Just months ago, Alberta small businesses were among the hardest hit by the economic doom and gloom. But now, they are among the most optimistic in the country.

That's according to survey results from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.


"The sectors that continue to lag are agriculture, retail, and in some areas, the real estate sector as well, and oilfield services," says Richard Truscott, the CFIB's Alberta director.

Truscott adds the optimism in other sectors is a good sign that the economy is recovering.
