5/ The takeaway: Main Street is busy but careful, stretching the teams it has before committing to new hires.

1/ Small businesses are gearing up for summer, but they're adding hours, not headcount. Our May Main Street Health Report (100K+ businesses, 2M+ hourly workers) shows employees working up just 0.2% in May, while hours worked rose 1.2%.

[Homebase @joinhomebase]

4/ Wages hit a new high, but raises keep thinning. Growth slowed to 5.9%, down from 7.1% a year ago.

Calvin and Tina don't just want to make great food. They want Butter Baker customers to love it as much as they do. https://t.co/voSSC8CctO

That passion is what landed them a fanbase so loyal, they had to expand. Watch the full case study to see where they're going. 🍰

At Oscar's Photo Lab, the wait is part of it. 🎞️ Since 1982, the San Francisco shop has developed film for people who still love the process. It’s the kind of place where you swap stories about cameras, compare film rolls, and geek out over the little details that make every shot feel personal.

Tag a local business that’s keeping analogue alive.

Sea N' Soul isn't just a surf shop in Malibu. 🌊 It's where the community comes to feel at home. From the team to the regulars who show up week after week, this is what a real local business looks like. Homebase keeps the operations running, so the focus stays on the community.

If the job market feels confusing right now, you’re not alone. But before you decide whether things are “good” or “bad,” look at the data. 👉 https://t.co/RGHOgMVYzb

This month’s report shows slower labor growth, regional slowdowns, and early signs that hiring activity may be starting to pick back up.


Homebase’s latest Main Street Health Report draws on activity from 100,000+ small businesses and 2 million hourly workers across the U.S.

Awards recognize the win, but the real story is always the team. The pre-shift rituals. The inside jokes. The second-family feeling. Great workplaces are built in the small moments, the ones that happen before the doors open and long after the shift ends.

April flipped Main Street's spring script:

- Employees working slipped -0.2%, the first negative Mar–Apr reading in 3 years
- Hours worked fell -0.7%.
- Wage growth is cooling, up 5.7% y/y vs. 7.6% a year ago.

The difference shows up in the details.

We asked 1,200+ people about their experience working at small businesses. What stood out most? When people feel like they belong, they stay.

This National Small Business Week, we’re celebrating the teams and workplaces that make that happen. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

We asked 1,200+ small-business owners, managers, and hourly employees what makes a great workplace. And spoiler, the answers weren’t always the same. 👉🏼 https://t.co/iflcaRVyEH

While celebrating National Small Business Week, it’s a reminder worth paying attention to. What feels like a great workplace from the top doesn’t always match the experience on the floor.

The good news is that the best workplaces are built by listening. When teams feel heard, everyone wins. 🙌🏼 🎉
