board, the costs of operating a business are the biggest roadblock: 33 percent want policymakers to improve access to healthcare/insurance benefits and 45 percent want their tax burden lowered. Additionally, this year, the shortage of qualified labor intensified: 23 percent of businesses reported difficulty hiring with home construction reporting the most difficulty (40 percent).
Communities rally around small businesses
To capture how Americans are supporting their communities, Thumbtack commissioned an additional new Small Business Support survey of 1,150 Americans. Looking to the future, service businesses aren't the only ones feeling more optimistic, 94 percent of homeowners said they're comfortable having a professional work inside their home. Additionally, communities around the country rallied to support their local businesses over the last year. Americans gave larger tips (75 percent), made donations (36 percent) and continued paying providers even if they were not receiving services (22 percent).
