Key Findings - by Region - Throughout North America, businesses share similar challenges, but competitive pressures, responses to them, and the work policies that make businesses succeed, all take slightly different shape depending on where you land on the map.
Business owners in the northeast and southeast USA and Canada are most likely to set up a business again. Companies in the central USA are more likely to invest in training, and least likely to invest in marketing and salaries compared to other regions.
Businesses in the northwest USA have the highest percentage of superworkers in all regions with 20% reporting 70-hour work weeks. They’re also more likely than any other region to increase investments in employee benefits.

Businesses in the southeast USA are the most optimistic, but also the most concerned about skills shortages.
