The News Is Not All Doom And Gloom For Small Business

Tuesday, May 6 2008

Last week, ADP released the April National Employment Report which showed small business employment - defined as businesses with fewer than 50 workers - added 42,000 jobs during April. It's proof that supports what I continue to say -- small business makes a huge contribution to the workforce and sustainability of our country.

"This moderate growth of employment among small-size businesses contrasts with employment declines among larger firms, and is consistent with the stronger growth and resiliency these businesses have demonstrated over the past several years,"said Joel Prakken.

Additional information about small business employment, including charts on monthly job growth and employment levels, along with historical data, is available at http://www.smallbusinessreport.adp.com.
