Help Wanted: Small Businesses Suffering – News Article #5

Help wanted: a sign that has become all too familiar for small businesses. The continued shape of the market is causing many small businesses to get creative with hiring. Goldman Sachs reported to Wall Street Journal in this article that more than one-third of small businesses said hiring challenges had worsened in the three months ahead of September 1st.

I think this is news because to me it’s super relevant. I am a small business owner myself. Although I have not had any problems with hiring, I do see the possibility of problems arising in the future. I have several business mentors that I have also talked to who said they have a hard time hiring in the current state of the market.

It’s really hard for me to determine if this article is objective or subjective. The article is made up almost entirely of quotes from business owners and their methods of hiring. I would like to think that everything the people are saying is factual; however, it’s hard to determine if they might say something different on the news.

    There is, in psychology, research into whether people react differently on camera (or when anybody is looking). I’m not sure if that applies to when people are being interviewed, especially if it’s in their own homes or businesses. I would tend to think the sources are being honest. They’re talking to the WSJ.

    As far as interviewing and sources go, the WSJ is talking to the people who should know.
