Starting a Business
Small is Big in This Economy
Posted by Carole Matthews at 11:53 AM
A report released by the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy last week reveals that 99.7% of the nation's businesses are small (fewer than 500 employees), 50.1% of the nation's non-farm sector employees were employed by small businesses in 2000, and that small businesses created 75% of the net new jobs between 1999 and 2000.
Perhaps our presidential candidates should pay attention to these statistics and create some strong arguments for supporting the real driver of our economy -- small business -- during their race for the White House.

Bush should indeed listen.
Not only should Bush listen but other business owners should listen. As the Director of New Business Development for a small company I find that many medium to large companies do not want to work with us even though we are oftentimes more qualified and WAY more cost effective.
REMEMBER THE LITTLE GUYS TOO!!!!!
