Micro-businesses Create Jobs

90% of all businesses are micro-businesses and these small businesses (10 employees or less) contribute 20% of the employment. Micro-businesses not only contribute to the economy but they are sources for meaningful jobs that have important benefits like flexible schedules and opportunities to build a career. See what we’re learning about micro-businesses creating meaningful jobs.

We aim to help more small business owners become employers so they can grow their businesses and create good jobs for the economy.
