NFIB Oklahoma calls on the Legislature to lower taxes, bolster the skilled workforce, and promote greater economic opportunity
OKLAHOMA CITY (Feb. 5, 2024) – Ahead of Governor Kevin Stitt’s State of the State address, NFIB State Director Jerrod Shouse called on state lawmakers to work together to promote greater economic opportunity for hardworking Oklahomans.
“A recent NFIB survey of small business owners found that inflation is the single most important problem in operating their business. The worker shortage is showing no signs of abating, as many of our job creators can’t fill open positions. From lowering taxes to developing our workforce, there is tremendous opportunity for lawmakers to come together and support small businesses and the hardworking Oklahomans they employ.
“We will continue to work with the Governor, his cabinet members, and the legislature to adopt policies that promote small business owners’ interests.”
Background:
According to a recent NFIB survey, 23 percent of small business owners reported that inflation was their single most important problem in operating their business, up one point from last month, and replacing labor quality as the top concern. CLICK HERE to view the full survey.
