Small Business Contribution to the US Economy
Small businesses in America are defined as independent businesses that have fewer than 500 employees and include family-owned restaurants, mom-and-pop shops, local record stores venues, nail salons, spas, and more. The United States is home to 32.5 million small businesses representing 99.9 percent of all businesses. Some 50% of all small businesses operate from home with small businesses accounting for 44% of US economic activity
