NJBIA 64th Annual Business Outlook Survey Details Affordability, Inflation Challenges for NJ Businesses

Trenton NJ, while affordability was the talk in Trenton a year ago, New Jersey’s business community is clearly feeling left out of that conversation.

In NJBIA’s 64th annual Business Outlook Survey, released today, a large majority (75%) said Gov. Phil Murphy and lawmakers have not done enough to address business affordability in the past 12 months – compared to just 5% who said policymakers are doing enough.

Further, a combined 82% said New Jersey is either somewhat unaffordable for business (46%) or not affordable at all for business (36%).
