Small Business Creates America’s Jobs

 

Small business continued to create

America’s new jobs in 2004,

according to the latest data. The

updated U.S. Small Business Profile

released by the Office of Advocacy

in October shows that small businesses

added 1.9 million net new

jobs during the latest year studied.

“Small businesses are America’s

job-creating dynamo,” said Chad

Moutray, chief economist for the

Office of Advocacy. “Clearly policymakers

need to consider their

impact on small business when they

are making policy decisions.”

Profiles of all 50 states, the District

of Columbia, and the U.S. territories

are available. Updated data

and statistics on America’s small

businesses are available at www.

sba.gov/advo/research/profiles.

The updated U.S. profile also

shows that:

• In 2006, the nation had an

estimated 26.8 million small businesses,

of which 6.1 million were

employer firms.

• Small businesses employed

50.9 percent of the nation’s nonfarm

private workforce in 2004.

• America had 1.1 million

Asian-owned firms, 1.2 million

Black-owned firms, 1.6 million

Hispanic-owned firms, 201,400

Native American-owned firms, and

28,900 Native Hawaiian and Pacific

Islander-owned firms in 2002

(latest data). (Note: these data cannot

be totaled, as business owners

chose multiple ethnic and racial

categories.)

• Women-owned firms totaled

6.5 million and generated $940.8

billion in revenues in 2002 (latest

data).

Business Profiles for the States and

Territories, contact Victoria Williams
