As a small-business owner, you are helping to shape the economic picture after the Great Recession.
Small businesses accounted for 63% of the net new jobs created between 1993 and mid-2013 — or 14 million of the 22.2 million jobs created in that time period, reports the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Business Employment Dynamics. Post-recession job creation by U.S. small businesses (mid-2009 through mid-2013) was 60%; small firms with 20 to 499 employees led that job creation.
