For the Month of January

• Businesses that have fewer than 50 employees lost 12,000 workers.
• Companies in the 50 to 499 employee range added a net of 9,000 jobs.

These statistics paint a picture of an economy that still suffers from some affects of the recession but is also en route to recovery.  Small business owners can take various avenues towards raising money to build up their businesses, hire new workers and be part of an economic recovery.
