Are Small Businesses Really Saving Our Economy?
The media loves small businesses. Pundits sound off daily on the benefits of keeping corner stores in operation, politicians exhibit empathy for small business owners in speeches, heck—even I’ve written that shopping local can save us all.
But lately, my beliefs have been called into question. For everyone who loves small business and credits them with saving our economy, there are an equal number of people who believe otherwise. Case in point: reports of falling small business employment and data that attributes job creation with mid-size firms.
So what’s the real answer? Are small businesses saving our economy or not?
