Today marks the beginning of Small Business Week. The U.S. Small Business Administration under Administrator Linda McMahon has been committed to expanding opportunity for entrepreneurs and job creators across the country. In addition to other events this week, SBA is hosting a 3-day virtual conference beginning tomorrow.
"Small businesses are at the heart of our Nation," President Trump writes in his Proclamation. "Our country's 30 million small businesses employ nearly 58 million Americans — 48 percent of the labor force. Each year, small businesses create two-out-of-three net new, private-sector jobs in the United States."
The Administration's economic program reflects that fact. In addition to ongoing regulatory rollback across the Federal government, the United States now operates "under a globally competitive tax system for the first time in decades," according to Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
