When it comes to stable prices, in other words, keeping inflation under control, NFIB says that's a top concern of businesses in retail, particularly ones that depend on imported goods.

Lofty is a 10-person company that sells clocks and lamps that help you sleep.

CEO Matthew Hassett says tariffs have made a big impact.

including consultants, and leaving an open position unfilled.

Hassett has raised prices, too.

The lamps that Lofty used to sell for $275 are now almost $300.

Hassett says there's been a lot of unpredictability in the U.S.

economy, so he's hoping to sell more product outside of the country in the future.
