Recent news reports point to an increase in wholesale prices nationwide due to a greater than expected increase in US producer prices in March 2018.

The economy saw increased prices for food and services, like outpatient services, making it even more expensive for hospitals to treat patients. Increasing prices combined with a new study from the NFIB Research Foundation shows the impact this has on small businesses, who face the possibility of having to raise selling prices as a way to cope with these outside factors.
