America's Future Runs Through Main Street

Small businesses create nearly two out of three net, new jobs and account for almost half of America’s private nonfarm GDP. Local businesses add a unique flavor to their communities, provide young people their first jobs, and create a multiplier effect as they attract more commerce to their local economies. These firms are much more than an economic force; they are an irreplaceable part of our American experience, a channel to grow our middle class and a path to economic opportunity.
