This year, National Small Business Week takes place April 28 - May 4th. The impact of small businesses on the U.S. job market is more significant than often perceived. Although a majority of small businesses, over 80%, operate without any staff, these entities still employ a total of 61.6 million people. This figure represents 45.9% of the entire U.S. workforce, a remarkable statistic especially when considering that fewer than 20% of small businesses have any employees. This data not only shows the importance of small enterprises in job creation but also their role in sustaining the economy. It’s clear that the growth of small businesses is integral to the nation’s employment health and overall economic success. #SBDCDaytona #Smallbusinessweek
