Small business leaders increasingly view U.S. participation in global trade as the way to improve the overall economy and create American jobs, according to results of the fifth FedEx Trade Index, a survey of more than 1,000 small business leaders which tracks the impact of international trade among the small business segment of the U.S. economy.
“FedEx knows that simplifying and expanding global trade is essential to our customers’ success. The results of the latest FedEx Trade Index confirm the negative impact of tariffs on small business growth,” said Brie Carere, Executive Vice-President, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, FedEx Corp.
The survey, commissioned by FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and conducted by Morning Consult, finds a substantial majority of U.S. small business leaders (82%) see increasing U.S. trade as beneficial to the overall economy, and three out of four (75%) small business decision makers said selling goods online to international customers is important to the growth of their business.
