Intuit QuickBooks Small Business Index | Q3-2025

US | Quarterly Employment by Region | Businesses with 1-9 Employees

Employment   Revenue  

Seasonally adjusted quarterly employment for US small businesses with 1 to 9 employees.

National sample: 420,000 small businesses using the QuickBooks platform. This anonymized data is aggregated and benchmarked against official statistics to reflect the general population of small businesses — not the QuickBooks customer base or Intuit’s business. Index data that is at least 6 to 9 months old follows official employment statistics closely. More recent data is the Index's latest prediction for what official statistics will show when published. Total employment is derived from the Index's monthly growth rate and the latest available official statistics.
