Small Business - Where the Jobs Are!

John MacIntyre of the Indy Star compiled an interesting set of statistics on job creation for the period from 2002 - 2003:

• 1.6 Million jobs were created by firms with fewer than 20 employees
• 400,00 jobs were created by firms with 20 - 499 employees
• 1 million jobs were lost by firms with more than 500 employees

And yet we keep changing large companies with tax incentives and special deals! If we really want to put people to work, lets put our tax dollars behind the companies really making a difference.
