...that's the conclusion of a Gallup poll of small-business owner attitudes at the end of 2008.
Highlights (or lowlights):
- Revenues decreased throughout 2008 for 47 percent of the businesses polled, and increased for only 31 percent
- Capital spending is down for 39 percent, up for 21 percent.
- Just 11 percent have added jobs, and 27 percent have cut them.
