The dataset includes 1,287 responses from small business owners, including information on owners, health and wellness in the workplace, and more.Rural businesses are essential to their communities, often employing rural residents and impacting the local economy. This survey includes data on small business owners, copreneurs, small business benefits, substance misuse and mental health, workforce development, trust and community, adjustment strategies, socioemotional wealth, financials, and business owners’ households. The NCR-Stat: Small Business Survey focuses on the intersection of small businesses, benefits, and rural health.
