It would be difficult to overstate the impact of small businesses in America. They are the backbone of our economy and the heart of Main Street.
According to the Small Business Administration (SBA), small businesses employ more than half of the employees in the private sector and pay over 40 percent of the total private payroll in the United States. What’s more, small businesses are also responsible for over 60 percent of the new jobs created in the past 15 years.
We must put pro-growth policies in place and ease regulatory burdens on small businesses so they can expand their businesses and continue to create jobs.
Putting America back on track starts with growing small business and the job creation that’s sure to come with it.
