This week I'd like to share an article from the US Chamber of Commerce, and their role in supporting small businesses.
Enjoy, JR

The U.S. Chamber Is a Big Champion for Small Business
The U.S. Chamber works every day to advocate for small business and help them achieve their goals.
Businesses of every size benefit from America’s competitive environment. Our economy is an ecosystem where big businesses and small businesses are vendors, employees, partners, and customers to each other. At the Chamber, we see every day how new, innovative, and bold entrepreneurs and small businesses strike out into uncharted territory to serve their customers, clients, and communities. We believe any business of any size ought to have a fighting chance to prove their value in the market.
Several groups with their own agendas try to claim the U.S. Chamber does not represent small businesses. But the breadth and depth of our work tells a different story. The U.S. Chamber represents businesses of all shapes and sizes from every corner in America.
Small businesses employ nearly half of the entire American workforce and represent 43.5% of America’s GDP. As we have for over a century, the U.S. Chamber represents the full spectrum of the American business community. And like America, the vast majority of our members – 90% – are small businesses and state and local chambers of commerce.
