Embattled small business owners across the US would support additional federal emergency assistance as they contend with the Omicron variant and other pandemic-related challenges, according to a new survey released Monday.

Of the more than 1,400 small business owners surveyed, 71 percent of respondents said they suffered a drop in expected revenue, while 79 percent said they were concerned about the Omicron variant’s ongoing impact, according to the Goldman Sachs poll.

The vast majority of those surveyed – 82 percent – said they would support ongoing federal relief to help small businesses as new COVID-19 variants emerge. The survey found 37 percent said they were forced to temporarily close or scale back operations due to the recent surge in COVID-19 infections.
