Here are stand out ones from the article. For just small business alone. I actually thought middle size business would have had figures like this.
* Small businesses create 75 percent of the net new jobs in our economy.
* Small businesses pay more than 44 percent of the nation's private payroll.
* More than 50 percent of the U.S. private gross domestic product is generated by small businesses.
* Almost 97 percent of exporters are small businesses.
