Small-business sentiment survey ranks Kansas 46th in October

Kansas small businesses ranked the economic sentiment in the state among the nation’s worst in October, according to Thumbtack.com.

The state has generally followed the national average in recent years, which has very slowly been improving, until last month.

Even though the state ranked 46th out of 50 states among the companies surveyed, it was still considered a neutral score, rather than a negative one.
