Survey findings and summary

This may be the result of the pessimism among small businesses about their current financial health.
Some of the key findings for Jacksonville include:
- Jacksonville ranked among the 10-best cities nationwide for its regulatory regime, though it earned a C- for ease of starting a business.
- Small businesses rank Northeastern Florida as having the state's lowest hiring costs.
