Why Small Business Owners Should Join Us
According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, small firms (defined as having less than 500 employees) represent over 99% of all employer firms, employ about half of all private sector employees, pay more than 45% of the total U.S. private payroll, and have generated 60-80% of net new jobs annually over the last decade.
In Illinois over 98% of businesses are small businesses, employing over 50% of the state's non-farm private labor force.
