Small Business Resource Center
As many of you know, 60 to 80 percent of new jobs come from small businesses.  Most Americans get their first job through a small business. This job creating potential is most important when times are tough.  We will know that our country is truly on its way to economic recovery when we start seeing job growth.  And, that’s what small businesses do well – they create new jobs.  Small businesses are the ones that will lead our economic comeback, here on Main Street, not the major companies on Wall Street. 

“As a small businessman, I know that the engine of job creation will always be America’s businesses.  The key to our economic recovery will be the growth and success of our small businesses.  We must cut taxes to spur innovation and give relief to our hardworking middle-class families.   We must ensure that small businesses’ success must always be a priority and the importance of their contributions to our society must never be forgotten.”  
-Rep. Scott Murphy (NY-20)
