FYI: Today's release of the small business optimism index on the part of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) saw its biggest increase since March, and hit its highest level in more than seven years (February 2007). While economists were expecting the headline index to come in at a level of 96.5, the actual reading came in at 98.1. Not only was November's reading the highest since 2007, but it also took the headline index comfortably back above its historical average of 96.0 since 2000.
