The NFIB's Index of Small Business Optimism jumped to 95.2 in April from 93.4 in March.

"This is the first time the Index has reached 95 since October 2007," noted the NFIB. "The gain is modest but it is still the best reading post-recession. The main contributor to the improved Index came from expected business conditions. Small-business owners are a bit more optimistic in this area but still 9 percent more owners expect business conditions to deteriorate than improve."
